Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

[carla56]

There's still Etro, No21 by Alessandro dell Acqua, Missoni. Versace and Pucci are colourful, with prints and fabrics but we need to omit beautiful and interesting..

But they all are old and established brands… all the new ones have zero sense of colour. They can make the most beautiful dresses but for me a nude dress will always be boring.

I don't know if I woke up crazy but I feel like Adrian Appiolazza would be a much better fit at Marni than Moschino,

It’s so weird but lately, I’ve been obsessed again with N21 (I literally ordered 2 pieces last week). And I surprise myself gravitating more and more towards Missoni and Etro.
I feel like with French fashion being so obsessed about luxury and therefore marketing, Italian fashion feels more and more relevant. It’s still potent even if it doesn’t necessarily make dream or create conversations.

I am not surprised! I actually find things from N21 quite charming, maybe because Prada is too drenched in heavy intellectualism lately.
Alessandro is open about his love for Miuccia and that world of italian female and girls.

Great point, been thinking about it as of late. Not specifically in terms of nationality, as you also have Italian brands like Versace or Prada, but I really feel what’s cool now it’s something less pretentious and marketed. Less clean, less made to impress, more make to be worn.

Even for bags… Id rather wear something with no brand that something that screams look at me, I follow fashion and I’m wearing the coolest brand atm. Bags that everybody around you also have… quite vulgar

Ok I take back my observsation/guess of Pasqualetti being the next CD of Marni, apparently it is a female.

these days italian brands are the only ones that wont make you look like you just came out of berghain. Or a russian finding ways to spend their millions

yes you woke up crazy lol have you seen his last moschino !!! fashion vomit

Adrian Appiolazza is best as a nr 2 and he can keep collecting and lowkey coping all his fashion heros he has on a mannequins in his living room.

Being a fan/collector does not make you a creative director with an vision he is the perfect example that nr2´s are for a reason nr 2´s at many brands.

Just to dig it deeper in the design project process detached from actual customer. I would rather see Grace W. Bonner instead of her getting the position.

the horror persits ....

 

[j02215]

Good lord. Both OTB and Kering should be barred from managing fashion companies.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

Josep Font where you at?

In my parallel universe, he went to Dior after Raf, and we didn't have an endless parade of nude princess dresses for almost ten years.

More than anything, I feel that Prada’s RTW prices are reaching a level that feels obscene - I used to love their classic cashmere/silk knits and (out of curiosity) checked their current pricing - A long sleeve crew neck jumper in a fine gauge knit was priced at 2100€. 🥴

Jesus, get ready for dresses with waistband hems, dresses with upcycled leather belts and shirts with extra shirt sleeves.

I think that the issue OTB has is that they think ALL of their brands need to be these high-brow sartorial laboratories. That approach makes sense for Margiela and V&R, but it doesn't make much sense for Marni. Marni under Castiglioni was whimsical and experimental, but it was never downright conceptual like Prada could be. Hodakova could be an interesting for the brand, but she'll need to dial up the colour and bring the concept down to earth.

 

[jeanclaude]

Ok...the Circus is back in town...

 

[Nimsay]

I think its great timing bc the world wants more Marni
