Feels like Chanel executives are trying to push for fast-fashion elements and still rack in haute-couture level of profits. And if yes, it's disgusting.

[@marissashantez6051]

Yes, but it's also not illegal, and not a reason to fire someone.

[@lalayastill610]

their biggest problem isn't PR, it's the fact that their product quality will go down the drain

[@je-suis_Tati]

Respectfully I disagree. May I have been for over 16 years, in over ++++ many handbags, only one C19 I had to send for repair for one stitch on the strap and Chanel complementary did it for me within a reasonable time. I do give you the demand is so high that they over produce some of their bags and maybe that’s why you hear more about Chanel than other brands, because everyone loves Chanel and the demand is there. JMHO

[@AlexHider]

@@je-suis_Tatiyour experience is not universal. I’ve never heard more people beleaguer Chanel’s quality than in the last 5 years

[@Cloudburst2000]

@@je-suis_TatiI respectfully disagree. My friend who is very wealthy (and a total Chanel girl) has refused to buy new Chanel in the last few years because of the decreasing quality. There is an obvious quality difference between her older Chanel bags and her newer ones. I am not a huge Chanel fan but there is a big difference in quality between my older Fendi bags and newer Chanel. I’d say that newer Fendi is nicer than newer Chanel. If Chanel gets rid of all their experienced workers to save money, you better believe that their quality is likely going to see a massive hit.

[@NikiLorensonAndrew]

I totally disagree with this quality statement. I bought my entire collection of 26 bags from 2016-2022 and the quality is great. I never had to fix them, unlike of other brands. I feel like people who do not own their bags keeps saying the quality is bad, because they have no clue what they are talking about.

I left my last job due to toxic work environment. New VP made everyone in my dept feel miserable, caused me to take sick leave. Through a mediator I asked to separate and got my severance. Soon after everyone in my dept quit to. Sorry for the new employees they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. If Virginie was unhappy I’m glad she protected herself and left.

[@manny_0987]

OMG i feel you! I’ve been working for Chanel as a fa and I’ve felt so unhappy… both my boss and colleagues were so mean and the work environment was so toxic… people were passive aggressive and there was a total lack of professionalism and communication… I guess the more skilled you are the worse you feel because they don’t want you to excel and do your best… they want you to do what they want you to do… for people out there: be careful of you want to go and work in this type of environment, it can totally mess up with your mental health

[@celestialblueceleste2511]

This is shocking!!! Haute Couture is NOT fast fashion or American ready to wear! Chanel is the creme de la creme of the luxury fashion houses. If management has been squeezing the "hands" of the house and Virginie, to use inexpensive materials and cut corners to save costs, I can't blame her for walking. The worst thing a luxury fashion house can do is bring in management that has no background in fashion or appreciation for the craft/legacy. Its the kiss of death! This would also explain the recent decline in Quality in Chanel! This could be the first nail in the Chanel coffin if they don't fix this and fix it fast. The fact that the senior ladies of the different ateliers are aligned with Virginie is bad for Chanel. Without the experienced hands of the maison, a couture fashion house is literally dead in the water. France is notorious for its strikes and improving employee rights. A great couture house is NOT an American corporation and cannot be managed like one! None of the other great fashion houses are following this management style. If this is a case of bad management, demanding profits at the expense of quality and pressuring the "hands" that execute the vision like no one else can because of their years of experience, then I say au revoir Lena Nair!! 🇫🇷🗼❤ Vive le France libre!! Bravo Virginie, bravo!!👏👏👏 One last thought, and it needs to be said they would have never done this to a man.

[@qwertyyxoxo]

beautiful comment!

[@periscope7731]

Absolutely agree with your comments. Bullseye🎯Quality control should be paramount at this level of the fashion game. I believe that Anna Wintour has had a front seat to these proceedings. Why else would she have opted to not wear her usual Chanel haute couture to this year’s Met Gala? The pencil pushers and money men, and women, are ruining the luxury goods sector with their insatiable lust for profits, no matter the consequences‼️

[@orianthi_elys]

Well said!

