Damn, she’s good. Cruella has really put them in an impossible situation. It’s impressive and dare I say, slightly respectable how she has them by the balls. It’s rare to see a creative director push back like this. More power to her, I suppose.

I doubt she MGC is going to stay for long , JW Anderson will ultimately take over the women's line. Everyone and their mother knows knows JW Anderson is a far superior designer

 

[Olaffo]

Is he? Really?

Yes he is, I saw him few times in London in art gallery or some other gathering for whatever reason and he is really handsome with boyish mischievous look in his eyes etc. On top of that Anderson is brutally intelligent and charismatic and quite down to earth with his attitude. Also complete single focused only on his work since the times at Prada. I think Manuela Pavesi would have been so proud of her protégée now seeing him taking over one of the most important fashion houses in history.

I remember that during Marc Jacobs' era at LV, the design team handled the Pre-Fall and Cruise collections, and the head designer would get proper credit (though I can’t recall her name). That setup might have worked back then, but Pre-Fall and Cruise today just aren’t the same. They’re huge commercial hits now not collections you can afford to overlook.

And I just realized the outfits for the Dior Haute Joaillerie show were newly designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. I mean, seriously how many collections are they designing each year? It’s wild.

Why would LVMH even agree to that ? Brilliant of her to do that.

Circumstances. They had a gap year between Raf and her.

Weird indeed. That’s what Virginie Viard had at Chanel. She was an employee that was promoted.
But regarding MGC, it would be very weird indeed because French law is very protective of employees on that matter.

So maybe her alleged lawsuit is about her thinking it’s abusive. Because with a designer, the only way to get rid of them would be to do a Rupture Conventionnelle. Interesting…

Go Maria, get your chomage!

Very bizarre ! Well, that explains everything.

Imagine Maria Grazia wanting a Carte Vitale! Go Maria indeed! Going to the Prud’hommes with Sydney Toledano is hilarious.

Geez, it was even more unceremonious than I thought

So I wasn't the only one!

What should be a party after almost a decade of mediocrity is dragging so much that there will be almost no excitement left when the proper announcement arrives.

"The next Dior Men collection will be designed by J. Anderson. Next question."

Bernard, please.

Just imagining Virginie and Maria Grazia at a career and reorientation seminar at France Travail agency in the 8th. Though I m fairly certain Virginie claimed her retirement…

Can we just give unbiased credit where it's definitely due, you would do the same thing or want your loved ones in the same situation to fight back
She is in total right to do so as per contract to push back and be compensated, as other way galliano got fired for breaching his contract for saying the thing he said on video.

Its time to stop glorifying corporations as the mighty right can do no wrong, people are not disposable especially when they brought you so many billions.

slightly respectable !!!!! why not just not give it then!!!!! if it has to be so hard for all just a person that most of us just find NOT the most creative out there.

more power to every one not treated correctly after doing their job factually well. (regardless of personal taste)

Makes me want to search & buy a vintage We all should be a feminist Dior t shirt lol

Jonathan Twinkerson in 2008 after showing his fall collection at the Two See store in London saying: he makes crazy clothing for men, scary women, and lesbians.
