Is Raf gay, bi or straight?
I know he was involved with a woman for a long time

^ Oh...I've never met a Unicorn- might be interesting... I wonder if they would be excluded from being Mods...

we do not exclude anyone here at tFS!
or do we? well, just the démodé anyway...
and unicorns are not démodé
they are great
they are beyoooond
they are almost quilted!


(Paul Smith is also a rare unicorn. A happily married-to-a-woman one)

A unicorn member?? I've always though it would be really difficult to buy hats...

Tommy Hilfiger is Straight , he has a wife and ex wife , a son and daughter but can we really class him as a designer ?

 

[taz]

Is there any straight male designers? They seem to be as rare as unicorns.

to add Lacroix, Ungaro, Nino Cerruti are married with kids.

 

[Boomer]

^ I'd put Tommy Hilfiger in the Ralph Lauren Copier class...

Are Haider Ackermann and Joseph Altuzarra gay?
Haider is so sexy!

 

[Thanatos]

^ bi, actually!

Stefano Pilati isn't bi! I don't know where you got that from

Being gay allows him to look at women objectively.

“I always wonder why 99 percent of the top male fashion designers are homosexual. In my case, I would say that my sexuality has led me to love women to death and to hate them as well … [Being gay] helped me understand the male mind. But when I do a fitting with a woman, I think, Would this woman seduce me?”

i think raf simons is either bisexual or just doesn't care. he actually had a very mysterious,longtime relationship with véronique branquinho in the 90's till around 2000 or 2001. and they still remain very close friends. and i also heard he dated hedi slimane for a time.

Stefano Pilati isn't bi! I don't know where you got that from

At some point previous to that interview he had indeed been identifying himself as bisexual. Too lazy to look it up, but I think the article it was in mentioned his experience at Prada, too.

 

[Dkammern]

^^
indeed, i knew from an old interview in some spanish magazine.
he has dated both men and women in the past.

and the "being gay" being between []ed doesnt make it a 100% sure assumption either

Before I met Emmanuel,I was living with my albino boxer named Bepi and occasionally my 17-year-old nephew would stay with me for a summer.My life was me, me, me. I organized my life only to think about myself,and,of course,fashion,YSL,sales,numbers etc.That's it.I was suspecting on the thing called relationship until I met Emmanuel.All of a sudden,this guy is here,and it’s not just me at house.When his eyes are looking at me,I just wonder what he is thinking right now?To me,he is a really special guy and the most important one.

I think he said he was bi in the interview in Vogue US Mar.2008 issue.

i think he is talking about his nephew. havent i read somewhere else that it USED to be something occasional but that he is now living with him?
the use of "meet" could just be a bad translation or a misuse of the word (he is not 100% fluent in english)
