Demna Gvasalia - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

[ChicVogueSair]

Was anyone else underwhelmed

I just read blah blah blah and me me me…
Hope it works for them.

That's it send the other designers home!

with the way how collections look these days, i doubt the current CD's have touched a fabric before they get replaced. That's why everything look the same, no personal touches anymore.

Even production videos released by houses on their instagram only show the artisans, while in the past its not a surprise to see the actual CD get down and dirty cutting or draping a dress on manneqquins.

The bar is so so low that were in an era where a designer is praised for still actually sketching looks.

A genius, I hope he continues to maintain his codes regarding streetwear.

The onions and potatoes thing he said. He’s brainless.

i hate that guy, he is such demna stan. fashion victim

When your first ever Gucci purchase turn out to be the most basic Jackie bag in all black leather with a « worn out » treatment, it tells me everything I need to know in terms of lack of personal style or identity.

He could have went for a RTW piece and didn’t need the validation of Demna to buy a Jackie.

This is unfortunately the type of customer Gucci needs right now.

Can we dissect the second slide too as a forum community-building exercise?

Why do i feel like he is that fanboyy invited to fashion parties to take photos and to make posts about it. But behind the posts he was ignored all night over the VICs.

funny you mention this as i'm scrollin through the alaia thread and mulier is going on about how he told the team he wanted "ball gowns but sex" and the clothes needed to cry... maybe i'm being uncharitable, but when you see someone like galliano talk about a collection he's nerding the f*ck out about the actual *construction* of the work as much as the emotion.

"ball gowns but sex"

Thank you for reminding me of this absolutely cursed line.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Mulier really said that… that’s unhinged. I wouldn’t even associate Alaia with ballgowns either. Evening wear of course in a slinkier sense, but not “ballgowns”.

You know what I’ll be honest this Gucci reboot lost steam for me already even if I’m half in when he did the reveal. I guess we’ll see when the next show’s here.

I don’t understand why pieces were not available online? Also… what the point they are limited to only October? The pieces are produced. Isn’t it better to keep them till they sell out? What are they gonna do with unsold pieces (in case there are any)?

 

[RosesAreRed]

Also… black packaging is here to stay? First I was no, but after seeing all the unpacking videos - it’s kind of grew on me it’s low key iconic. Whoever lived in TF era - it it true the packaging is from those days? Saw someone mentioning that

I'm imagining most of the major pieces were produced in very limited quantities (perhaps 1-2 of each size per location), so they're doing this to both induce desire/hype, and to gauge demand. And the site does say that there will be an "online launch," the date is just indeterminate. If there is anything left over from this initial brick and mortar launch, they'll shift it online and sell it with a second round of production (in numbers reflecting the information gleaned from this initial launch).
