Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

They saw the Versace announcement and said hold my beer, we WILL make the bigger splash.

It's just all so transparent. They tried a relatively unknown talent at Gucci and it didn't work, so they needed sales quick and went with their other "star" (I use that term loosely) designer to boost sales at Gucci. He must've still been selling well at Balenciaga to move him over to Gucci.

Not sure to what make of it other than its a sad day for Gucci.
 
a random thought but do we think that all of these musical chairs related changes in the industry will create more career opportunities in these brands?

I'd think its the same amount of people and jobs overall just in domino effect and different clusters in different brands.
Like Demna bringing some people from Balenciaga, firing Gucci people which might create new job opportunities for new talent. Then those let go Gucci designers might go and replace people from Fendi who are on freelance contracts and could be fired awaiting the new CD there.

Honestly its a stressful time to be part of design and artistic direction teams..
 
Balenciaga is free at last!!! Well..if those "genius" at Kering don´t give the brand to someone who could even sink it more. And taking into consideration their great idea to save Gucci is to put Demna (a staled one trick pony) in charge...

They live in a parallel dimension. Haven´t they seen what´s happening at Valentino with AM?? That´s exactly what´s gonna happen at Gucci: it is going to be Balenciaga clothes with Gucci logo (like in that idiotic collab they made several years ago).

I think that nobody expected Demna in Gucci and I think it’s really smart move.

Balenciaga is still the main cas$$$ cow of Kering.

What happen at Valentino everybody expected, when the news broke that Grandpa Couture is in, if you have common sense everybody knew it’s going to be failure.

Balenciaga was stale in sales in the last report, if my memory does not fail. The thing is AM and Demna are both the same kind of "one trick pony". No one can expect anything new at Gucci by Demna...it´s going to be the same Margielisms and post-soviet crap as in Vetements and Balenciaga.
