Lucas Ossendrijver - Designer

If he were to take over at Dries, I can totally see him being committed to the textile component in DVN's work. I support this choice.

Ooh, Lucas at Dries would work well !!!!!

Theory is a total waste of his talent.
If he is indeed not interested in going HF maybe giving the helm of Helmut Lang would have been wiser than giving it to Peter Do.

After reviewing his entire work at Lanvin I must say there is one place for him now and one place alone: Prada.

but who is ?

I wonder what he’s doing nowadays. Last I heard, he was doing Theory, but that turned out to be a quick, capsule collection. I thought he was taking over Theory’s mainline collection, but that job was assigned to Jeffrey Kalinsky (which, from what little I’ve seen online, isn’t actually that bad.)

It’s unfortunate that I never got a chance to see much of his work at retail. The only merch I did see was the basic, retail-ready pieces, like a Lanvin polo or simple button-up…nothing that I’d recognize from the runway. Eh, c’est la vie.

In addition to DVN, somebody in this thread (tric..maybe) mentioned Uniqlo. Now THAT, I can totally see as well.

He has the kind of sensibility that would lend itself well with Uniqlo, in case Lemaire was to discontinue designing Uniqlo U - Not sure it would add enough nuance as another collaboration next to it.

Either way, Fast Retail would be smart to keep him in the roster of talents under their wing.
