MGC is a terrible CD though. And Gucci needs someone who got the whole package. Yes, in terms of merchandising, her product is potent but as we know it, Gucci is also the shows, the campaigns, the people they dress. In 2028, they will get their beauty license back so, the person heading that must also have a vision regarding all of that.
The Dior machine is so huge and well oiled that MGC never had to deliver iconic shows or campaigns. Her most memorable moments are the t-shirt, the tote bag and the relaunch of the saddle bag.
And as I said, again, her tenure is rather short and there’s already a fatigue.
Gucci and Kering needs to start looking at long terms project really. Vaccarello is almost going to be a decade in at YSL, Demna is going to be a decade in at Balenciaga. Since Tom Ford, Gucci never had someone stay there for 10 years. You need a sense of stability if you want to compete with Chanel and Vuitton.
I hope they are really looking at all options. If it also mean separate men and womenswear, they should also go for it and choose the best talents.
