Happy May, darlings. spring has sprung, warmer weather is upon us, and the flowers are in bloom. We hope you have your allergy medication handy for those with a less-than-stellar relationship with pollen.
With all that said, Fashion Reverie is happy to announce the return of “Dippity Don’t Says.” After a glorious sabbatical, we are here to dish dirt and spill tea about what the talk is behind the scenes in fashion. Without further ado, welcome to the season opener.
Bye, bye Birdie
This major designer, who holds two creative director positions at these iconic luxury labels, is rumored to be leaving at least one of them. While his sales results at one of the brands have been stellar, his results at the other brand are lagging. So, he will be leaving to focus on the brand where his designs are performing better. This looks like another round of designer musical chairs.
Moving on up
Speaking of designer musical chairs, this major designer’s contract disputes at this luxury label aren’t looking too good. It’s believed he will potentially go to a historic luxury house, whose ready-to-wear collections have faced heavy criticism, despite their sales remaining up thanks to their cosmetics and fragrances line. It could be a move with soap opera-style implications as they would have to push the current creative director out.
Shame, shame, shame
This top luxury department store has been stiffing many of its independent designers, including several New York-based designers who show on the New York Fashion Week calendar. Once one of the pinnacles of luxury retail in America, they have found themselves in dire straits as of late as they are failing to attract younger consumers. Although lawsuits have not occurred, it is an option, if this retailer doesn’t pay up.
The power and the glory
Amid all the brand merges and acquisitions, this major Italian-fashion house is facing pressure over its plan of succession with its aging creative director stepping down very soon. Unlike many other long-standing household name brands, this one isn’t owned by a conglomerate company, like Louis Vuitton’s parent company LVMH Möet Hennessy Louis Vuitton or Gucci’s parent company Kering. This designer has no kids, but several family members are involved with the company. Could this lead to a primetime TV drama-style fight for control?
