Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Chanel?

[george5]

Chanel in her grave:

for real, if Gabrielle was alive I’m sure she would give away all her Chanel’s rights and royalties in order to ban this woman from buying french fashion forever

I don’t get what kind of client would make such a drastic change style-wise; I guess it’s one of those Eastern Europe/Russia “trophy wife” who loves to show cash…

And from a fashion perspective, I dress differently there. The last time, I wore a Mr Alaïa mongolian lamb coat that I would never wear in Paris weirdly.

That being said, as much as I enjoy Switzerland and would probably live there if I was a very famous designer, I’m not sure it’s the most stimulating area of the world.

The strength of Paris is that, it’s a cultural hub. Every arrondissement has it surprised (even if most designers rarely goes out of the usual ones once they hit a certain status), there’s always something to do, to see.

Paris and NYC and a bit London are that even though Paris is not the buzzing Paris it used to be.

It doesn't surprise me. I wanted to go there on a trip by myself and on one blog a woman who lives there wrote to dress averagely so as not to draw attention to herself as a single woman. A friend of mine once spent two weeks there with her aunt and in those tourist places strange men were constantly talking to her. In other parts of the city it was no problem. She liked the museums.

At this point, I’m more excited to see who’ll be cast on the next “Drag Race.”

It will sounds dreadful but this SPJ is growing on me…they really need Chief Aesthetics Officer bc the company is mess currently. Clothing wise atelier would have to appoint new people to get the actual sh*t done. Chanel rely on singular vision for CD so heavily that the brand imagine will be deteriorating further if they won’t announce the name soon.
