Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

I mean, Dion Lee is out of a job and a brand.
If he is going to keep with that abrupt change of style of his latter years, then he´d better stay out (he probably is more interested in the gym than in the atelier).

Oh my god whoever has to deal with that is going to be absolutely insane I wouldn't even touch it if I was a professional designer. A brand with a top name with no actual personality. It's all over the place
Isn't that the exact same thing people told Karl before he accepted the job at Chanel.
 
For those wondering about Trussardi, the brand has decided to take a collective approach with a focus on heritage. Collections will be designed by a collective of designers led by Cosmino Dorato, the brand's "design and product director".
 
I think Galliano should remain at Margiela, honestly.
Haider will kill it at Tom Ford in 2025 and beyond.
Chanel? Hurry up already. If it's Matthieu, just call it.

I feel like the waiting game is more annoying than them having to switch folks around.
Peter Do being out at Helmut Lang is weird.
 
I think JWA doesn't make total sense for Dior. They're only moving him there because of all the hit bags he's produced at Loewe.

IMO he makes far more sense at Fendi - whose bread and butter is handbags... Fendis big push for the Holiday season are lollipop holders. It's really bad at Fendi right now -
in general juggling designers around the same company is not a good idea.

They have the bag lady at Fendi.
For me Fendi should be done by an Italian or at least someone eccentric. I think Karl only worked well at Fendi because he was totally immersed in the culture of Rome and it allowed him to create something distinctive.

Even the Moschino guy would be great at Fendi.

JWA is great when he dresses women. His best collections at Loewe were womanly. When it verge on teenage wear, it’s fun but less A propos.

But beyond commercial imperative, we should also remember that the creative cachet is what maintain those brands.

Marc Jacobs didn’t create new bags at Louis Vuitton. But he brought a creative cachet and his play with the monogram is what pushed the brand.

I’m all for this tbh. I don’t care for Dior but they needs a bit of excitement even more when it’s a brand that sells itself and that has clients who buys the RTW and the accessories.
 
Re: Loewe, I feel like they may go for someone like Duran Lantink and honestly, I wouldn't be against this idea. After all, LVMH did the same thing 10 years ago with Jonathan and it's been working wonderfully.
