Olivier Rousteing - Designer

and I just knew it was picked by Ye.

and pretty much how we all knew that was a lavender marriage.😶‍🌫️

I can't believe it's been 14-16 years already.. he could have a future at Elie Saab, but I hope he takes a break.. that's a long time for anyone in any job without a sabbatical (lol).

.. also.. why are we using the worst bottom-feeders as reliable industry sources? (aka. that Pisano guy).

100% agree with this. Wasn't he at Cavalli before, also ? I think that with the proper stylist and team and him diving into the archives of Gianni, he'd be capable. Moreso than Tisci, I feel Versace is fit for him. Olivier was obsessed with the time that Karl was into Gianni's work so it is a bit circular, but I also feel he'd throw in some more tame and minimalist sensibilities with the right stylist. His last work at Balmain was more minimal.

So is this effective immediately, or will he do a final proper show ?

Yes he was at Cavalli. So he is used to dramatic Italian people running the show.

He is capable. The look I posted is the proof that he can do chic, sexy and modern. Even his last collection. Those aren’t clothes that will look dated in 10 years.

But he needs a good team, a good stylist.
When Zanotti stopped doing the shoes, the footwear became atrocious. There are enough great bag designers at Prada to have them switch over at Versace.

The hobo bags from his last show were good too btw.
Next sale season, I’m going to get something Balmain. I like him but not that much to buy full retail.

But yes, the Gianni/Karl connection seems obvious even though I find those Chanel references tired.

I think Prefall 2026 will likely be his last collection. But SS2026 was surely his last show.
He deserved a farewell though. He has been there since 2009.

It was love though. I just watched Kim on Call her Daddy, when she talked about Ye she seems sad still.

Oh from her to him, totally. The other way around?....😬

But he was sweet in a way no other straight man can. Remember his birthday gifts? A hologram of her dad telling her how proud he was? I sobbed and sobbed.
