Which labels respect their founders' legacies and which don't? A deep dive!

Not ONE mention of Lindsay on Ungaro website. Absolute disgrace.

The fact that you went to check on Ungaro’s website is hilarious lol.

With all the revolving doors there, I wonder if any successor is mentioned. Maybe Giambattista Valli? He was after all chosen by Emanuel Ungaro and had an admirable run.

Literally nobody is mentioned except Ungaro himself. At least Lindsay was famous. The likes of Esteban Cortazar (I know, WHO?) and Estella whatsherface is just dire.

disappointed this thread is more about the websites than the products pushed out by the brands

That would make a fascinating (and neverending) thread I'm sure, but I was interested in discussing it from a digital / website perspective on this thread. Maybe I should have made it more clear in the title :/

Poor Gianni! I did find a tiny mention of his name at the very bottom left corner. Great tribute!

I’ve been trying to think if any label really respects their founders legacy and the answer is none. Think about it. Dior, Balmain, Givenchy, etc huge amounts of floral prints and beaded and FITTED clothes when they were there. None of this slouchy, relaxed, logo driven mass manufacturing drivel that the companies pop out. I’m sure most of these designers would absolutely hate what has happened to their legacies. Poor Balenciaga, what that last idiot did to the brand is unforgivable and now he has been allowed to do another mess at Gucci. Chanel would have hated a lot of stuff going on. We forget that these people didn’t for the most part want to dress everyone only a select few. The dream of real exclusivity is over for them. Now in my own opinion that’s not at all bad in its entirety but these businesses really need to reel it in. Stop with the streetwear, it’s doing nothing but losing the aspirational. The name or logo doesn’t need to appear on everything. It would be nice if these big conglomerates would invest as heavily in new and upcoming designers as they focus on churning out 20 different t shirts with a logo on them.

I think the title should’ve just said acknowledge instead of respect
