The problem with John is that a lot of people want him to recreate his past. They wants the outrageous John when I think at some point, we should want for those designers just to express themselves, maybe on a smaller scale, do their own thing.At the end of the day John’s a cautionary tale. It’s a pity that one of the greatest couturiers in history fumbled it but there’s nothing to be done about it. I don’t know if he’s still at the age that he can reconstitute his brand or handle another megabrand. I don’t know if he wants that, or is he content to just creating? The caliber of his talents though needs the sustenance of a full on atelier.
