Phoebe Philo Doesn't Care What You Think 

You don’t understand what they mean by storytelling, but it is funny that you think you found a loophole in the logic of one the most intelligent fashion designers of our times and one of the most prolific fashion journalists. Good job, sweetie 🤣

What you are witnessing is a designer who designs first. Much of fashion now , and honestly for quite sometime, has been about marketing. Marketing is telling a story. Marketing is creating a connection. Madam Phobe is simply designing beautiful pieces. The collection just so happens to be incredibly marketable.

@@themarquis336 this is a very flawed argument. You think fashion designers invented storytelling ? She can definitely have her own view on what storytelling is, that’s fine. But remember, when you’ll be talking about this collection to the people around you, dont use a character and a context. You dont design out of thine air. Great designers tell stories through products no matter how you try to twist and turn it. Now if we are talking about storytelling in a sense of very theatrical worlds in which a character goes through different stages etc etc then I understand you but note, Madame Philo’s brand is Phoebe Philo, the brand equates to her, in this sense to her own story, so i can beleive that we are buying her clothes due to her story ? Right, would the commercial success be the same if the same clothes were designed by SpongeBob under the BikiniBottom Label ? she is design first yes, but with a certain idea and story in mind, why is she making this types of clothes and not other, why under this particular label that holds wait and strongly correlates to the type of clothes_products being made. I never said the journalist was wrong, THEY ARE NOT,always makes very valid points, I’m trying to discuss with them, nor did I say that Phoebe Philo is not making sense, I’m just pointing out the fact that even if the storytelling aspect might not be the initial focus and starting point of the reflection behind these collections-products, It is present and very clear once you look at the outcome. So no point in acting like a the angel Michael, either ask me what I meant about what I typed so we can continue the discussion or go about your day if you dont want to have a conversation, no one was forcing you to reply.

Im still confused, whch one is his original name and which one is his label name!? wikipedia mentioned three

@@Viviano_Magami "Mr. Leroux was born Hervé Peugnet on May 30, 1957, in Bapaume, in northern France. He studied sculpture and art history at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris before dropping out to become a hairstylist and milliner. In 1981 he met Karl Lagerfeld, who encouraged him to pursue fashion design. He changed his surname for the first time after Mr. Lagerfeld advised him that Peugnet would be too difficult for Americans, the target market, to pronounce. He suggested Léger, liking the allusion to lightness, for which the French word is légèreté. Mr. Leroux, now working under the name Léger, worked alongside Mr. Lagerfeld at Fendi and later at Chanel and freelanced at Lanvin and Diane von Furstenberg before introducing his own boutique, Hervé Léger, in 1984. A fashion line with the new name soon followed, and then came the inception of the bandage dress." - from a NYT article on him

@@Viviano_Magami His original name was Herve Peugnet (he was a hairdresser). He used Herve Leger as his label name but then that name was sold to Max Azaria but he was fired a year after the sale so he had to find a new name/label, hence Leroux.

That’s Uniqlo

Heyy!

That take is just as lacking in nuance as those who say women’s clothing can’t be both sexy and empowering. Not even a big fan of the row but that’s a poor understanding of what they’re doing.

Also no need to call out another brand in order to validate your point

you call that "storytelling"??? Thats called manufacturing!! SMH
