Simone Bellotti - Designer, Creative Director of Jil Sander

I wouldn’t have picked Simone, but I really just don’t get the push for Daniel. Are we all looking at the same Burberry??? Forget the duds he keeps sending down the runway, from a business point of view, why would someone (over)pay a designer with rapidly collapsing sales at their current role?

I hope Simone does not turn Jil Sander into another "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" fest, as the one he has perpetrated in Bally.

This. I’m kind of getting paglialunga vibes with his announcement, but will have to see how his first collection goes..

Does this mean Daniel is staying at Burberry?

His tailoring is awful, there’s no modernity to his work, and he doesn’t seem to have good taste in materials.

Why? Just why?

I feel the supposed collapsed sales may not necessarily be fair to attribute to Lee 100%. I can vouch that the production team is good, the marketing is good, the designs are good (although may be a little bit too fashiony and ahead of its time and the mismatch between its current clientele` perception and the current look by Lee?).

But I believe if more time is given to Lee and with a little bit more fine tuning of the designs here and there, shutting down of stores, cutting down of costs, Burberry may not be in the shxt hole it is at now.
So to think the guy is untalented because of the `duds he sent down the runway` situation Burberry is at now, I feel, is not entirely fair.
