The Shocking END of GUCCI! 😱 Alessandro Michele Leaves GUCCI… or was he Fired? 🛑 

oh dacob, i love the things you hate about alessandro's gucci haha his direction for gucci was such a design renaissance. i love the aloofness he brought. the wealth of art history and historical references he imbued the collections with. i totally felt that the creative energy and people he gathered around himself made being a dreamer so inviting. the carefree, dreamlike, romantic, escapist fantasy, dressing up in your finest clothes and jewels just to have tea with your friends in the garden - i adored it. i love 60s and 70s and i have so many ready to wear pieces, trousers, coats, fashion jewelry, etc. from the six 2018/19 collections. gucci shoes are amazing as well, amazing quality and so long lasting. but yeah, everything after fall 2019 has been repetitive. i love alessandro and i was so sad he left, but i definitely saw it coming. it's the end of an era.

Thank you for saying what’s up with that Burberry logo? Every time I see it I see TB .. like Tory Burch?

Im more of a Ford gal.... dreaming of another Tom gucci era

The TB logo from Burberry is terrible. It looks so cheap.

I love Allesandro Michele though because I love vintage and I love that he's doing his own maximalist thing while everyone else is all about minimalism. I love that it's heavily focused on clothes not just bags, sad to see him go. Of course he can't be compared to Tom Ford but he has also made his trademark in Gucci.

I hope Demna will follow him soon

interesting, he was there a long time, 20+ years perhaps? I associate Gucci with shoes, lol! have many shoes from Gucci that are still perfect from 90's-00's, never bought a bag or slg, stay in the hermes/longchamp lane with a dusting of Vuitton! I love the horse bit and hope they find a way to draw on their heritage

Gucci was on the verge of bankruptcy when Tom Ford became creative director. He was so brilliant that whole period with him was superlative. I particularly loved the look of the low slung velvet pants and jacket, with the Gucci horse-bit belt, but also how he revived the hobo bag so well with various colours and textures. Ford hates brown and he reduced the production of brown items to an absolute minimum. He's achieved so much in his life no wonder he sold his own label after the death of his partner Richard Buckley (who was a well known fashion writer and journalist. This was also after successfully writing and directing two feature films. His partner Richard was very wise and kept his feet on the ground, particularly about fame and how ephemeral the fashion world is. 'Now, Ford, 60 (in 2021), is sharing how he has adjusted to life without Buckley. "It's been hard after 35 years, very hard," he told WSJ. "I keep thinking, 'Oh, God, I have to call Richard,' or I need to send him a note about this. And he's not here." ' And also: "If the person you're with is someone you respect, who you believe has a great heart and a great soul, as good a heart and soul that you will ever find, don't ever leave them," Ford added, "because you won't find anyone better." - from People magazine Published on December 1, 2021.

There are very few designers who can keep up with the pace of ever changing fashion trends demanded of them . Some think they can get away with being boring by using the old chanel 'style is better than fashion' excuse . To be fair it must get like mental drudgery having to come up with something new every 3 months. Not everybody can be at Karl Lagerfeld or Miuccia Prada level..

The lady from Moschino before JS was Rossella Jardini

Alessandro Michele was never my cup of tea. I thought the clothes were uninspired and the way they were styled on the runway with those emaciated teen models was very corny. Also, every collection ran together, like one loooooong season. I could not for the life of me look at an item of clothing and pinpoint what collection its from. Sorry, but I think there's something to be said for seasonality in fashion. I don't think much of his Gucci will be collectable in the way that Tom Ford's Gucci was. But god dammit, those campaigns were MAGNIFICENT! Always the highlight of the campaign season.

I feel quite sad at this review . Usually I like your videos. Too much nastiness about AM for me. He has done a lot for us folk who are not into minimalism and boring Luxury, the people who are not traditionally beautiful. I agree it’s a little repetitive after 2019 ,but I still prefer anything he designed rather than say a bin bag from balenciaga or a tacky egg on a heel from loweve. Yawn . I feel sad to see him leave . If you’re a maximalist and a 70s lover you get it . Not sure it’s necessary to say those nasty things just because it wasn’t your personal style . Figures hadn’t dropped last year ,just not grown as much as greedy kering would like. Let’s hope AM starts his own brand for us misfits and eccentric folk . Have a nice day.

It sounds like Kering has the LV/Chanel level ambition for Gucci (15 bil revenue is not easy) but Michele was unwilling/unable to change his direction to fill the brief. I have a few of his shoes for Gucci but got tired of his gimmicks. I can see him at Etro, Missoni, or even Pucci or Marni but honestly do people care about creative directors anymore? It's in the companies' best interest to keep CDs' ego in check so they can be puppets for cash and growth. Also, let this serve as another cautionary tale for potential candidates: a Kering relationship never ends well for anyone involved (just ask Yves, Tom, Pilati, Lee, Hedi, Nicolas, Daniel, and ...Demna?)

