Virginie Viard - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

Seriously, would Hedi even allow couture to make anything larger than a size 2? Sad Alber is gone.

Well this is a part of the fashion game will she be missed??? Honestly I think that cannes was the nail in the coffin.

Alber was a rumored to do it around 2005 I believe and it's a shame because he would have been perfect, so French so chic so romantic he would have had a blast.

Waiting for that “Who’s Next At Chanel?” thread…🧐🧐

Finally the frumpy years are over. Hedi just do it!

 

[FashionFanatico]

it was about time. Enjoy your retirment! It makes me wonder whether clients will even bother buying the next few collections she designed. I imagine VV designs will tank and Karl’s will be even more in demand than ever. And prices will skyrock.

I just called Anna, she said it's gonna be Marc Jacobs, feat Rihanna

So seems like the Wertheimers still know her design is not good even the number is impressive, I mean Chanel not open the comment on youtube anymore, they know

Hedi at Chanel will single handedly revive the global economy.

Chanel Homme will probably break Visa and Mastercards payment processing ability.

I'm not gonna lie...The idea of Chanel Homme by Hedi makes me cream.

I don't know who could go there either because to ME Chanel is somewhere you'll go to spend the rest of your life. With Karl's legacy it is the top of the top. There can be no revolving door circus like everywhere else. It will be an immutable decision.

I’ve advocated for Hedi for a long time now. More than any other designer working now, what I think he’d be able to do for Chanel now is make it feel expensive again. And that is something that Chanel really needs.

Karl’s Chanel felt luxe for a long time - especially in the late 90’s and early 00’s. But by about 2010, his Chanel got pretty corny and goofy, but it worked because, well, Karl was Karl.

But without the cache of Karl at the helm, everything started to feel pretty cheap. The stores all desperately need a redesign, the campaigns have long been forgettable, the fragrance marketing needs to be polished, and clearly the clothes need refinement.

Hedi can do all that and more. He’s one of the only designers left out there with the capacity, conviction and discipline to be able to handle being in charge of all aspects of a brand this big.

Phoebe Philo.

Ugh no. Chanel needs a fun designer and she’s way past that since her Chloé years.

 

[TianCouture]

Hedi doing the press and the big shows and the yada-yada of it all — I just don't see it happening
If you think Sarah Burton please check into a mental institute as soon as possible.

Oh, there can be... just what happened between Coco and Karl's years. I think the next designer who'll be SUCCESSFUL at Chanel will be someone who can turn Karl's "codes" on their head, just as much as he did with Coco's. Make him roll in his grave a bit.

Hedi would work at Chanel, insofar that most of their offerings lately look like Claire's for the children of millionaires.

I'm thinking in reality the clothing alone it might not be great as they say it is those numbers were disastrous would love to see that spreadsheet
