Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Gucci?

[yslforever]

When you say “jet set glamour” I immediately think Michael Kors and those advertisements he did with Testino (?) LOL.

Do you really think that aesthetic could still be relevant in the year 2025? I don’t know. You can't really go anywhere interesting with it. IMO "jet set glamour" has reached its finality in a way and should stay in the 2000's where it belongs.

And as for sexy/sensual fashion, I don't know about that either. Just look at Vaccarello. He is stuck in a time warp doing the same slinky sexy thing over and over again. It's tired now. And even when he tries to push the boundary on taste and does something vulgar (I'm thinking that horrendous bum dress on Zoe Kravtiz), it just looks so cringey and dated. We really do need something new. Something fresh and unexpected at Gucci.

Ah non, jet set glamour for me were those Gucci campaigns with Jacquetta Wheeler, Mini Anden or Caroline Ribeiros by Mario Testino.
The Michael Kors campaigns just tried to catch the wave (poorly).
It was 25 years ago as you said. So it might be time for a revival

@HigthaVandah It's because of climate change, the bears are starving! 😪

I still think that Hedi at Gucci makes zero sense.

Also:


This image is gonna give me nightmares, thanks. 🤬

I'm here to make it worse for you. Back in 2017, YSL collaborated with Nobuyoshi Araki for a shoot with featuring images of a nude Rubik splattered with "white paint":

@LadyJunon... delete this.

I still don't get what's modern about jet-set glamour from the 90s/00s... which was inspired by the jet-set of the 70s, in 2025? It's just another creatively bankrupt copy of a copy of a copy fashion "inspiration". Not to bring up an old meme, but it's giving reheated nachos.

I'm so sorry, but at least it's censored.

There are several planned announcements in the works for tomorrow: Gucci (which is going to be “radical,” I hear, and set off a string of additional announcements)

Additional announcements might fit the AV bill, but I'm not sure if the AV at Gucci can be considered 'radical' in any way. It seems more like a snooze fest. She had earlier mentioned a rumor about Demna going to Gucci, but that would be completely idiotic. I guess we’ll know for sure later today.

So I guess Friday is when we can expect the announcements instead of today ?
