Genuinely curious, do long nails mix well with fur?

Yes, I think so.

I miss old Marc Jacobs to be honest. Fendi would’ve been fun with him. But he’s kinda finished.

I actually would have preferred THIS Marc at Chanel tbh

But 2025 Marc is just obsessed with Labubu dolls and ghetto *** nails so thats a definitive no.

We’re on the same page. When I say Marc, I meant this Marc. I don’t really mind the nails, fendi can and has been ghetto fabulous.

And I do mean that era of Marc. Not sure I love what or where he’s getting his inspiration from or lack thereof in his current era. But fendi could benefit from those seasonal fashion themed collections. I’m nostalgic for being able to tell exactly the season a collection is from, pre-alessandro at Gucci

I still have a teal embroidered skirt from his 2005 collection, I think. Can never part ways with it.

Wow Marc for Fendi is such a good idea. Why I never thought of that! That would be actually PERFECT!

I’m not even sure because he did that collab with Kim Jones and it wasn’t that great.

Maybe Marc needs to go the fun back at his house. Maybe he needs to show in Paris instead. Because the issue is more his isolation to me…

Sniffing nail polish 24/7 while playing with Labubus also could have affected him...

I mean yeah it can be fendi furs out of LABABUBUs

Marc just feels too Warholian to helm a house like Fendi - his whole vocabulary is rooted in irony, pop nostalgia, and self-reference. That kind of postmodern cleverness worked in the 2000s, but luxury now has shifted toward sincerity and craft.

Sincerity as in rising prices and decreasing quality? Or you mean saying something is a limited “numbered” edition but when it works producing more? Or you mean talking about sustainability but producing out of Europe to reduce costs? 😅

By sincerity, I don’t mean sustainability signaling or limited edition gimmicks - I mean conviction in form and archetype. Gen Z understands what clothes are supposed to be; they want those ideas treated seriously. Balenciaga pushed irony to the point of collapse - selling cheap, banal things at absurd prices just to prove it could. That era’s done. The next wave wants meaning, not mockery.
