Most Overpriced Designer?

at that price they better pluck the chicken right in front of me , turn it into a gourmet fried chicken, cut every strand of feather and individually reconstruct and sew them into my skin.
At that price, it should be a nearly extinct rarissime bird and not a chicken.
Even real tortoise shell (turtle shell actually) glasses aren’t that expensive.
They are 10 to 30k.
 
if someday AV makes HC for YSL.
On my dead body. They are not allowed to do HC, and maybe if the Kering's exec were nicer, they might have gotten the rights (it's at the discretion of the Foundation), but they aren't, and AV has not the skills to be a couturier. They (Kering) were this close to get the rights with Hedi. But Hedi left and Pierre passed.
Maybe later, with someone else as CD, someone else as execs, and someone else as owner of the fashion brand.

so interesting...
So you mean Pierre Bergé's last husband, Madison Cox, can authorise or deny the rights to the Saint Laurent Haute Couture ?

At this point, is it a question of person? I don’t see why Madison Cox would give the rights to Kering anyway.
Do they have an heir already in case something happens?

Would it be hilarious if L’Oreal buys YSL and Madison gives the rights to the Meyers.

I was wondering the same about Alaia…As Carla is getting older too. Maybe Farida should be the heiress of the fondation.

He owns Saint Laurent Couture. So yes.
The same way the fondation owns the archives of Mr Saint Laurent.

Exactly like that, it's split, Madison owns the Couture and the Foundation the archives.
Pierre and Yves were so pissed with De Sole and Pinault, they made it extra complicated to made Couture out of reach of them.
 
The intensity I feel comes from me not being able to afford it but why are blazers so expensive!!!! They are READY to WEAR!!! I was looking at Tom Ford, Rick Owens, and YSL for something actually considered with a sharp and powerful shoulder and also cut longer than the midget smedium Thom Browne trend that seems to never go away, and everything is like $4000+ ... ? Can you PLEASE get over yourself
 
^ I just bought a Lanvin blazer (Lucas era) from TheRealReal for $148, and it came with the $4425 price tag still attached. The fabric is unbelievable.

As much as I share your pain looking at new collections, there's still good stuff out there at reasonable prices -- don't let increasingly irrational MSRPs ruin your day.

And for those who don't do secondhand, at least it's sale season!