[@barsikac5098]

Do you remember John Galliano? We lost him forever 😢 He is a fashion genius ❤ He made a mistake. He was drunk. He apologized many times. There is no high fashion anymore 😢 They do not care. It is not about fashion art and high quality anymore. It is all about profit😢

Corporate greed to the finest. What a destruction of Chanel’s legacy. Will you be snatching up the last pieces of her designs before whatever-happens-next? Meanwhile, I’m focusing on vintage Chanel hunting ❤

[@catalinaquijano6477]

Hola mi Dacob, you are the only person I trust for this news. I don’t even bother with other KZbinrs discussion. My heart does go out to Les Madames and all Virginie’s loyal colleagues. I know she will be fine but it’s emotionally traumatizing to see your friends, like family, be disregarded by so called upper management. Gracias Dacob for sharing this information and your compassion for the true heartbeat of Chanel / it’s the craftswomen and men who make Chanel, NOT the corporate machine. 🙂‍↕️💖🙏🏽

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Catalina 🙏🏻🥰💖

[@PiggyLovesOllie]

Its crazy that every article I read alleges she was asked to leave rather than her chosing

[@SuperDacob]

Do you think that maybe Chanel wishes to own the narrative in this case? Are they spreading these rumors to safe face? Allegedly?

[@PiggyLovesOllie]

[@marlenepopov8469]

Virginie is no longer an employee of Chanel and could not attend the fashion show without their permission. I doubt the Unilever beach would let her appear at the show.

[@MsLulu-jr4on]

“The Unilever b*tch” 🤣🤣👏👏

[@clau22431]

This is a true point. The other is that if Virginie has self-respect, which I strongly believe she does, she will not appear to the show. It's her creation but ownership is still Chanel and since she is no longer an employee-it's no longer "hers"😊

[@Lusciousdani]

I would love to see her attend. Proudly wearing one of her designs and embellished with a spray painted message. I would like to see them try to remove her forcibly and the type of advocacy her backers would engage in. Perhaps a silent sit in. I’m always an artist, activist and advocate at heart 💜. I believe that artists should never be afraid of expressing themselves otherwise art would be dead.

[@MMM-ii7ce]

They literally let the modern day Coco Chanel out the door 😂

[@SuperDacob]

I feel that way too.

[@carlosillustrates]

When new management enters a well-oiled machine of a workplace, they think the can do things better and more efficient. I’ve seen it in places I’ve worked at and they always fall and stumble bringing everyone else down. The new ceo will not be there for much longer. I wonder if any of this will be in the press? Keep us updated. 😉

[@qwertyyxoxo]

I cannot wait for them to kick out Nair, what a misplaced person to be at the helm of CHANEL, the greatest fashion house in history

[@giannas1096]

I knew this was 100% Leena Nairs doing given her HR background. Allegedly. When a company wants to implement change management sometimes they will hire a CEO who has no loyalty or any relationship with the employees to make these changes. Leena was hired to do exactly this. Allegedly. Virginie jumped ship possibly sooner than they had anticipated so they were not prepared. Allegedly. Once all the changes are made they will remove Leena as CEO. Allegedly. JMO.

[@luluesparza7360]

That CEO is the reason of the downfall of decades old Chanel. Now the person (CEO) responsible for higher prices less quality is known. IMO

[@willowjune24]

Leena Nyaar comes from the Unilever India mindset - cheap labor, cheap chemicals white labeled for home use with no oversight from government bodies over safety. The result is lots of profits for products with slim margins. The Unilever India style of manufacturing and production is all about control and maximizing worker per unit hour utility. Chanel is now no longer Chanel Paris. It is now Chanel India. Good night Karl. Good night Gabriel. Adieu Virginie. Namastay Leena.

[@qwertyyxoxo]

Leena was the worst fit for chanel, she cannot lead the creme de la creme of luxury fashion houses. She knows nothing about haute couture! what a terrible pick

[@Lusciousdani]

I’m seeing a lot of criticism about India and fast fashion but I think it’s worth noting that the work is done for survival. It’s not Indians that are to be blamed. It’s the fashion industrial complex that has sold itself to the devil instead of being proactive in efforts to improve quality for their communities and their products.

[@ArijitBiswasMakeup]

I agree as an Indian. She was never fit for a luxury house.

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I personally don't care if she does her final Chanel Walk or not. What I would like to know is, did she leave because she found out some VERY DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS and said, Hell NO, I'm NOT going to be a part of THIS Mess. Now, if she left because of the pressure of these secrets then I TOTALLY understand why the NDA was 7 inches thick. I don't have NO feelings attached to COCO nor KARL. You can't be that high up and not know what's going on.

[@wb-lr9ig]

Imo nothing will happen to Chanel. This is a 20 billion dollar company. They own a dozen heritage companies that supply the finest materials. Everyone is expendable and replaceable and the public will forget any fights former directors have in 5 minutes no matter what it was about. The public continues to spend outrageous amounts on their products and will continue to do so. We probably will never know the real story anyway.

