Frida Giannini - Designer

[Avonlea]

^Awful. Photography students produce more professional looking work. They spent on Giannini and Ruini but couldn't get a decent photographer?

Looking better than any Ancora campaign with a fraction of the actual Gucci budget...

Not sure who asked, but she is doing closet tour now lol.

Why does she sound like she smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day

Because she probably does. 😕

Bitterness and resentment can do that to the skin. At least she doesn’t look “overworked” and pumped to the brim.

the more years pass the more she sound like donatella post rehab slurring her words because of long term damage of substance abuse even in italian she barely articulates.

she really shows off her interest in this video jet set and name dropping on brand

The video of her wishing merry Christmas was rather puzzling. I hope she is doing well…
It’s been a decade since she left Gucci.
I refuse to believe that she nobody called after. I would also believe that at some point the phone stopped ringing…

But yes, it’s hard to say while looking at her that she is looking great and refreshed…

Going from the life of a CD of a huge house to nothing overnight must have an impact on someone’s life.

I mean let's be honest with ourselves: Gucci is an accessories brand. I don't believe for a second that they were EVER looking for a 'real' designer.

It is strange that Frida never landed another accessories gig though. She's responsible for some really iconic pieces. Does she have a nasty egocentric attitude or something?

After the success of Tom they were.
People were also buying clothes…
The simple reality was that Frida was more ambitious than Alessandra and the moment they decided to formalize the power of each person and give them lights, it was doomed.

3 person with an ego cannot be creative directors of Gucci after Tom Ford. And as you said, with Gucci being a leather goods house, the person with an advantage is the CD of leather goods and accessories.

John Ray’s collections were good, much better than the womenswear by Alessandra. But Frida had free hands. And with the success of the flora collection (which was a capsule detached from the runway collection), she sealed the deal and had elements to plead her case.

Why she never landed another accessories gig? Ego probably. Too expensive also and maybe attitude too.

When you have been the CD for Gucci, with the CEO as your husband too so a level of power quite important, it’s difficult to imagine going somewhere where you will have to make compromises.
And she wasn’t just going to be an accessories designer. Probably CD or nothing. Maybe she did some gigs secretly as a consultant…
