Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

If the suits from Gucci are smart, they would hire MGC to “save” that mess
The suits are smart but desperate, it's not the best combo. Also the current CEO's strategies create a lot of family drama and turmoil: they are 4 siblings and he is one of them, the other 3 are really not appreciative of their shrinking net worth.

I remember that around 2020 someone was about to replace MGC, confirmed by top management positions, and finally didn’t happen. It wasn’t even on the news.

I trust Miss Tweed 100% so I guess it will happen.
She has proven herself reliable. The issue of the non-compete between Kering and LVMH has been raised multiple time, but each time they just wait (just like Burton and Givenchy), meaning ancora Ancora for a while.
 
wonder if mgc will have a different approach to gucci or she will still have her column dressess. its not so bad as long she atleast tries to get ideas from the archives and not just roman greek goddess her way into gucci.
 
Listen, Gucci is just going to have to take one for the team with MGC if it means getting her away from one of the most prestigious brands in the world. I think she'd do well at Gucci or any other Italian brand. I never thought about JWA at Dior, but I am not mad at it. I am open.

I would have thought about Nicolas going to Dior before JWA.

I think she might be good at Gucci because she's run through all of the archives at Dior just like John did at the end as well, you can only go so far with Dior. She's just got to bring the sex and maybe some romanticism
 
lol Fashion never invented nepotism but perfected it. You should see the girls «interning » there, or at Dior and Hermès. Almost exclusively : nobility or billionaires’ daughters or from someone already working there.

The musical chair game is very intense for sure at the moment!
this year has been the most intense in those terms...too much anxiety for us lol
 

Anderson to join Dior, freeing Chiuri to revamp Gucci



By Astrid Wendlandt The QUEEN :-) misstweed


4 October 2024


Anna Wintour may not have it her way in the end. The powerful Vogue editor, who has been lobbying LVMH boss Bernard Arnault for months to take back John Galliano for Dior, as Miss Tweed reported in July, ultimately could not convince him. It's Jonathan Anderson, the Northern Irish designer who has turned Loewe into a huge success, who's going to get the job, several senior industry sources said.


Anderson has been talking openly about his move to Dior at dinner parties, several sources said. For months, he has been telling friends that he planned to move on from Loewe, they said, but to where? For LVMH, and in particular for Delphine Arnault, Bernard Arnault's daughter, giving Dior to Anderson is the best way to keep him.


Delphine, who became CEO of Dior in January, is a huge Anderson fan. She was the one who hired him for Loewe in 2013 and got LVMH to take a minority stake in his eponymous brand JW Anderson. LVMH continues to finance the brand's losses to this day.


If Anderson joined Dior, it would mean that Maria Grazia Chiuri, who came from Valentino in 2016, becomes free to inject her talent and vision into another megabrand. The smartest move for her would be to replace Sabato De Sarno at Kering's Gucci. It would make a lot of sense. After a year and a half in the job, it's become clear that De Sarno has not won over the crowds with his "quiet luxury" version of Gucci. It's become so quiet that shoppers stopped paying attention to the brand and sales have been sharply declining, particularly in China.


Chiuri is a genius when it comes to marketing and designing products people want to buy. She helped more than triple Dior's turnover and greatly improved the brand's desirability. "If Chiuri joined Gucci, I think investors would welcome the news and would be willing to be patient and wait for her magic touch to work," one senior industry source told Miss Tweed.


The merry-go-round of designers comes as the fashion and luxury industry is going through its worst downturn in recent history. The performance of Dior, LVMH's second-biggest brand after Louis Vuitton, has markedly declined in the past year. If LVMH confirms that Anderson is to join Dior, he would give the French brand a formidable creative boost. Anderson turned Loewe into the world's most popular brand in the second quarter, according to the Lyst index, which does a ranking of products and brands every quarter based on online searches and social media mentions, activity and engagement worldwide.


Miss Tweed will publish more details on these major appointments on Sunday.
 
sex-less lol...MGC is the least desginer that suggest sex or even sensual...
But you know she'll bring her trick of performers, dancers and circus clowns on the runway to distract from her basic b$tch offering.
With a set design totally unrelated to the collection.
I don't understand why Ancora guy has not used this trick yet to save his ***.

Because he is even more lower on the basic ladder of BASICNESS personified.

MGC at least has found a working title Woman Power to hang her seasonal directions on and she has at least experience in hit bags &acc game like Alessandro, this covers the bill allot.
As we know with this you buy freedom to continue personal passions/indulgence´s in RTW and projects for the brand.
Sell lots of bags your can be as basic or crazy as you want lol
 
I can’t imagine how Dior would look like under JW. Loewe looks like JW but better done, it’s him with a nice atelier behind.

MGC set the bar so low that anything would be an improvement.

I think, even if I adore(d) Nicolas, that his time as a creative leader is long gone. He is in this awkward era now so I don’t think his Dior would be as good as his Balenciaga, but would be cool to see how he reinterprets the amazing archive of the house. Working with no frame does him no good.
