Heard a few votes of disapproval

@@THECASUALco Agreed. Heard plenty actually.

but how is this possible? he doesn't have enough skills. He is not a graduate and has no education in the design sector, a brand like vuitton should give opportunities to brilliant Europeans with a European taste and elegance, no more afros etc ... thanks

Pharrell isn't competent, but him being a major freemasonry puppet will obviously give him accès to such positions.

xperience youtubeeeeu.com/watch?v=O4ywDBedEAw hater but the era of McQueen, Margiela, Galliano an

This is true. But Japan still has a lock on fashion design purity and that’s unlikely to change.

I actually think that P wasn't their first choice. And if both Martine Rose and Grace Wales Bonner turned them down its a huge W. Fuck monopolies

@@quicksilver3263 yeah I also thought about that.. Like what if Rose and Bonner didn't even want the job (or felt they didn't have the time to commit or whatever). Brands can't just pick who they want and then it's law. And some people don't care about getting bigger and bigger, as long as they're doing fine they'd rather do their own thing.

i don't think we should assume this is the case. Unless Martine and Bonner come out and say this we should refrain from creating narratives that make us feel better about our favorite designers and creatives. That's just my take. Plus Wales Bonner and Rose both did collabs with HUGE brands like adidas and Nike respectively. It's not like they don't sign lucrative contracts at all.

@@THECASUALco I'm not creating narratives I'm just thinking there could be a million reasonable reasons they didn't get/accept the job. And committing to a collab is hardly the same as committing to a full time job for years. And people are kinda creating the narrative that LV didn't want them for the job. I'm just making a counter to that 🙃

You are very right my friend. Very right indeed

So basically a British Woman?

They can work under Pharrell and work their way up. That’s what Virgil did when he worked for Kanye. Nothing comes easy.

I don't think this will really change much. At the end of the day, there are only a handful of Luxury houses in an ocean of fashion brands. If working at one of them was the only way to get 'famous' or 'recognised', then it was an impossible game from the start. I think great work will always shine through the cracks. For example, if we take the designers that many feel were overlooked such as Grace Wales Bonner, Martine Rose, Samuel Ross etc - you know who they are! None of them have been CD at a luxury house but you know exactly how exceptional they all are. I really don't think Pharrell stole his job from anyone, and relying on a luxury house to provide you with a platform seems like a losing game to me as a designer anyway.

Been a while I’ve been back in the A. It’s hard to go back. Maybe too much info, but I have a tough memory sitting there. May be a while until I get through it.

Nigo would’ve been fucking sick

Nigo is currently creative director of KENZO

I feel like he already has a lot on his plate with Kenzie and human made

designs youtubeeeeu.com/watch?v=HdmW4D4hMO6 points and makes perfect sense. Think you nailed it

critiquing youtubeeeeu.com/watch?v=XhFpt5yAk33 xcited to see we’re he takes the label. I under stand some

I live in Japan, so when I say west it always means “the western world”. If I mean the west coast I will say “the western United States” or simply “California”

I disagree. Kanye isn't a good designer. He is good at marketing. He is able to create sales. Obviously, that is, what it is about for the owners, but he isn't made for a brand of the size of Louis Vuitton. He is able to sell a couple of things, maybe a a dozen, but that is it. Louis Vuitton is far to big to rely only on him being able to create a hype. Thats all Kanye does, he creates hype, not quality.

Which one of his brands is bigger than YE ? Or even better ? Or even in the same category?

He said he’s been “tapped in longer” not that he’s had more successful brands. But if you really think about it Ye never really had his own brand. He had partnerships. However it is true Pharrell has been in the world a bit longer the Ye.

100% my opinion

Virgil became MAD in 2018. Supreme LV Pt. 1 dropped in 2017. Kim was on his way out. The transition was literally the start of LVs streetwear switch. Virgil had to be a part of those discussions.

Oh… you brought up the hidden story. 😅

Better ask the record labels that actually own her shit. He got some responsibiiitly to take up but get at the labels too

Kelis' net worth is estimated to be $4mil.. I think she'll do fine even though she chose to sign a shitty deal back in the days lol

All good points. I think I just really want to like his stuff but was pissed when I found out about that.

Hot take.. Aspiring artists sign shitty deals because the deal will hook them up with hot producers / writers that can Kickstart their careers and the artist know it's worth it in the long run. And then when the artist get the hit and have a platform, they start crying how they were cheated in to that shitty deal, because they get greedy and want it all.

Where indeed🤫

@@THECASUALco don’t gatekeep! 😅

Hey there mister…

If that was the case he would have got it before Virgil

@@THECASUALco Kanye was the Visionary but Virgil was the Creator. Virgil already was the Fashion Designer that Kanye had to become. Bernard knew that just like you and everybody else should. What Kanye was able to do without Virgil and being the closest to Virgil is what would’ve secured him this spot IF Kanye didn’t let YE get in the way.

That’s what was said. You may be referring to when I said “Creative directors and MADs(Men’s artistic Director)…”

@@THECASUALco “LV has tapped Pharrell Williams as the new artistic director” your own words

Except he does matter as far as putting people in Gen Z on. You may be thinking of collaboration in the traditional sense. This dude literally gives people in Gen Z a platform constantly. All he has to do is employ what he’s always been doing.

You don’t know lmao
