Nicolas Ghesquière - Designer, Creative Director of Louis Vuitton

Probably one of his best interview!
I’m actually surprised by how on spot the questions are and how they covered everything from his infamous Balenciaga controversy in 2002 to his approach to working with celebrities and how he is candid about knowing that people don’t always love his work today.

And finally, someone is not throwing big words to explain a simple fact or feeling!
I almost want to buy the issue just for the interview!

@Creative since you are asking, this is his thread.

Thank you! Was putting these words in the search thing and it didn't pop up. I knew there was one.

Nico, I sometimes forget how much I used to love you and how much you inspired me.

I really wish he could have a moment of brilliance once again, but I think he is to happy living his life as a rich man and couldn't care less about fashion anymore.

I'm still paying for overpriced Vuitton rtw to get his old silhouette
Though compared to Chanel rtw Vuitton is value.

this part of interview :
Kaisik Wong? That was around the time we first met.

Yes, of course. In a way, though, I learnt my lesson because there was this book that is actually very famous now [Native Funk & Flash by Alexandra Jacopetti]. And that was where we took those references from. The mistake was that we didn't say that ... There was Kaisik Wong and we also had Koos Van Den Akker. After the show I said that it was a tribute to Koos Van Den Akker and I didn't mention Kaisik Wong, which I should have done. I was so visible then and people were intrigued by my combination of references. They were like, "Where is it coming from?

We know it but we don't know it." The references were kind of blurry. I was outed. It was violent. I did think, why me? Why was I targeted in that way? But I Learnt a lot ... In the end, it was constructive for me, it determined my future, to openly cite references, to celebrate the past with no shame, that opened possibilities for me, that broke some rules and that still applies to my work


To still think he was targeted is not taking accountability for simple finding the original piece that was 1:1 copy and at time the excuse was that he did not know who it was they thought is was just theatre anonymous creator etc ........ and now he says he did know but forgot to mention lol

and he does not cite his inspirations when ist of Alaia, Mugler, or his last copy of russian costume etc etc
Kl or Hedi does photography furniture books exhibitions hotels while doing a lot of shows etc etc what is he waiting for lol

I feel he is contrived now and its ok to just enjoy your life besides work but pretending you want to do all these things pls bro!