I 100% agree with you Dacob Addams 😉 Since Alessandro took over, I lost all interested. Frida was okay, but not for me either. I wish we could get Tom Ford back. Give it rock n roll and SEX back!! Remember the GG shaved on the models woha? That was so trash, but so good. It made people look and actually have an opinion, good or bad. That I miss. Gucci from 97 to when Tom left, was and is the best. If they took Tom Ford back to Gucci, could he bring back the magic? If he comes back, I pray he will rerelease Envy perfume (for women or whatever..we wear what we love) I miss that one. Let's see what will happen at Gucci. Please no more Instagram designers

So many changes happening at Kering!

My attitude is never to tear down anyone who is creating something. It’s easy to be critical when you haven’t personally taken on the challenge of creating. Making anything -be it art, fashion, or music and presenting it to the world is a vulnerable place to be. Kindness would be an appropriate response. If you don’t like someone’s work, let that be motivation to create your own work!

Michele created great designs for gucci but I think as the years went on it became repetitive. And imo, what really made it boring now are the collabs. They stink! All the logomania especially the ones with Balenciaga. Out of all the designers, and this is not Gucci related, imo it's Phoebe Philo who made such an indelible almost untouchable mark in the industry, and she left on her own time.

Frida Giannini was the previous stilista

🔥In the next few weeks, I believe we will see some very huge changes in the fashion industry….with Balenciaga going down so will all associated with them. When you know you know! Love your channel Dacob! You are always such a breath of fresh air my darling…..❤🔥🙏

As a Gucci lover, I stopped buying Gucci about a year ago because it was not serving what it was supposed to be serving with any consistency. I needed that BAM factor and to me it was like reheating the same old food.

Gucci needs to revamp its image. Here in Japan, Gucci = little kids with no taste. The brand is not associated with Luxury. I think their design is fine but they need to target the right audience. Their customer base ruined their image

2:43. Guurrrrrllll Prreeeaachhh !!!!!🤣😆🤣😆

Wait! Tom Ford sold his empire? Zoinks!!! Now what???

I want givenchy is end. It’s a travesty. Thank you for mentioning this!!

Tisci’s label would be called “who killed Bambi?”

2019-2022 LV ready to wear looks like it was trying to imitate GG…

The resale value for Gucci is always in the dumpster.

5:09 👣 🧀 🤢🤮 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

When he came out on the scene after boring and lame Frieda I was a fan…. But now I’m like “meh.” With that said, I wasn’t for that racial drama. And I’m pro Old school store design Gold logo on black with the red carpet … way better than the pink,flowery stores as they are now

Hey @superdacob, your black & white button down shirt in this video reminds me of the vintage rockabilly Versace collection that came out about 10 years ago. Is that where your shirt was from? That was such a classic collection and I absolutely loved every piece. Do you remember that collection?

Sooo glad for new changes at Gucci. The clothes are sooooo ugly!!

i bought a lot of Gucci in the last couple of years. I love the clothes which have been so different. the balenciaga/ gucci collab made me pause and then the Adidas collaboration just made me vomit. i hated looking at it because i kept on thinking i am being scammed. whoever decided to collaborate with Adidas should be fired.

vuitton -___-

Yeah no offence to Sarah Burton

You remind me of a young handsome isabella rossellini. Please don’t take this wrong, i always found her face flawless and fabulous. ❤

I just subscribed. I think you’re marvelous.

Interesting question, I actually like the moschino brand more than Gucci in recent years.

@1:15 great minds think alike.... TF sold, I was thinking wouldn't that be the gag of all gags if Tom came back to Gucci!

In too old for fashion... Or fashion Is too kiddosh for over 15? We must go back elegante and Shure ... Avanguardia. But stop sell Toys...

1:50 Oh Wow !!!! Finally some one speaks the truth about Allesandro and his direction for Gucci. I wish I would have found your channel sooner. 😄

Allegedly! he has/had also an interesting insta posts... A bit similar to the lady that used to work for the spanish brand and the scandal we recently discussed... Both comp are owned by K.

Yeah, mens fadings haircut gots to go, it overstayed it's welcum. Long hair is glamorous and rock n roll, the best of both worlds ❤❤

Mr Peanut and Cheese feet! 😂🥜🧀🦶💖

Not stinky cheese feet vibes, Dacob!! 🤣🤣

Yeah I guess stagnation is bad for a brand director

Tisci is too flamboyant for Givenchy and Burberry. Who even thought it could be a good idea. The vibe is so different. Also. Do not touch my Fendi! No wild changes please😂

❤

In light of the dirty reveal of the chairman of Gucci and Balenciaga’s chairman Francois-Henri Pinault I think these changes have NOTHING to do with his impact on Gucci sales or creativity.

You are the best.....love this channel 👌

Off with the chopped heads😱 Great video as always!

Love your comments about Alessandro and Gucci...i also love Firda and she does sell but at the end..just like Alessandro, stagnant. Alessandro's first season was big change of nuance and aesthetic he comes in perfect time for new generation...but years after years people see something similiar and get bored.

He left to escape the same backlash that Balenciaga and Kering got. It is a rabbit hole!

while everyone was shocked at this news, i was rejoicing😂 I don’t think i bought any Gucci items since Frida left🤔 Frida was doing good & selling well for working women, she did great classic pants etc Please not Marc Jacobs or Maria Grazia at Fendi🫠
