Am I right in thinking that designers who applied for the Chanel creative director position had to produce a collection as part of the interview process?

Ralph & Russo x Giambattista Valli

 

[MModa]

Stunning! For women who love elegance and want to be seen and admired.

Why is it all evening gowns? Did I miss something? Not one piece of tailoring, or knitwear, or pair of trousers, or anything other than gowns?

Chanel by Karl for those who can't afford it. I am impressed that he didn't go bankrupt.

 

[WAVES]

that bloody white flower (camellia?…) and bow on every other gown is sooooo tiresome.
they are cute gowns but that’s pretty much it, IMO

 

[TianCouture]

Honestly, you cannot fault him. It's a gorgeous collection almost flawless in it's execution. That navy gown with the floral embroidery, the lavender against the black, the mint green gown, the harlequin dress. Really just quite gorgeous.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I think the only "objective" mistake here ( it happens in three different gowns) is the flower placed in the crotch.
To my taste, I would erase ninety percent of the bows and flowers.

It is a well executed collection but it leaves me cold.

Is this not the fall winter collection? They all are starting to look the same…

 

[GERGIN]

This show is just as tiring as Naomi Campbells modelling career.

 

[Alquimista]

Cyborg Naomi at it again 🤖

 

[jeanclaude]

He is becoming an english version of Zuhair Murad. Chanel with his "signature" horrible flower prints...

 

[Squizree]

It really is poor man's Lagerfeld, but Karl's quality was so immaculate that even that is a compliment.

I think it's beautiful. I think this kinda aesthetic demands only the best of workmanship, and he...mostly has it.

 

[jeremydante]

Hella brides. Is that well suited for his customer?
His concepts used to be interesting. Then things just dipped.

Agreeing with @Blayne266 that it seems like quite a few applicants had to produce a collection; and that, in not getting the role, they felt that the collections they produced should still see the light of day. Because those black and white moments could be interpretted as Chanel at some scale, for sure. Same goes for Jacquemus' last collection too, felt that with how purified his last collection was. I know y'all are not into Jacquemus so lemme be quiet with all that. haha

 

[carla56]

It’s a better Chanel couture collection than almost every Chanel couture show we’ve seen since Karl passed!

 

[TurkicMongol]

Can someone tell him the Chanel job has been taken? I would suggest him begin auditioning for Dior!

 

[Isami]

Yes.

He must be reading Blazy's thread from this forum! Otherwise, there is no way he has been campaigning for at least two seasons.

If Blazy does not work out, Chanel can use him , the gowns are wonderful ngl
