Is Dario the new Sabato? Many of us are discussing it as if he has already left the house.

I don't want to bash him completely because he might surprise us with something fantastic ..... but ..... from the first images under his tenure to the show being « cancelled » in favour of having an intimate presentation, it's not looking good. I cannot really judge him until I see his actual work, but I would love someone not afraid of high-wattage glamour, power, and sexiness for today's time at the helm.

I fear Ludovic would be more of an Anthony Vacarello than a designer. I think he could be great at building a world through imagery and vibes but he’s not much of a designer. I liked his ann demeulemeester but I wonder if he has the range to converse with more than sexy dressing.

Gianni leaned into the beauty of men and masculinity in my opinion and Ludovic is more queer in his approach to menswear. Less bravado. Gianni really celebrated men. Not saying one is better than the other. Just that his approach is different.
Can ludovic do more than erotic minimalism? I’m not so sure.

Can he handle silhouette, tailoring, proportion, innovation? Doubtful.

He would be great for creating viral moments and press but I think after a few seasons, we would see how hollow of a design language he really has

I also just realized like the other poster mentioned, we are talking as if he had already been ousted

Hear me out: Ludovic de Saint Sernin for Versace.






His stuff may veer too provocative to most of this forum, but I think that he has built a convincing vision for sexy glamour. The bulk of his womenswear wouldn't feel too out of place at Versace and his Gaultier show has shown that he could deliver a good Atelier Versace. His menswear might need an extra dose of masculinity, but that's minor.

it will be wang x balenciaga era for versace no pls

he has no depth nor sense of color and print and storytelling we seen it with his JPG that he was lost . Gaultier atelier saved him in construction but direction and creativity was his and that was lost.

will be same for versace with him

highest LSS could achieve is to come close to what vaccarello is doing at ysl after a hedi type designer established a clear code and he can blue print/milk the hell out of it.

in recruiting designers we have to seperate creatives that can work with in a brief and milk it , and those that have a vision of their own and overhaul the brand or recreate it .

LSS could make it in a house like AZZARO with limited brief to have a chance to be somewhat successful.
