Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

[vetements]

The Face asked Rick Owens this question and I figured TFS would appreciate it or at least find it relevant to what's going on.

What is your thought on the current state of fashion with all the musical chairs of designers at the moment moving between houses given that you've been such kind of a fixture?

Well, makes my position more unique, I guess. It makes makes me wince a little bit at all that of that talent toyed with. Somebody like Christian Lacroix, to be just tossed out. I mean, there people that don't deserve to be treated that way, and I mean, yeah, Lacroix was a while ago but that's just an example of somebody being used and thrown out, and discarded of such value. It's a shame.

I thought that was rather smart of him to throw shades without being obvious about the `talent being used and thrown out` part.

Much as I love Daniel Lee to be continue working, does his aesthetic fits with what Jil Sander the designer was doing before? his BV maybe, but certainly not his Burberry...
I love his BV and I love his Burberry and I am pretty sure I will love his JS, but guess we will have to see for now...

Can you even really say Rick Owens is "throwing shade" I mean, he's telling the truth. The truth is not shade!!

I love all those rumors of the musical chair...It's hilarious.
I just saw somewhere that people are talking about Hedi going to Jil Sander....
All these fashion social media are playing with this musical chair to get the attention!!

Renzo Rosso only had big money for John, otherwise the budget is minimal which is why it’s not Daniel .. .

I might be the last one to know but Bruno Sialelli is the head of design at Phoebe Philo.
