Frida Giannini - Designer

[TaylorBinque]

^ Wow, they are really trying to clean up and open a blank canvas to rebrand. And they are definitely eager to get rid of Frida’s point-of-view.

What's going on at Gucci? They're really hell-bent on trying to erase her from the history. It's in such poor taste.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

OMG, they're trying to get rid of any trace of her and at all costs. If anything, I'm kind of intrigued to see the show now.

 

[Nymphaea]

Horrible! Without any respect.

Let's be honest, Gucci owes Frida nothing. Not respect, not delicacy. Gucci does not exist for her but rather for the coffers of Kering shareholders. In order for Gucci to move forward they have to break from the past, simple as that.

And frankly, Gucci has made her plenty rich so as far as I can tell she's in a pretty good place. Whether or not Gucci will be in a good place remains to be seen.

Well the new collection looks like it were costumes from a new vampire movie. I hope that was the look they were aiming for.

So the soundtrack was from the film A single man? Hope that doesn't mean anything.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. Do you really think that Tom will ever want to go back to Gucci?
The Pinault Family tried very hard to erase the Tom Ford years at Gucci & Saint Laurent for the past 10 years that it's almost impossible for them to even think of him. Give Gucci to Tom means give him the total control over the brand and the Pinault doesn't want that. That's why he decided to leave and even beyond that, that's why he didn't want Bernard Arnault to buy Gucci in 1999.

The success, in less than 10 years, of his namesake brand is his best revenge.

 

[Creative]

Yup, I know and I wish he stays where he is, but with fashion you never now. It would not make any sense at all, though. The rumors were silly since minute 1.

So the frontrunnes are Alessandro and Maria Grazia. It will be one of them for sure.

For those who haven't seen it, the documentary on her by James Franco: GUCCI, THE DIRECTOR.

It's a good documentary and with all the dramas around Gucci, i think it's good to see how was her creative process and her "journey" as a designer.

According to WWD Gucci is set to announce Alessandro Michele on Wednesday.

 

[perhydrol]

If that's true, it's gonna be the worst move I've ever seen, they fired Frida because her sales had been bad and now they want that weird guy- his stuff won't sell like hot cakes imho.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

He might just be a filler until Ricardo's contact expires.

 

[Myriah S]

Judging by men's rtw fall 2015, he will suck.

Unlikely

 

[Quarks]

As much as I am not a fan of Gucci or what Frida does for that matter, the way Gucci handled things left a bad taste in my mouth. Clearly says a lot about the brand.

 

[oliverhm]

The documentary is wonderful. After seeing it, I was thoroughly convinced that she's one of coolest, most talented and interesting people on the planet.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I highly reccomend that you check out The Director on netflix. It was fantastic!

Frida Giannini, Patrizio di Marco to Marry

TYING THE KNOT: Former Gucci creative director Frida Giannini and president and chief executive officer Patrizio di Marco are starting a new chapter. The designer and di Marco, who are partners in life and share a daughter, are planning to tie the knot on June 5, according to sources.

The date could afford double celebrations as it is also the executive’s birthday. Details are being kept under wraps, but sources speculate the wedding could be taking place in Sabaudia, a beach resort about 60 miles from Rome, and a go-to vacation spot for Giannini.

The designer and di Marco have been keeping a low profile since their abrupt departures from the Italian luxury group earlier this year, but are said to have reached an agreement with Gucci that settles all contractual issues. The development puts to rest speculation that Giannini was considering seeking damages following her sudden exit from the group. Gucci declined to comment.
