It's already too late, but Hedi Slimane?! His thread is by far the most talked about and controversial

By that metric I think Sabato wins easily. Hedi’s thread has been open for 13 years and has 108 pages of discussion. Sabato’s has been open for less than 2 years and has 90 pages of discussion.

True, but at least Hedi’s collections were well-received and achieved good sales

Based on the work alone, I would say Chemena Kamali.
With one collection, she has put Chloe back on the fashion conversation map. She had some major PR moments and really, the discussion about her was about her work. Not politics, no rumors, not sales, fashion.

I would say that my biggest disappointment is John Galliano because he had the opportunity to really mark the year with his stamp if only the Couture show was materialized by a RTW offering.

I did multiple votes. I voted for Kamali for the reasons you listed. I also voted for Galliano because, even though it didn't especially resonate with me so much, I do think his MM F/W 24 show was the show of the year in terms of public consciousness and influence. I voted for Dries because he left us before we grew tired of him and I voted for Blazy because he scored the #1 gig in fashion (in my not-so-humble opinion, Chanel is The One)

For me Galliano had the collection of the year. It may not be my favorite but it was a very talked about collection (tbh in RTW, Chloé was also a very talked about one but the Margiela PR machine was stronger).

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I fell in love with Galliano with his first collection for Margiela (🤭) and Dries has been always a favorite. And after years of stellar collections, in 2024 they decided both to quit, at the height of their powers.
My vote goes to them.
To quit is the most fashionable gesture.

DEMNA
I see kids in Paris in so much Balenciaga. I never see people in Bottega ( apart from bags, boring) or Michelle's Valentino?!?
