Why did they get rid of the other guy… He was doing fine?

Omg I’m so stupid I thought this was the Tom Ford thread

I was probably the only one who actually like his POLO RL. I mean it's Polo RL, it's not meant to be high fashion or anything but I did feel like he adds some designs elements to it and the material have been very nice as well. Lot's of great tailoring. I do wish to see his vision for Celine given that he worked at the Old Celine and then there's the now Celine with all the codes embeded by Hedi.

Old Celine and then there's the now Celine with all the codes embeded by Hedi.

If all the stars align, there's an angle for Rider's Celine that "legitimizes" a wide variety of styles for him to explore from the get-go. Between his Philo credentials, the fact that Philo is designing under her own name now so he needs to distinguish himself from her, Hedi being a sort of secondary founder via the menswear which will make it feel less pathetic when Rider references his immediate predecessor's codes... there's a way for Rider to establish himself as the proverbial secret third thing.
