What is Happening to DIOR & LOEWE?

[@markjohnson2257]

I like MGC at Dior and l also liked Virginie V at Chanel. Their shows may be underwhelming but when you see the clothes in person, they are beautiful. They both design for the PAYING clients who want consistent and reliable clothing. They are not pandering to the hypebae internet critics. Why is it so wrong to design clothing for real, paying clients who don't want clothing that drastically changes every 6 months. Both designers have plenty of shoes, bags, and other accessories for the trendy crowd.

[@MarysRoom]

So true! I think so much of fashion commentary is focused on what is on the runway vs how the clothes exist in real time and in real life. Great points❤❤❤

[@Viviano_Magami]

Well, majority of "fashion influencer" who critics both mgc and vv are men.. they still cant move on from galliano, it only good for display bc majority of regular woman dont want to wear those ridiculous dress.

[@krschn7673]

i know there's free speech. but yours is a weird take.

[@BreonaMcQueen]

THIS! Well said👏🏾

[@PhamLeAnhQuan_]

Honestly that could be said for the clothes made by H&M or Uniqlo, they are beautiful and look like clothes. Whats the point of putting out 2 collection every year if what you're going for is reliable clothes, you don't need to force a runway show to sell clothes that'll last for years, at that point theres no need to tell any story. Hermes is probably the best example of a heritage brand that put on good runway designs AND products, and the CD is a brilliant woman too.

[@alvaro7even]

I can't imagine Loewe without Jonathan Anderson. The fact that he might leave the house makes me anxious cause there're many pieces from his time at Loewe that I dream of and that are going to stop being produced or become more difficult to acquire (crying in poor).

[@MarysRoom]

Ughh yeah such an annoying part of these creative director musical chairs. Hope maybe you can find those pieces you want on discount. Thank you for watching!

[@pumpkindiamond994]

Is that the reason why he was sad at his recent fashion show?

[@dlucas5230]

May have to stick with buying from his JW Anderson brand 🥺

[@newyorktolondon]

Can we talk about Anna for a second... I respect her body of work but it's time for her to retire. Vogue needs to innovate.

[@petermartin2924]

I look forward to Edward taking over and making US Vogue worth reading

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you for your perspective!

[@pureounce.9184]

Similar to Viard, MGC may profitable today but often times today isn't good enough for these huge conglomerates. They want to see young customers falling for a brand and desiring and buying the work and thus cementing future sales for years to come. They want profitable today and even more profitable tomorrow, and I'm not entirely sure MGC - with her eye for making practical, purchasable clothing for today's mature woman - can promise that.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes good point about luxury conglomerates wanting young customers to "fall for the brand". Thank you for your perspective!

[@mtrobinmtrobin]

Dior needs help. MGC has betrayed her own ethics with the last collection. LVMH is not going to play around with market failure and lack of inspiration. Agree. No credibility on the supply chain.

[@MarysRoom]

I think she was just doing what has been commercially demanded of her. But Dior will have to announce that they are making changes as its one of their major houses and its flopping right now bc of the business demands

[@4bkb]

Galliano is good where he is at... Margiela and his own Label.

[@annabarr1304]

What if Galliano saved Burberry

[@Mosesinmusic]

@@annabarr1304😍

[@4bkb]

@@annabarr1304 A complete NO

[@MarysRoom]

I think he's great there but he could also be at a bigger house

[@PabloLopez-xq9st]

Galliano is not the owner of any label

[@NIGELNOTRENDS]

JW could actually work well at Dior balancing his love of art with commercial hits; something Raf struggled with during his time there

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh interesting comparison between JW and Raf. I def think JW is very strategic with his collabs and reaching new audiences. Thank you for watching!

[@annabarr1304]

My wishlist: Anderson at Dior, Chiotse Abe at Loewe, Galliano saves Burberry, and Glenn Martens at Margiela.

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh would be fascinating to see!!

[@semanova]

Amazing video, very informative, thank you!!

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@anyavanwyk]

If this is true, who do you think would be the best person for Loewe (a brand I'm obsessed with)? I love Jonathan Anderson's Loewe but I can imagine that he would do great work at Dior!

[@MarysRoom]

Someone willing to be experimental, Chitose Abe or Hodakova come to mind

[@214dior]

I don’t know about you guys, but I really feel like Kanye West would do great at Loewe I know mentally he’s a little off his rocker, so it probably won’t happen, but I could definitely see some dope pieces coming from him with that amount of backing and creativity freedom

[@MarysRoom]

[@Mia-gp6hz]

Great analysis!

[@lghooked3917]

Mary you are my favorite fashion vlog. You are so precise do you remember that Karl wanted Hedi for Chanel he adored him could you do a breakdown on that point?

[@Bluewaters24]

Love Dior 💖

[@CarolineNedwab]

L😅ve this channel🎉

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you for wtaching❤

[@alexanderpons9246]

Interesting your perspective, time will show how this all will work out with these Brands! On one hand Ana Wintour is almost out and what we all don't know is besides the sales by the masses on all the Brands what are the TRUE chore Customers of them all are reacting to.

