Sabato De Sarno - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

I wonder what KING KARL would have thought of Virginie's CHANEL tenure, Kim's Fendi and Sabato.
He would have probably roasted all of them and turn into a vampire to stop Virginie's approving branded CC logo basic stuff.

Why would he be nasty to VV? I mean, he’d probably wonder why they kept her on as CD when she just wasn’t suited towards it. He obviously liked her, but I highly doubt he imagined that she’d replace him.

Karl even at his lowest was miles better than Virginie. He could be experimental, artistic and commercial, he had the range and skill. When you create hundreds of collections, there will always be few that are weaker.

I love love KL but i am also fair to his shortcomings as a masterful creative designer, i like that VV respectfully did what she could and was successful with it , Ancora wish to have 1 % of VV success at Chanel at Gucci.

It's not comparable. Chanel is a brand that will always sell well. Even Sabato with his department store sensibility would make good numbers at Chanel.

For me, you are successful at Chanel if you manage to create a moment, something memorable. Virginie couldn't do that.

we can agree to disagree on all above :-)
KL did some ugly things as much as VV pieces or collections both.

VV i literally wrote she respectfully did what she could means: Kl creativity and aura etc is superior as a creative and its not even about comparing..... they both were creative directors at Chanel with different type of success no matter how we see it as what is more valuable as success its the fact they both had success in their own ways at Chanel.

Ancora cant make good nummers not even at Zara that hoe bland and pint less his design is.

Chanel did not always sell well they had bad years with KL as well (even when numbers were 100% private and currently i know the have some issues with sales numbers as well following to many price increases.

no brand is bullet proof, that's why they took their time to find a Creative Director time is ticking on what has been built so far wont last with out new ideas or vision to feed the machine.

even hermes has issues and reliance on selling other less wanted product to get quota bags offers ,

all factual stuff knowing from people working inside these companies.

the gloss on the outside always hides cracks underneath. (with in these brands)