[@Cloudburst2000]

If they just that much talent in one fell swoop, I worked be very much surprised if it didn’t have a large effect on their quality.

[@elegantbourgeoisie3977]

Exactly. It would take SEVERAL major scandals to even truly taint the image of Chanel and this isn’t one of them.

[@harboraz]

I ❤VViard .. and if the climate was so toxic then good for her that she took care of herself 😘 I ❤ her and wish her all the best 🎉

[@5ftNothing]

If les mesdames in the atelier put down their shears and walked out in support of Virginie is the haute couture collection even finished? In France Chanel management will find it almost impossible to replace those ladies because French people believe and act in solidarity. As for trying to make les mesdames work harder and possibly longer hours that just isn't going to happen. When we lived in France my husband worked a 35 hour week which is standard practice there and had 7 weeks annual leave also the norm. I think Chanel are up **** creek without a paddle 🤨

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you for the intel 5ftNothing! Its good to know these details when we analyze the potential outcomes of this situation. 🥰🙏🏻💖

[@Viviano_Magami]

I think it can finish, if u google Paraffection, u know Chanel has atleast 3 or 4 embroidery atelier. But im not sure if the madams are from the main atelier or subsidiary.

[@SlackSlackSlackSlack]

No 35 hours week is NOT for everybody, 40hrs is, few people actually have the 35h contracts. And holidays are 5 weeks not 7, again, some can have more but 5 is the law.

[@5ftNothing]

[@tuttuttut7758]

This type of stuff still triggers me, even after 8 years. We got a very toxic work environment when new management came in. After a year we all threatened to walk out and we commited mutiny. They left aka were forced out. Unfortunately this wont be the case here. Leena is definately the issue here. Even if this wasnt leaked alledgedly blahblah you could see she was trouble ny the stuff she said in interviews. Everyone who has ever worked for such a toxic moneygrabber just knows 😑

Sad thing is, that is exactly why she was hired. The execs hired her because all they care about is the money at the end of the day…not the people or the quality.

[@b.abouttowwn]

Their quality has been suffering when she was there and will likely continue. Perhaps she disagreed with their skimping on materials/production or overall practices. Who knows. Either way, thanks for keeping us informed! ❤

It sounds like management is the problem at Chanel. They are the ones who should've been fired; CEO, whoever is making these bad decisions, etc.

[@melocoton7]

Walking out just a month before a big show is such a power move, and in such true French IDGAF fashion. You know that's the time when all the gears are in overdrive finishing up designs and pieces. I think that any potential creative director candidate will definitely have a 1:1 with Virginie to know what they are walking into. Which IMO would end in no big industry name to take the job. These creatives have their own professional reputations to protect.

[@crewlworld]

Toxic work environments seem to be a management style/tactic. Employers have no shame sometimes. They think they will get more productivity by making everyone feel job insecurity! But all that happens is high turn over and loss of business reputation.

Great video Dacob! This was super fascinating and sad news. If they are skimping on quality on Haute Couture (allegedly :) ) then absolutely nothing is safe. I really hope Olivier can defend the quality of the fragrances and they somehow reverse this sinking ship. Throughout the history of Chanel I don't think they ever had a lack of quality of their fragrances, reformulations and reinterpretations, sure, but never poor quality. I really hope they wake up and protect their legacy and heritage.

A side note- there's a trend of HR driving companies into the ground lately! HR hired the wrong marketing person at Bud Light who did a campaign completely against the base consumers of Bud Light and those consumers rebelled against the brand, causing multi-billion dollar loses (and counting). This marketing person did not understand the profile of their consumer. Chanel, fashion houses; QUALITY matters immensely, CREATIVITY matters immensely, listening to the base consumers matters.. Chanel hiring upper management who wants to cut costs by laying off seasoned workers who literally make the brand and buy low quality items.. is a disaster! This upper management making these decisions are entirely out of touch of the profile of the consumers and lovers of Chanel, what it means to be a fashion house, Chanel itself.. I wonder how many billions it will cost them!

This, and not to forget that Virginie was Karl's right hand for decades and her ideas were in his designs to some degree too.

[@svatisingh1]

Their strategic decisions are turning Chanel into a first class sweat shop - it's so sad. Karl never had any poverty consciousness about him and yet he was simultaneously not a snob at all - he valued people and he valued time as being the most important luxury in life, and knew that artists need time and the best conditions in order to be creative. He trusted the brand to Virginie - who is superb. You are so right Dacob, it's game over for Chanel - sending love to Virginie, I hope she creates her own brand, I will be a customer for sure.

