Gabriela Hearst - Designer

[Salvatore]

Clare is Not coming back. That woman is Not stupid.
In Paris there’s some really unfortunate rumors.
Not that I was expecting better than GH.

Is it Jacquemus …. ?

Didn't he state numerous times himself that he has no interest in taking a peripheral creative director job.

Yes, but also money and clout talks.

Probably just a rumor but for fun's sake if it were true, bring it tf on. Let's dive deeper into the pits of hell and see what's goin on down there.

can't be worse than her.

yes, it can be worse. after all (at least the last five years) fashion has been a disappointment one after other.

If it’s really thé St Laurent girl she did a couple of very unconvincing lanvin collections right When alber was sacked… not promising at all

 

[RaisinBoy]

Who? You mean Kamali? She was at Chloé before…

I think the only way to revive this brand is with a big name. It’s cliché, but I’d love to see Theyskens. I’m sure that will never happen though.

Really curious to know who they will hire.

I think Jacquemus will never work for another brand. He’s too much on an ego trip for that. And if he ever worked for somebody he’d just do Dior or Chanel I believe.

 

[LadyJunon]

I don't think I have a particular designer I want at Chloé, but I think that a designer from one of Hedi's teams (Saint Laurent or Celine) could do wonders, if they really they really embrace the youthful flou aspect of the house. I'm thinking of something like this, this or this for the house. Drop the menswear and lighten the colour palette and it could be really good for the house in terms of beautiful desirable clothes.

Yes, you’re right, she was a designer in the studio during the most unmemorable time from Clare’s Chloé to be precise.
I think it’s safe to say Saint Laurent is her most successful stint and that BOF article was quite on point imo
I completely agree though, they need someone directional, but richemont is not a group for bold moves…

I see a lot of Natacha’s aesthetic in this pics you selected actually!

Her designs must be in my subconscious...

Seriously though, Ramsay-Levi produced really good collections during her tenure.

In hindsight, seeing how neither Ramsay-Levi's or Hearst's very different approaches worked for Chloé, has me thinking that there's an issue with the merchandising, marketing and distribution rather than the clothes themselves...

 

[Cerise Vendome]

Who would you want them to hire? I know he doesn’t want to go to a big house but JACQUEMUS would be so fabulous.

some Chloe (but make it good) -esque looks from Jacquemus

 

[Lola701]

^^
Don’t give bad ideas to people at Richemont now…
Jacquemus needs to fix his own house, first.

 

[philophile]

I'm definitely going to get a sh*tstorm for saying this (given the fact that the designer I am going to mention is not well-liked over here), but Cate Holstein is actually a perfect fit for Chloé. She's obviously been often inspired by this house.
