She is leaving Chanel and everyone is really happy about it  

I was going to disagree, because there are many examples of artistic directors improving upon already-established brands. And then I reread your comment, and you’re right. These newer directors seem very aware of marketing and brand awareness, but it feels so hollow and corporate. Fashion is art and it’s supposed to send a message. I can still find art in couture, but I remember when ready-to-wear was exciting. Fast fashion (capitalism) and social media (also capitalism) really destroy innovation and art for the sake of art.

Exactly right !

YES! The true fashion DESIGNERS have passed and in turn, all we have are greedy, money and fame seeking imitators.

That's a weird comment to make considering Karl lagerfeld himself said Gabrielle chanel would've hated what he did with her brand. And yet he did complete magic with it. Chanel was sinking before karl took over

​@@LauraOfTheValleyuhh, have you already managed to forget the Maison Margiela fashion show with the porcelain doll skin? Sure, the legalcy brand owners are dead but good designers are very much still around

well why would they buy the stuff they dislike? on top of how tons of people with money will buy a lot of ugly stuff just because they can and the brands are status symbol 🤷‍♀️

It matters what the public thinks tho. Many people with money do buy things that are highly sought after to establish their wealth, so If people love a brand, it increases the desire and prestige attached to the brand.

​@@diangelosOne thing is the right of buyers to buy or not and a very different one to imply that those buyers we're talking about here, didn't do it because the collections are "ugly stuff". Perhaps you and other people dislike her work but this fact doest make your definition true and by no means should it be call it ugly. Pears and oranges ..

Probably the buyers are pressurized to wear an expensive brand no matter whether they like it or not. At the end of the day they should be seen wearing expensive brands to showcase their identity

The quality is non existent now

So what is talented standing for?

@@bengigi7337 look, talented designer does not mean that that person is right for the position of creative director of a certain brand. Have you seen Demna of Balenciaga? He is talented. But his designs are definitely not Balenciaga, yes it has unique silhouette which's Balenciaga selling point, but have you seen how different (and not in a good way) his designs are compare to Cristobal? The same thing goes for Karl and Virginie. Both of them are talented, especially Karl, for he has been in the industry for so many years and even have been serving in Balmain before. But I can definitely say that Karl definitely does not embody Chanel. Chanel was old, stiff, and Gabrielle herself even despise pop culture and trends. Remember that Chanel was in the bring of ruin before Karl came in. And what does Karl brought to Chanel if not those two? As for Virginie, she's a mess. I can see her torn between Chanel's stiff and classic sense of fashion and Karl's sense of modernism. That's why you see her designs and styling a lotta mess. What you see in Chanel and what people loved in Chanel is not Gabrielle, but Karl. People back then despise Chanel, simply because Gabrielle was so old-fashioned, and not to mention, she's a n*zi spy.

To be fair, Coco Chanel was more of a businesswoman herself and she'd probably not be into Karl. She was not a nice person and stole designs, she made it because she was smart in doing business. She was also a spy for Nazis just to protect her own personal interests. This person was glorified and praised when I was studying fashion but in reality she's more of a Thomas Edison instead of Nikola Tesla...

Is Chanel was alive she’s be a neo-Nazi so plz stop

I mean Covo Chanel was a literal nazi so I think shed have more than a few issues with modern chanel. Thankfully I dont care about a dead nazis opinion

I didnt see obe bad design

Watch an entire show and you'll see plenty of bad designs Although yes I agree it doesn't mean she isn't talented, it just wasn't a right fit

Her successor is from hr…I’m not holding my breath

@@adriennethiery5432from where?!?!

I think Piccioli is a successor. We will see.

This!!!! Tacky is the perfect word.

Yes! I never understood the appeal with KL. Plus there are rumors he was a pedophile 🤢

I noticed Vittoria’s face. It said a lot without words.

Exactly 😅

Thank you so much, sis! 🩷 You're the sweetest! ILYSM! 🥰 Keep being amazing! #sistersforever #thefashionchick #sisterslove 🫶✨

Is this your alt account? 😂

​@@TheWholeEntireCake that's a good point 😂

😮 or it was her work all along?

That dress is to be burnt. That’s not good. The Dress ugly and are her collection. She’s good to write a tip book on how to make basic fashion luxury clothes 101

She’s derivative and doesn’t represent what Chanel stood for. Chanel was an innovator and relied on minimalist luxury. The rehashed tweeds, and tacky Karl leftovers have made the label staid and banal. It’s not deep, she’s making grandma clothes

😂

The only comment I can relate to. 😅

💯

Yes 👌💯👍 that was absolutely Gigi

@@scorbunny7737 Do you know which runway is? Her walk was so good there
