Do we think it’s a coincidence that his apparent departure to Chanel has been announced today, 15/11 aka the day he was announced the new CD at BV in 2021? But then again, can we trust Ms Tweed with her “exclusive” reports? The person who was aggressively pushing the fact that JG is leaving MM whilst his contract at MM has actually been renewed for months LOL.

I honestly don’t think MissTweet’s all that people make her out to be, she’s just another semi-insider with a few connections here and there. Except unlike most others, she’s not attached to a publication or some sort of bigger entity so she can fling everything she hears onto the web with little consequences. A couple of good scoops out of the kitchen sink she throws at us is enough to get her credibility.

No thanks. Chanel needs someone with a sense of humor and a light touch. Blazy overdesigns and overthinks everything.

his BV is only so slightly successful because he is still under lee's shadow.... no way can he head a brand from the beginning. His works are too complicated for its own good and has 0 character.

I think the success has more to do with the artisan team.

God no pls don’t i love his work at BV!!!

Exactly my thoughts. I think I might cry if he leaves BV.

than she been right on many other things ...also if one don't trust a news source why read into it ....i don't think she aggressively pushed or confirmed she JG was out at LV its always written in context of sources and insiders notions and ideas and thing can look strongly like its headed into that direction while few days later change for other reasons we wont ever know.


i know people at mm and they were also left in the dark for a while because JG expressed himself to the team his unhappiness with the owner of MM and also did not continue to work as extensive while negotiation where taking place before summer

I think might cry if he goes to Chanel. He can stay where he is!

A hot take, fashion has nothing to gain from Chanel right now, maybe in 10 years when tacky reality tv stars and influencers hold no power over media. Anyone with actual talent will just go into early retirement with a Chanel appointment.

Of all the contenders that were mentioned this almost seems very random.. His work at BV isn’t even that great, and we are already tired of it and him… so just scratching my head trying to figure out this choice…

I don’t know who are “we”, but he’s only been gaining momentum in the wider media. Not that I think it would be a good appointment but the big houses will always look to general public rather than fashion-y people.

I should rephrase that, “I” am tired and bored… But nonetheless I agree in disdain!! :/ the bar is low, which comes as no surprise and fitting of these big houses!
