Jim Sander, my favourite fashion brand.

Jimmy Sander would be better...lol

Well, !f he's not going to JiM Sander, I hope there is a possibility of him taking over Loewe. His designs (both at BV and Burberry) are much more convincing than what Proenza Schouler have been putting out for years, and if LVMH wants Loewe to go streamlined with some spunk and strong leather goods after Jonathan leaves, they better take someone who actually worked for Céline with Phoebe + made Bottega a major fashion player after Maier left. It'd also be their chance to compete with Chanel in yet another way now that they got Blazy.

Jil is Bellotti, already signed.

Daniel Lee would have been great at Loewe but those PS boys are on it...

He's going to end up at Moncler or something... There's nothing left...

Picking PS at this point is/would be (I'm still hoping someone else comes through) SUCH a weird move from LVMH, the boys haven't had a genuinely interesting collection or even just a hit item for years and the things they have been doing since they returned from Paris - which wasn't a big success for them either - have been so derivative of many designers occupying the post-Céline realm of fashion. Cate Holstein would lowkey make more sense nowadays.

^ To be honest I cannot explain this decision, and nor can my industry friends... We're going to enter an era of super random CD choices... That lady at Bottega, Proenza boys at Loewe, Bally guy at Jil, that other lady at CK...

It’s not THAT random to hire PS if we consider it in the context of LVMH’s expansion in the US. I still don’t think they’d be capable of sustaining the same level of excitement around the brand, and it doesn’t really make sense from a creative standpoint. However, that was also the logic behind giving Louis Vuitton to Marc Jacobs in the late ’90s. Still, I wish LVMH snatched Daniel.

LVMH's expansion plans are certainly a capital factor there, but even with that in mind, picking those two now is rather peculiar. Marc was still a relatively young talent when he started doing Vuitton, whose rtw didn't even exist up until then. Meanwhile Loewe is one of the top clothing brands at the moment, and they plan on giving the creative reigns to a duo that has smudged their own signature(s) during their second decade in the industry by doing washed-out versions of their old stuff or things other designers are doing. I'm not sure naming them CDs of LVMH's currently most relevant fashion brand will pay off, in America or elsewhere.. the same way Wang for Balenciaga or Gabriela Hearst for Chloé didn't pay off.
