First thing I noticed during the livestream.He showed the collection in the same venue that Valentino did for their SS21 “Collezione Milano”?

И даже силуэт не изменил.
Скучный.
Я думаю, что у Gucci должен быть Матье Блази.

Pretty much this. Whatever the opposite of recency bias is.If we are starting to defend Frida’s Gucci, who tells me that in 7 years people would not defend Kim Jones’s Fendi and Virginie’s Chanel.
As soon as I noticed this, it was a glaring issue.Also, I just realised that Sabato didn't design any pants despite this being a winter collection...
there's nothing of those two worth defending, so you might be right about thatIf we are starting to defend Frida’s Gucci, who tells me that in 7 years people would not defend Kim Jones’s Fendi and Virginie’s Chanel.
Maria Grazia he is certainly not. She has an incredible strength in accessories and knows how to make hits for whichever company she works for. Those "JADIOR" shoes from her first season are still a best-seller for the brand. And all of those bags she / her team produce each season, love them or not, are more often than not commercial hits.
It's ironic because Gucci has a much stronger heritage and history of leather goods and accessories than Dior, yet somehow they are one of the weakest players in that market at the moment.
In terms of the clothes, well they are just so generic looking. "Beautiful" but also irrelevant too. And at that price point, well I don't see why you wouldn't just buy Valentino or Dior, which have the Haute Couture savoir-faire and that kind of elevated brand image that Gucci will never have.
Their only strategy at "brand elevation" (the fashion catch phrase of 2024) is to raise the prices and give everything a very generic and therefore "timeless" allure in order to convince the consumers that somehow the brand is worth the investment.
Frida had like 2-3 hit collections but the VAST majority of her shows were terrible and lack lustre and that hideous "Frida" pant she kept pushing ie the jodhpurs with the loose crotch were godawful.Frida Giannini put a pink and white polo shirt tucked into low rise skinny black pants and loafers on the runway.
Revisionism will never make me say that she was so great at Gucci! I will never allow myself to convince me that!
But I will always say that her talent in accessories was unmatched and her clothes probably belong elsewhere.

We got to do better! LOL
