They want JW Anderson at Dior because the gay mafia people are obsessed with "Loewe" right now. Easy-peasy hype but he'll be out the revolving door in a few years when the next trend comes to town.

Exactly! Everyone is gagging over his contrived intellectual gimmicks but I've never bought into this overhyped, cringeworthy act that's been going on for a decade now.

Have you ever been to the Loewe Flagshipstore in Madrid or Barcelona? They are full of older upper-class ladies with her daughters. Some with hundreds of years aristocratic history background as owner of the biggest businesses in the country and abroad. The are very protective over their family heritage: Many families in Spain have long histories and may even hold titles of nobility, which can be a significant status symbol. They are (mostly) fun, drink like mad, love to mix high-end brands like Loewe with Hermès and Zara. Living in affluent neighborhoods, such as Salamanca in Madrid or Pedralbes in Barcelona. The kids attending prestigious private schools or universities, such as IE University or ESADE.

And THEY buy Andersons LOEWE bags like candy. It's very Almodóvar. It's similar with their aunts and cousins in Munich, Zurich, Cannes or Saint-Tropez.

There is nothing cringeworthy to see in the shops, only very solid made basic products with knowledge of the craft and a little twist that reflects the Zeitgeist.
And a lot of real art pieces - from Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Walter Price.

Most of the hardcore clients I know told me the Loewe bags are the best made leather bags with the softest leather that you can find at the moment. Everywhere. They are even better made than a Kelly or Birkin Bag. And these women laugh at the offerings from Chanel at the moment.

The young twinks in Europe can only afford the anagram tanktops atm lol

Ready for the insufferable fashion critics that obsessively hated on MGC to intellectualize the JWA era into something greater than it is. New era of emperors new clothes.

I never liked MGCs aesthetic, but where are the 50+ ladies going to go with no MGC or Virginie?

She's going back to Valentino after the non-compete clause expires.

Spill????

Now this would be a much better move than her going to Fendi, let the Michele circus end before it spirals any further.

 

[Frederic01]

Why would she go back to Valentino? That makes no sense? Alessandro's contract ends in 2027 anyway.

The only brand that makes sense for her really is Fendi, and womenswear only. Gucci is too much of a 360 vision encompassing menswear and womenswear and children swear and I don't think her vision can stretch that far? What's she going to do, togas and gladiator sandals for babies? LOL.

They can wear the clothes they already wasted their money on.

Vanessa Friedman reported that LVMH actually renewed Kim Jones’ Dior contract in October for 3 more years, which would imply that Kim left of his own volition (I think the press release also said that Kim “decided to resign” not in those words but something to that effect”
