Discussion: The State of Kering

[proseccotabis]

I just know that if they could go back in time they would’ve never appointed Demna. It was possibly the most distrastous decision ever in fashion history I believe. Not even Wang at Balenciaga, because Wang was hot at the time and Balenciaga was kind of small.

I think about this at least once a day. These seemingly seasoned mammoths of the corporate fashion that have experienced so much within their leadership in their careers appoint Demna as a CD of GUCCI... they wanted the shock factor? they have it now with kering actively collapsing. Im freightened to think that they will keep demna in both balenciaga and gucci...unfortunately expecting that as a consequence they will start firing people soon too. what a disaster.

The contract renewal for “an unspecified term” that he signed back in September was only until after his July couture show which makes me wonder if they resolved his promotion to gucci that far back, he would leave the company if he didn’t take gucci, or if they would have made another one right after..

good point. what im also wondering why there is the sudden pause in suspicions around other potential candidates for the balenciaga CD role. maybe its going to be the same situation as glenn at margiela and diesel? looks this way so far..

Maybe the search is over already. The headhunters had an easier job thanks to the big chanel opening prepping and parsing through designers already.
