without saying too much so as not to come out to my sources (since they fired half the employees and there are very few left) ... at the moment he is making everyone do research on what could be the future of Versace, and the briefs seem very promising, you can tell he is a cultured person, respectful of the brand's past, very humble and enthusiastic. You can already tell that there will be big changes but without distorting and erasing what has been done by Gianni and Donatella. It is clear that it is just a brief, we need to see the result, but in my opinion it will not be a Sabato 2.0
thank you for sharing first of all...
just small balance in the enthusiasm :
:-)
Even if ancora boy did have a project with all the cool stuff in it, he had also briefed to the teams and it sounded all great and good start but then the result and process is mid because taste level is mid.
my worry is they do have a lot of things in common as the studio guy that gets along with everyone especially with the big bosses and that also how he could move in to the position he ended with at Miu Miu. because he was good in not out shining Fabio etc
both of them are actual the over all nice guy (shady or toxic level are nothing to mention ) but basic gay levels they both score higher, one can objectively come to the conclusion.
but lets see i am sceptical, i don't think it would be worse than ancora 2.0 but i am curious/sceptical if it will be amazing or even good !!
(for ref ancora for me was basic mid level taste / not enough for a big brand like gucci)
i would go so far to predict that like ancora acc will be the make and brake factors as well and he will be weak in this area ( even if versace has a stronger voice in RTW)
for miu miu people online for get that its recent success is backed by merch push and styling influence of lotta ...dario was there for years, even with the mid years of styling of katie grand.
and the acc team is a territory of bertelli leadership and interference and his merchandise teams and factory
miu miu is a dialogue of miuccia with who ever is the stylist foremost and the machine that follows behind its this means studio team as well.
allot of miu mu is styling of miuccia obsessions of a young girl in her mother & grandmother closets, i think versace has more difficult design dna to tackle and modernize and make coherent for 2025.
