For all its flaws its still better than Sabato's Gucci.

But this is such a low bar.

This is kind of becoming your catchphrase...

Why can’t design better than our friend at Gucci is the real question. Harris Reed?

If one's output for two brands as different as Gucci and Valentino looks this similar, then that means the person in question is simply doing what they know and want to do, and it may sell well for a while, but brand-specific it is not.

Conversely, anyone who wasn’t mentally ill or comatose knew that, by hiring Alessandro Michele, this was exactly what Valentino was going to get. So Mayhoola had to have wanted this Biba-on-mescaline nightmare because they actively sought this guy out and hired him.

Mayhoola doesn’t want Valentino. Mayhoola wants the Michele Disco Macramé Sad Clown Peyote Caravan, and they’re getting it — good and hard.
