@Phuel the real question about Chalayan is what his career would have looked like without Alexandre De Betak.
Very skilled man indeed but the success of those collections came from a large part because De Betak was as hungry to succeed to.
For me, he remained one of those « fake showmen » that people liked to compare with Galliano and McQueen when I started my career in fashion. The reality is that you can remove the sets and theatrics from the two others and their work will have that much impact.
I don’t know if Christopher Kane, despite his talent, wouldn’t be seen as an overrated designer with time. Or is he one of those « burned stars » like Miguel Adrover?
