Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Balenciaga?

[ironypoisoning]

Anybody who says Martine Rose is an idiot. She's a great designer but she's just too similar to Balenciaga. Makes sense given she worked on the menswear but still. Martine is 1/2 to 1/4 of the price of Balenciaga with the same sort of ethos. She doesn't seem like somebody who would be willing to stop her brand either. Only way I could see it is emphasizing Balenciaga's take on modern day rich people the same what that Martine takes on the working class but that seems not only boring but just not sustainable creatively.

It does make sense actually as she probably needs more cash flow for her own brand. I mean look at the ridiculous amount of collabs she does.

They need womenswear, shoes, bags and couture. It’s not gonna be MR for this reason in my opinion. They should not go with the designer with no “big brand” experience. My bets are on Peter.

How have the bags under Demna been selling? I haven't seen the handbag freaks comment on them very much out in the wild.
