Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

[Salvatore]

I've never heard of him, but his CV is interesting. I would love Mugler to have a couturier again and to show during Haute Couture Week.

I tried to look for Miguel Castro Freitas work, but I found nothing on Google.

I don´t care about his resume, I only care about his clothes!!

Does any friend of a friend of a barber of a brother sister of an intern know what happened to Azzaro

The ugly truth is that 30 to 50 years in the future, Pinault, Belletini, etc won't be the protagonists of their stories, they'll be the supporting casts in Blazy, Michele and Demna's.

As along as the original sin is corporate greed, I don't think the system will ever change like we fighting in world politics. Those brands has become so big that they can no longer afford to cater a small crowd of customers that they are just wanting to be expensive Pierre Cardins(no insult to the designer who actually made designers clothing affordable) persuading gullible public to buy their products. The solution is either those brands scale back which is very unlikely (even Miuccia having total creative control over her brand with her husband on her side just wants to make as much as money she can by producing a lot of trashy products) or those creative talents all go independent(if they manage to profitable andsubstainable without falling in the trap of corporate greed again).

Riccardo Tisci has cleared his Instagram & Profile pic!! Wondering if we will hear an appointment very soon? Where would he go? Interesting his name wasn’t really in the mix of all the designer moves.

I wonder where Grazioli will go? If he’s on a non compete at the moment

I've been told from inside Missoni that Grazioli was fired because nobody ever bought anything from his runway collections, and they were desperate

impossible... they raised the prices x2 before grazioli was there and after. and i saw more stores open

the basic stuff was selling not show collection

 

[proseccotabis]

it wasnt selling even in the outlet.. tragic

yes he was correct recently

That's bad....what is the point is no one is buying to raise the price...a shot into the foot...

And also sad Grazioli proposal wasn't well received but consumers....maybe he wasn't the right fit in the end...but if he was fired because of that,its not gonna be easy or fast to find a new house...people talk and that is a bad precedent for him and a risk for a house.

I can’t believe that Stefano Pilati made a lot of people care about his work again for a Zara 1off collab with nothing after…

I think his collection gave the runway a bit more press and relevance, but in stores I don’t think it appealed to people who buy missoni. I think missoni has so much potential in the market, people are looking for beautiful craft and heritage, I myself wear it often also and didn’t feel any connection to what grazioli was doing.

Hold your horses as allegedly we're due for some new appointments much later in the year And before you ask, not where we already know about upcoming vacancies (i.e Balenciaga, etc). Might even include some familiar faces (from the past)... Everything feels very, erm, random these days.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

I can’t keep up with this. I swear each season for the last few years has had major shuffles and rumours so I’m very out of it and exhausted.

^ Trust, we all are Especially now when we're seeing a designer debut and know it might as well only last for a year or so based on recent events
