Strangely enough it looked indentical to the trash that [insert name of real designer at Gucci] was making. The link is Tom Ford.

Actually, this is the first real swipe I've ever read about. In the past he's always been pretty diplomatic when discussing their relationship. I'm not saying he's right for saying the things he did but if he's wrong then Yves is just as guilty, if not more so for starting the mudslinging. And it's not as if what he said isn't true....Yves insults lots of designers, and he doesn't come off as the most pleasent and down to earth person. But as mikeijames said, who knows how old this quote is?softgrey said:isn't this over yet?...tom is so bitter...i can't believe he's still taking swipes at YSL...
well we can see from the first collections from john ray and alessandra facchinetti prove that the aesthetic ran deeper than just the head. it's easy to blame it all on tom, but it's not very realistic.PrinceOfCats said:Strangely enough it looked indentical to the trash that [insert name of real designer at Gucci] was making.

i'm waiting with baited breath to see just how well this collection's received by the public. i've seen a couple of celebrities sport pilati's new stuff...i wish him success. i do however think that pilati's vision for ysl does not present the same glamour and eroticism owed to the label's name sake. tom ford apprached that idea from a different angle than pilati. i agree that what pilati did was true to the house, but i'm still skeptical about how successful his reign will be compared to tom ford's.PrinceOfCats said:Pilati's first collection looked like a straight take from the archives,whereas JR + AF's looked like Tom Ford all over again.. So I'll keep an open mind about YSL and a closed one about Gucci
tom was in new york city a week ago & he may have spoken to liz then?mikeijames said:i wonder how long liz smith has kept that unused quotation in her slow-newsday file
uhhh now i know why u leashed at me on my new threadMeg said:he's just lashing out because he knows his departure is what saint laurent wanted and that he was never really welcome there. bring back splendor to the label? He did a crap job of that. So glad he's gone.
yea youre right ...i stand by himlady grey said:tom was in new york city a week ago & he may have spoken to liz then?
I'm a gigantic fan of tom's gucci career & also of much of his YSL work.
It's not useful to compare tom to YSL.
tom's gucci career is justifiably world-famous and beloved by many in & out of the fashion world.