[@MarysRoom]

Great points!! Thank you for watching!

[@AmericanDreamerX]

Could Maria Grazia's reason for being sent away be because she always harmonizes her inspiration with the theme of feminism in every show? Karl Lagerfeld, for example, didn't have such an obsession. He did a Dallas-themed show because Jackie Kennedy had a pink tweed Chanel suit, but he didn't do it because a woman did it 🤔 Perhaps Bernard Arnault has started to find this feminism thing boring and has other plans for the Dior brand he excitedly bought 😎

[@MarysRoom]

I think it has to do with the Dior the scandal and for many customers the brand is cancelled and sales are down. A creative director change means they can rebrand and they have JWA lined up for the role. Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective!

[@cesar1850]

But I see John at LOEWE 😍

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh that would be the curveball no one expected!

[@andrewpodolio59]

wait i just realized, that means loewe needs a CD, who's gonna take that job?

[@SDunforddesign]

Hum..Maria at Gucci?? I can see the interest due the commercial success, however the Style has to be SO SO something DIFFERENT than what she did at Dior. No alas Alessandra Gucci/ Valentino and Slime Dior/ Celine. UGH- Please stop. But Fendi and Pier Paolo Picciol- Yes Please. Thank heavens. Kim Jones is Fine, but just doesn't have the panache. Anderson at Dior , alright... Looks good a bit of a refresh and Vibe/ I hope that he can capture the Fantasy and Romance of Dior.

[@andrewpodolio59]

poor Anna, she got cynical and stopped trying to be an innovator for sometime now, instead deciding to try and become a power broker. looks like that paint is starting to chip...but i'll give her credit for how cunning and ruthlessly she has secured her position at conde nast, digging into them with an eagles claw - they would probably have to hire a swat team for the coup they would need to pull off so they could pry her from her from that throne. But that day is going to come, and it will happen so fast you wont even have time to blink, let alone make your head spin (I have a feeling only hers will).

[@alxisl]

5:53 no. Just no. Gucci is quite fine as it is now I like the work Sabato is doing!

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you for your perspective!

[@martijnkeisers5900]

Chanel is dead. Time for a change!

[@altacostura3512]

I could see Chiuri at Gucci, especially with the last collection which I frankly thought was an aberrant monstrosity, especially against the refined feminine elegance that is THE Dior code (it kind of reminded me of Michele's final excesses at Gucci). But, Sabato seems to be on the upswing (and I absolutely adore the pendulum swing into a more streamlined, wearable aesthetic).

[@MarysRoom]

Yes I can see her creating bags and accessories that would instantly sell and her RTW is so wearable. But I wonder if Kerring would hire her? Thank you for watching and sharing!

[@nathalieduran7355]

FFS stop going on about Galliano at Dior. That ship has long passed and like the titanic it won't come back.

[@michaelbruno1330]

He made Dior fashionable again! Most of the stuff they are reproducing now is his creation

[@STKTSTKT]

This is like saying stop talking about Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, or Tom Ford at Gucci. We can all acknowledge that the world has moved on, but the reason we speak about them is because of the profound impact and intertwined stories of designers and houses/brands.

[@joelgarlejo7152]

Yes that ship has sailed and gone, with that said Sir Galliano designs are in the metropolitan museum and forever be and never forgotten . AND TO BE A MATTER FACT designers of today try too replicate his work and they don't even come close. That's like saying Rembrandt, Picasso or Einstein work was no good . The rest is just for Money !

[@nathalieduran7355]

@@joelgarlejo7152 I don't agree that your argument is matter of fact because you associate fashion designers with artists , which they are not. There is no comparison with Rembrandt and Picasso . Their work is fine art. Galliano's work is the fashion business. It's not art and it's not science. In his line of work , luxury fashion , it is 100% about money. The fact that some of his stuff ended up in a museum doesn't mean it's sacred art. At Dior he designed frocks which fuelled the sale of perfumes, leather goods and make up for the average consumer. The Frocks themselves deserve to be preserved for the craftsmanship, historical value and for the future. But he's not the only one with dresses in museums.

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you for watching :)

[@craftcreek4624]

No Galliano

[@felixthecat6284]

TOOO BAD...ONLY A FEW COMMERCIAL ONES....HE JUST CANNOT INSPIRED OTHERS,BY DOING MORE INTERESTI BUT WEARABLE LIKE,MIU MIU, LV AND BOTTEGA

[@roadblox7283]

MGC is just the worst. She might be profitable (somehow? I have no idea who is buying that dreck) but I really hope she's gone for good.

[@MarysRoom]

Her fashion is very wearable and speaks to a mature customer base, also more likely to have the disposable income to buy her fashion. Thank you for watching!

[@lukasvasili3115]

Just to let you know everyone after Pluto entering in Aquarius , a lot of people will stop think and buying fashion, last time Pluto it was when it was Revolution french . This baroque era will be finish soon . Pluto will hit the leo sign as is the opposite sign of Aquarius ….. end of the glamorous life and the end of influence

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh interesting!!

[@sensunory]

It's almost as if all the gays hate the female creative directors and all the female customers actually love them haha.
