Maria Grazia Chiuri - Designer, Creative Director of Christian Dior

It was really a smart move of the brand to orchestrate what USAID has funded in the third-world regimes so that their wives and daughters would feel so inspired to become part of the brand because we peasants never get it!

`a tonne of logo stuff and commercial things with no soul mixed in with some random bits of feminism thrown in to remain somewhat topical`

This is so funny!

Yeah, I also realised that unlike Hedi or Oliivier or Haider Ackermann etc, no one has ever suggested Maria becoming indepedent and set up her own brand.

I do applaud the executives at LVMH (Delphine?) who decides to change her out despite her Dior selling well and stable.

It’s not selling well at the moment. If it was selling, they would’ve kept her

I was walking in Tuileries today. She's coming ! (And I guess also leaving at the same time lol)

Ughh..
Every time this thread shows up,
I keep thinking, "WHAT NOW?"

They better enoy this while it lasts, because JWA is probably going to burn it all down.

So no news about it right? i think she is ready to go...and Loewe without a show, just a presentation...

Oufff the way I flew up into this thread like bad taste escaping the pits of MGC's creative hell ... I nearly broke my neck thinking it was go time.

They sound like it is a great loss for us third-world citizens without her educating corporate feminism!

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

The fact that they insist so much on this, makes it artificial.

I’ll never be convinced she actually read anything from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Like Big Kim (and Kerouac), they read, like, 2 or 3 wiki articles, and called it a day.

I don’t HATE her clothes as much as everyone else here does. To me, her clothes run the aesthetic gamut from just pretty to 50 shades of hideous. But when I hear about her female-friendly inspirations, that’s when I roll my eyes so much that they figuratively fall out of my eye sockets.

Oh god, I knew if she’s leaving she would milk th out of International Women’s Day

Funny enough, Adichie actually tore her debut (the one with those t-shirts) to shreds, because she thought her portrayal of feminism was too white and skinny.

And, probably, too “rich” as well. I don’t doubt this story.

Oh I'd love to see that !!

By fronting Dior campagins and attending their shows, she discredit herself like Nancy Peloci fighting for freedom and human rights around the world while ignoring its congressional district.

Wildest prediction is that narcissist, who thinks he's the second coming Juses at Valentino, will be booted in a few seasons, leaving the group to resort to MGC. After all, she was the driving force behind the duo.

This is very very very good a predication and assessment. That would give us some hope from escaping complete and total ruins at the house of Valentino. You are right, she was much more well suited for Valentino, I've always said this.
