I've been told all that elaborate embroidery and especially sequin work that Alessandro Michele had been using during his time at Gucci — the giant Paramount logos, the tigers, all that — came from India. The person who told me this (I can't remember what brand they worked for, unfortunately) said India's "the best place for that."I saw a video about the embroiders in India who worked secretly for Dior for years, and now Dior is publicly acnoleging their work, etc.
And the ironic thing is that LVMH keeps bragging and bragging about their "diversity and inclusion" policies...well, what about including people who studied at an unknown public school??1000000000%
Guys and girls in private schools are just rich kids who like shopping. It’s really terrible. And somebody from a public school will never make it to LVMH for example. Really sad.
Regarding John leaving… if he goes to LVMH, it would be the most ridiculous thing ever. What they did to him was beyond shady. They treated him so bad. I could never.

Well, we don't know because they're not hired... that's the point.Who for example? Is there anyone out there who studied in public school with enough genius, the necessary talent that we are missing and who is worthy of taking over from the great creatives of fashion?
I agree, the world is bigger but the problem is that it has added confusions.Understandable but lazy. If they want fresh ideas, new blood, they should cast a wider net.
And why would linkedin not be helpful? Is there something special about fashion that linkedin can't accomodate? Sorry, but this hiring process based on connections, friends, lovers is so primitive and can bring the worst vices into a business. Not a fan.
I saw a video about the embroiders in India who worked secretly for Dior for years, and now Dior is publicly acnoleging their work, etc. I mean, think about a girl from India who does embroidery really well and how a online platform like linkedin or Behance could help her find a job in Paris or something. Talent is everywhere, Lola. The world is much bigger than CSM or the french schools. Even France is bigger than Paris, as I think you know more than me.
The industry's narrow point of view can only lead to us here speculating about a mature designer's new job.
Well, we don't know because they're not hired... that's the point.
Sure, but do you think these people are looking on the internet to find genius... that's laughable.But unlike before, now the internet exists to show genius among other things.
The great designers of yesteryear did something that no one else did, and they forged their names through talent, innovation and creativity.
Sure, but do you think these people are looking on the internet to find genius... that's laughable.
Also, the great designers from yesteryear also often had significant help and connections, very few came from truly nothing. Lots of designers ended up who they were or got started because of connections, even small ones.
But the word genius doesn’t mean anything as it can only be applied on a long lasting level. And can we be honest? Generally geniuses integrate the industry through knowing people or having « culot ». That’s how you have people who are self taught in fashion. Your talent gets you to meet people who then will allow you to nurture it.Who for example? Is there anyone out there who studied in public school with enough genius, the necessary talent that we are missing and who is worthy of taking over from the great creatives of fashion?
I believe that most of great fashion genius whose legacy is still alive or remembered has not studied in any school.
But does it work like that in others industries? The best talents, even if they comes from « unknown public schools » can through their grades, joined more reputable schools where their talent will match the reputation of the schools and then allow them to choose which companies they want to work with.And the ironic thing is that LVMH keeps bragging and bragging about their "diversity and inclusion" policies...well, what about including people who studied at an unknown public school??
As the question goes: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"If there is any genius out there, we should follow him. With so many people shining on the internet there must be some fashion genius breaking the internet.
It’s uncomparable…That takes me back to Galliano's graduation collection and Christian Dior's first collection. These simply shined on their own.
