Happy fall, everyone! We hope you’ve organized your fall jackets and are enjoying warm apple cider or pumpkin spice. On top of that, spooky season is here, so it’s time to start planning those Halloween costumes and getting ready to play dress up. If warm apple cider isn’t your thing, don’t worry. Fashion Reverie is here to serve some piping hot tea to help you ring in the fall. With Fashion Month only wrapping up, there’s a lot to say.
Another one bites the dust
This major Italian luxury brand owned by this luxury conglomerate is poised to announce a new creative director after their current creative director, with less than stellar ready-to-wear designs, has failed to generate comparative sales of the other brands in this company’s portfolio. Their alleged new creative director recently spearheaded this other major luxury brand well known for their couture shows and dressing an endless list of celebrities. It’s expected that this new creative director will bring that same flavor and excitement to this storied fashion house that was family-founded in the 1920s.
Who will it be?
Also among the latest round of designer musical chairs is the announcement of who will become the creative director of this legacy French brand. Since their previous creative director departed in May, there has been speculation about who will fill one of the biggest fashion jobs in the world. It’s rumored the person taking over is a well-known designer who has a particular penchant for Celsius energy drinks.
While this designer is a known choice, he is a bit of a one-trick pony, often bringing his same aesthetic to every brand. Let’s see what he does with this brand if he is formally announced as the brand’s creative director.
Pull it back!!
As this British heritage label continues to struggle with sales, the powers that be at the company have ordered its creative director to reign in his more boundary-pushing designs. The result was a more subdued collection at London Fashion Week, and editors and fashion critics took notice.
The designer in question is reportedly taking this approach to ensure his job is safe, and he can turn sales around with a new leadership team in place. With the way designers are in and out of creative director roles nowadays, he’s smart to play his cards safe.
Discipline needed
The announcement of this creative director, also known for his eponymous brand, had fashion-industry professionals excited, but those who have worked with him are weary of his ability to spearhead such a major fashion house.
The designer in question is known for lacking a sense of professionalism, showing up grossly late to work, and letting his business falter. Perhaps with other powers that be overseeing him, he’ll be a little more behaved, but if he brings his past behavior to his new job, he can’t expect to last long.
