Getting started in the fashion businesS If ESTABLISHED designers continue to rip off designers struggling to be seen, For instance bottega veneta has blatently ripped me off, and i will be suing them for breach of copy write, I am sick and tired of getting ripped by these people who call themselves designers all they are, are style thieves, who steal on the ground level where the real new ideas come from in British markets, London 6 months before fashion they all come out like termites, I am probably the most ripped off designer in the world, and it stops now, starting with bottega veneta, that assymetrric shoulder is my trade mark i want reperations, I am already suing TOPSHOP for breach of contract, you are nothing.

surprise surprise – it was pretty clear that the “emerged” markets would not respond well to the emerging market stuff gucci has been churning out of late. it’s become such a tacky brand. they say it’s because they have been focusing too much on the top end of the pyramid. well, if they want a top end consumer they need to make their entry level products less tacky!! and their solution is apparently to refocus on that monogram canvas that was counterfeited to high heaven?? the mind boggles!!

I have to say i saw this coming. I have been a HUGE supporter of Frida… especially of her inaugural collections including accessories….It was vibrant, feminine, sexy in a refreshing departure from the Ford Era which in itself was a tough act to follow…but the last few seasons have been lackluster…..the luxury aspect seems to have faded….They could also be stronger with the visuals (visual merchandising & advertising)Used to be that the windows and advertising would make u stop and take another look…..and yes even covet the delicious merchandise…The color, design and overall execution was pedestrian this time out…. I dont know the intimate details of whats going on at Gucci HQ but someone needs to reign it in before it gets to Pre-Ford status

There’s a lot of pressure on Frida Giannini. Will she be pushed out now? Gucci’s “sexy” edge has certainly diminished under her direction but last season sales were up. Does the European and Japanese market find her designs less desireable?
