Demna Gvasalia - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

The thing about Frida's shows at least is that she strongly diversified her references and inspirations yet making it very Gucci. I did remember that I was actually CURIOUS what other world she was going to move us to. Fine, it was commercial, it wasn't McQueen m, but it was...something. it wasn't like even with Michele when I specifically knew what to expect and I was more or less right in terms of what I saw.

The camel collection from FW 2010, the YSL inspired looks from the SS 2011 show, the gem coloured Veruschka looks of FW 2011, the Art Deco world of SS 2012, the gothic FW 2012, the architectural SS 2013, the femme fatale of FW 2013,,, so much stuff. And it's rare I can count it all down!
This!! We werent looking to Frida for anything grandeur, she delivered sexy desirable clothes for Women at the end of the day, paired with fabulous fashion campaigns that i to this day prefer more than what we have seen over the past decade at Gucci. (I miss M&Ms excessive retouched campaigns)

This whole idea of her being "boring" and her clothes giving "Zara" is just unnecssary not everyone needs to or can be Karl, Lee, etc etc
 
Frida’s Gucci especially at the end of her tenure was really tired and dusty. Brand perception that time was bad. Gucci wasn’t really in the fashion conversation. Her clothes while fine felt lost and anachronistic for that time. It’s now that we’re used to mediocrity that we see what Frida did as something great when it was just there that time.

Uh oh… be careful, praising women designers on tFS these days is a provocative move. Godspeed. They just get jobs because of their ovaries and uteruses, dontcha know?

The last time the gays on here praised a woman, it was Madame Grès.
 
I was never a fan of Frida's Gucci. Not the way I dress, not the way I wanna be dressed. Up or down. But reading some comments/posts here, it seems her work was absolutely horrific or tedious to die. Don't think so. It was just not my thing but I can't say it was bad. Why didn't those losers at Kering hire Pilati by the way ? He is still 'available' or am I really living in some sort of a cave? Would have made some more sense than Demna. Would have brought more fun while keep it hi-class.
 
Did he get rejected for impersonating Margiela during an audition?
Funny he wants so hard to be Margiela, while Margiela seemed to try hard to hide, Demna carries his face everywhere, almost yelling : "look, look at me, at me, here I am, here I go" and so the ego fest (or feast) goes on forever and a day.
