who is the toxic one? Haider? I always thought he came across like such a lovely person? Is that not the case??? Is anyone actually nice?

You can be a lovely person and difficult to work with. He is known to be difficult but that doesn’t mean that he is a nasty person.

yes haider &co to the team

He is still planning to move the studio to Paris no? So currently they are working in the London studio?

I had feedback from some seamstresses who work in Milan who didn’t know him as they are not fashion followers, saying he is lovely with them, very demanding but extremely gentle and charming

Interesting that his pre fall collection (it's called fall 2025 on the website though) has already been for sale. Very commercial yet luxe looking.

I like it. That's a beautiful shade of purple.

i will explain it like this , i know 2 people that work with him in Berlutti days separately the both disliked their time with him and i did not even ask them how it was working with him. (comments were from rude/arrogant never in office..... to never again pls he is nice to important people but trash to the team)

at TF its people that was looking forward working with him (because thy went off on first impressions and now they don't .

i did not ask about paris update yet ( but some people moved to paris already i noticed i don't know if its for personal reasons or office related.)

I dont think seamstress are the ones first line of receiving offensive behavior like the door man or receptionist , its often the inner design team in review meetings while working on the collections etc

people that display this behavior know how to keep it to a circle so its not public knowledge or the same experience to the rest of the company. (from my experiences)

Hmmm, I’m not sure the pre-collection was already designed by Haider but rather by the in-house design team, as is usually the case during such transitioning periods.

The women’s tailored jackets from the same collection look very much like the models carried through from the seasons prior, not at all like the ones seen in Haider’s show, which are very much in the cut and styling people have known him for.

Haider did not work on this.

They needs to redesign that website. It’s a catastrophe!
Zegna and Thom Browne’s websites are far more superior to this. Nevertheless, it’s great that they are finally shipping internationally. Hopefully, Tom Ford beauty’s website will follow that path.

And no the pre-collection wasn’t designed by Haider. But I wonder if Haider wasn’t involved in the visuals. They have that moody vibe from his show.

^^^LOL That eyesore of a website has been in need of a redesign for over a decade. The neglect is hilariously a display of cluelessness— or just blatant arrogance, at this point. Likely both.

Excellent excellent excellent point, PDFSD.

It’s unfortunately become protocol, expected and even organic in the industry to curb one’s treatment of people according to caste. The cheapness of character that permeates throughout the most exclusive and most rarified positions never really go away for some.