Wow! If all of this is true Virginie is a real rebel and fighter! I see her from another prospective now and respect even more, and all the ladies in the atelier-also bravo and respect! And I hope Virginie would not appear at the end of the show, it would be a STATEMENT!

[@user-nh8ou4jc7b]

Virginie was picked by Karl Lagerfeld to succeed him for Chanel. Years of artistic experience outweighs cheap labour.

[@justinvo9480]

I will be honest, I stopped buying chanel so much when Virginie was in house because I simply DID NOT like her work. But that with the mixture of Chanel (CEO ) buying cheap materials that China can make better quality didn’t make me happy either. I will be blunt to say that I’m happy so see Virginie leave because I didn’t like her style and her vision. But I’m also happy that she left because she knew what Chanel was doing was not right either.

Who would be the one that is in charge of getting the raw materials?

This needs to go viral

Maison Chanel AI coming to a boutique near you!

[@randis7785]

And now news that Dior has the horrible work environments in Italy too. Are they trying to offer contemporary brand quality, at a luxury brand price? This would explain the inconsistencies in the quality of a lot of recent luxury brands.

You are the best detective. Crazy days going on. Haute couture being done by AI. Poor Viginie. Glad she stood up.

[@Paige49441]

JUICYYY. But so sorry for those working the ateliers if this is true😢

[@SuperDacob]

I agree. Very sorry for the workers.

[@choklatst]

The fashion industry needs to be woke . While thé atelier continues to reap and exploit workers while celebrities cash out from their recent successes and the .1% go to their summer enclaves, we are left in the void of their silence of Miss Virginia untimely demise. Hot 🥵 summer of our discontent.😢

[@OrioleBeagle]

I wonder how long it will be before they have to shut down the haute couture department altogether. Virginie was smart and got off a sinking ship.

[@yesbutno3422]

I can't imagine any designer would be thrilled inheriting an impoverished and denuded House in place of the rich inheritance of talents Karl bequeathed to Big V

[@OMGXSUGARXCOOKIEXX]

Did she quit or did they ask her to resign in exchange for a heavy severance?

[@lauraddddddddd]

One shot for every time you said: "allegedly"

[@moricantos]

Respectfully I don't understand how anyone can defend Viard's tenure at Chanel, her output has been terrible and has coincided perfectly with Chanel's recent drop in prestige and viral social media post poking fun at her questionable creative choices. I honestly had no idea anyone was a fan of her work at Chanel?

[@SuperDacob]

Making fun of Virginie’s designs is one thing. Making fun of her as a human being and laughing at her for the exit from Chanel as if you were happy for her demise is a whole other thing and if you do not understand the difference then I cannot help.

[@themodel05]

I read from the Chanel company statement that they were doing the Haute Couture collection without her and the in-house team was doing it and they weren’t looking for a replacement designer as of so quickly because the company has made billions That was on instagram thru BOF

[@merrywalsh2809]

All the luxury brands are experiencing a downturn. That is when heads roll. The corporate way to let someone go is to give them no notice, and to deliver the news quickly. That is why Virginie came in happy and left quickly. They waited until the collection was finished, then they told her. They may have offered to have her close her show, but she was too upset. She was only ever an interim promotion, but they gave her a chance. I personally did not like her clothes at all, but I know others did. They probably told her that they wished her the best, and would issue a statement that it was a “parting of the ways.” Of course those that worked alongside her for years would be upset, but that does not mean their environment was toxic. Chanel will survive.

[@qwertyyxoxo]

But the collection was not finished...

[@kevinhsu8184]

People have stopped buying those machine made Chanel bags (which don’t keep their resell value) that cost as much as hermes hand made quota bags. Chanel certainly can’t drop their leather goods prices back down. They over-milked this bag cash cow and China isn’t recovering anytime soon to pick up the slack. So heads will roll whether it’s those slow seamstresses which can be replaced by Indians who are just as good and won’t complaint long hours. Tbh, Virginie’s designs were just fair. There will be plenty of talented designers who want this post as it is Chanel after all. I doubt management is worried. Yes, they are in a bind as the haute couture show is happening soon. But throwing some money at this problem will get it resolved one way or the other. I highly doubt they will ask Virginie to come back. That would be the stupidest thing to do.

[@merrywalsh2809]

@@qwertyyxoxo But Dacob said they were tying the final knots. Two weeks before the show, it must have been getting close to being finished, in time for try-ons?

I assumed he meant the final knots for the day, not the collection.
