Daniel Lee - Designer, Creative Director of Burberry

I wasn’t a fan of the Cassette and a lot of bags from Daniel’s era but he proved that it was possible to make fun stuff at a very serious brand without losing the quality. The gimmicks, the loud nature of the accessories never compromised the quality. The clothes were well made and so were the accessories.

Yes it could have been done without the obnoxious green but it showed that artisanat doesn’t have to be a sanctuary of boredom.

And unpopular opinion: I don’t miss Tomas Maier at BV. And I loved some of his clothes there…When it was good. Tbh I don’t miss anybody anywhere in reality LOL.

british michael kors is their best bet at this point.

i also miss tomas at BV. They would be on top of this "quiet luxury" had he stayed. I don't know if the short spike of lee there was worth it. The new positioning made the brand less luxurious for me.

Amen, I though with Tomas BV was going to be one of the key "quiet luxury" player or just a "pure luxury" player, akin to a smaller Hermès, but for a more artsy crowd.
I quite like what Daniel Lee did at BV, I just wish it was at another declining brand, Ferragamo or Trussardi (am I the only one remembering Trussardi and the greyhounds) ?

I miss a lot of people. I miss Alber first 😢. Him and Lanvin were a sacred marriage, even if some thought it was repetitive sometimes.
I miss Kenzo. I miss Issey, I even miss Hanae's butterflies.
And I miss Karl @ Fendi and Chanel, John @ John Galliano, Martin @ Hermès (they should have knocked off Nichanian back then), I miss Helmut Lang, Jil Sander.
I miss Gianfranco @ Ferré, Hubert, Alexander, Anna Piaggi,
I miss Azzedine
I miss Claude Montana.
I miss Pilati @ YSL.
I miss JPG's couture by himself.
I even miss Zoran and Donna Karan, they would have shown those Olsen twins how to do it.

Fck I am old.
