Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Gucci?

John wouldn’t tolerate / survive the pressure and any type of criticism. The only reason it worked in Margiela was because he was given total freedom which wouldn’t be the case in Gucci and he would be out after 2 minutes
I think John Galliano would definitely be able to handle the pressure and criticism. He made it through all that anti Semitic drama a few years back and landed back on his feet. But I do agree with you.....if he doesn't have complete control of the brand....it wouldn't settle very well with him. I'll say this about Galliano. He's probably one of the best....and one of the most accomplished fashion designers on the planet. His talent and his imagination has no boundaries... but.....but....John is also known to be a huge egomaniac....and he can be viciously opinionated. To be blunt...Galliano can be a royal b*tch. Same can be said about Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld. Galliano wouldn't want anyone else's hands involved in his work.

That's it. He wouldn't allow anyone near his work. i guess that is why he was given absolute freedom at margiela, thankfully. But i think its a given that him and someone like cantino in a place like gucci ( WAY larger than MM) would clash
 
^ they should crowdsource. Everyone send in your proposals!
