Designers Repeating Themselves vs Journalists’ Commentary Paris Fashion Week SS25 Highlights the Death of Fashion Criticism At Paris Fashion Week SS25, we saw the emergence of constructed silhouettes and a renewed desire for more dressy styles; a longing to dress up once again. However, the most striking observation is designers repeating themselves. That coincides with the disappearance of what once was true fashion criticism. In his critique of Milan Fashion Week, Tim Blanks of B.O.F. highlighted a lack of identity among Italian brands. So, what should we say about Paris Fashion Week? Aside from a few exceptions, like Chloé, Saint Laurent, Yohji Yamamoto, Chanel or Miu Miu — who delivered shows deeply rooted in their brand’s identity and heritage — most others could have been anyone. We’ve seen high praise for Alessandro Michele’s work at Valentino, which is surprising given that his approach seems merely centred on his own aesthetic. It’s as if he’s saying, ‘I love flea market style, and that’s what I bring wherever I go.’ Hasn’t he replicated what he did at Gucci? The only difference is the brand name. But just as one swallow doesn’t make a summer, a bow or a frill doesn’t make Valentino. So, it’s puzzling to read such glowing reviews from journalists when social media reactions have been far less favourable. Many users have called it a Gucci replica, with comments like ‘he destroyed one brand, now he’s doing the same to Valentino,’ and ‘he doesn’t realise people are tired of this.’ Others suggest, ‘he should launch his own brand.’ We’ve explained why he won’t in a previous discussion. Here’s an excerpt: But why don’t these creative directors launch their namesake brands? They avoid it because out of that box, they lose their relevance. Their skills rely on immense archives and huge investments. They excel at styling and marketing, but the creativity of a fashion designer is a different matter. Their ego overpowers. Indeed, the journalists’ comments couldn’t be more disconnected from those on social media. https://lnkd.in/drTVupiK

Every fashion brand has its own designer, but GIVENCHY strives for more! Let’s decode how they became a legacy in today’s ever-changing market: The brand remains a powerhouse worth billions, proving that the fashion world is not as orthodox as it seems. Givenchy shows that not every brand needs a star designer to become prominent. Givenchy's history is rich with iconic moments and designs: 1. Audrey Hepburn's little black dress in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961): This timeless piece revolutionized women's fashion and remains a cultural icon. 2. Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hats and tailored suits (1960s): Givenchy dressed the First Lady, solidifying its status as a symbol of elegance. 3. Ariana Grande's Met Gala dress (2018): The Sistine Chapel-inspired gown demonstrated Givenchy's ability to blend high art with contemporary fashion. Here's why the brand remains at the top: 1. Innovation: Givenchy's 2021 "Teaser" sneaker, made from a single piece of leather, showcases their commitment to pushing design boundaries. 2. Craftsmanship: The intricate beadwork on their Spring 2022 couture collection highlights their dedication to traditional techniques alongside modern design. 3. Strategic marketing: Their #GivenchyFamily campaign in 2017 featured a diverse cast of models, connecting with a younger, more inclusive audience. 4. Digital presence: Their interactive AR filter for the "Givenchy Beauty" line launched in 2020 engaged customers during pandemic lockdowns. 5. Collaborations: The Givenchy x The Walt Disney Company collection in 2022 merged high fashion with pop culture, attracting a broader customer base. In an industry often defined by star designers, Givenchy's journey testifies to the power of a strong brand and quality products. They've shown that a cohesive vision and dedication to excellence can create lasting success. Can you think of any brands successfully following a similar path? #fashion #designer #creative #success

Brand identity. Its importance cannot be underestimated - whether as a company or as an individual. I was reminded of this again yesterday when I attended the outstanding Chloe exhibit at The Jewish Museum in NYC.  Chloe has long been one of my favorite brands, particularly during the tenures of the talented Phoebe Philo, Stella McCartney, and Clare Waight Keller. What stayed with me throughout my entire time at the exhibit, was this line on one of the placards: "Keenly aware of the importance of brand identity, (Gaby) Aghion (the founder of Chloe) insisted that retailers keep Chloe's label's on the clothes, instead of replacing them with their own (as was common at that time)." Equally as impressive was that Aghion recognized a void in the market. In postwar Paris, wealthy women wore haute couture. Women of average means wore either knockoffs of those couture pieces, or cheaply made ready to wear garments. Aghion launched Chloe to fill that space with something new -- a unique juxtaposition between the luxury and quality of haute couture and the easiness and accessibility of ready to wear. Her term -- "pret-a-porter de luxe". In doing so, she created a brand not so much for herself, as for all women. These lessons ring as true today as they did in 1952 when Chloe launched, and they apply to any product or sector. Please enjoy some photos from the exhibit. #fashion #branding #personalbranding

🌟 Coco Chanel’s Fearless Take on Imitation: The Power of Leading, Not Following 🌟 Coco Chanel once said, “If you want to be original, be ready to be copied.” For a woman who revolutionized fashion, imitation wasn’t an annoyance — it was proof she was leading the way. 🖤👗 In the early 1900s, Chanel broke the mold. While fashion was dominated by restrictive corsets and embellishments, she introduced simple, comfortable, and chic designs — jersey dresses inspired by men’s sportswear, her iconic tweed suits, and more. Her style was a breath of fresh air, emphasizing freedom over decoration. 💃 As her designs gained popularity, Chanel saw copies of her work everywhere. While some designers might have been furious, Chanel understood that imitation meant she had changed the conversation in fashion. 🌍 She famously said, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery,” knowing that her innovative spirit couldn’t be replicated. Instead of fighting copycats, Chanel kept creating. She released groundbreaking designs like the little black dress in 1926, which transformed a color once reserved for mourning into the epitome of chic. She launched the quilted 2.55 bag in 1955, which remains iconic today. 🎒 By the 1920s and 1930s, the world was filled with garments that mimicked Chanel’s style, from costume jewelry to jersey fabric in high fashion. But she knew that true originality lies in continuously setting new standards and staying ahead of the curve. 🚀✨ Chanel’s fearless approach reminds us that in any field, leadership is about setting trends, not following them. When others imitate you, don’t see it as a threat — see it as proof that you’re onto something great. Like Chanel, keep pushing forward with confidence, creativity, and a bit of daring. 🌟💫 We can all be a bit more Coco.. what do you think? #CocoChanel #FashionRevolutionary #ImitationIsFlattery #CreativeLeadership #Originality #InnovationInStyle
