Have they name any successor yet?!

And the award for the Ugliest Sandals goes to...

People kinda expect for LVMH to hire a black designer at Vuitton when I think it would make more sense for Off White.
I don’t think in terms of story telling, the blackness can be long lasting for a brand like Vuitton.

That being said, I feel almost embarrassed for saying this but this is probably the best off white collection ever.

Not as far as I know. I imagine someone is lined up as it seems like Virgil had things planned carefully before he sadly passed away.

his wife, is she a designer too?

I'm unsure, I don't know anything about her really. I would guess that Virgil might've chosen someone on his design team that he highly trusted and relied upon. Not a specific answer but it's a mysterious situation.

^^^ Does it really matter who’s designing?

This brand has always felt and looked like a sloppy Frankenstein’s Monster knock-off of greater brands by some nondescript 3rd-year fashion student— just cleverly tied together into a logo/monogram bow to hustle it as something fresh and innovative for the children, and those desperately-seeking-to-be-down-with-the-children. And that it became wildly successful is admittedly an absolutely admirable business feat, if nothing else. And no better example of this knock-off designer signature than in the classic Gucci monogram design, just revised with “Off-White": This really is the epitome of this brand: Taking from bigger names and designs, and bringing it down to a street level with the logo. Never found it offensive since it’s never been remotely high fashion nor luxe (but the basic suits and trenches here are solid enough— in that department-store in-house designer sensibility).

Without Virgil now, I get the impression that the knock-offs will be even more blatant than ever cuz they know this brand's expiration date is very soon. If they were smart, they’d just find a way to hustle collabs with all the big corporate brands until it’s no longer profitable: Imagine the Prada triangle replacing the 4 arrowheads of his own logo… Fashion victimz would eat that sh!t up.

The menswear is good, cohesion and good tailoring (by this brand standards). Even stronger than the womenswear, which is so all over the place. I can see a few Courreges looks mixed with weired styling.

Don't know if it an original idea, but I like the square studs coats and jackets. And the bubble wrap transparent coats look fun.

I just thought it was Riccardo Tisci by the look of it...

I was just answering their question the best I could. That's all.
