oh dacob, i love the things you hate about alessandro's gucci haha his direction for gucci was such a design renaissance. i love the aloofness he brought. the wealth of art history and historical references he imbued the collections with. i totally felt that the creative energy and people he gathered around himself made being a dreamer so inviting. the carefree, dreamlike, romantic, escapist fantasy, dressing up in your finest clothes and jewels just to have tea with your friends in the garden - i adored it. i love 60s and 70s and i have so many ready to wear pieces, trousers, coats, fashion jewelry, etc. from the six 2018/19 collections. gucci shoes are amazing as well, amazing quality and so long lasting. but yeah, everything after fall 2019 has been repetitive. i love alessandro and i was so sad he left, but i definitely saw it coming. it's the end of an era.

lagerfeld literally did the same thing throughout his days at chanel, with slight variation and some new but forgetable designs inserted here and there. also, not everything he did was so marvelous (although he was a great designer), but the bulk and essence of what he did at chanel remained mostly unchanged throughout the years. there are only so many variations of the chanel language.

Gucci was on the verge of bankruptcy when Tom Ford became creative director. He was so brilliant that whole period with him was superlative. I particularly loved the look of the low slung velvet pants and jacket, with the Gucci horse-bit belt, but also how he revived the hobo bag so well with various colours and textures. Ford hates brown and he reduced the production of brown items to an absolute minimum. He's achieved so much in his life no wonder he sold his own label after the death of his partner Richard Buckley (who was a well known fashion writer and journalist. This was also after successfully writing and directing two feature films. His partner Richard was very wise and kept his feet on the ground, particularly about fame and how ephemeral the fashion world is. 'Now, Ford, 60 (in 2021), is sharing how he has adjusted to life without Buckley. "It's been hard after 35 years, very hard," he told WSJ. "I keep thinking, 'Oh, God, I have to call Richard,' or I need to send him a note about this. And he's not here." ' And also: "If the person you're with is someone you respect, who you believe has a great heart and a great soul, as good a heart and soul that you will ever find, don't ever leave them," Ford added, "because you won't find anyone better." - from People magazine Published on December 1, 2021.

interesting, he was there a long time, 20+ years perhaps? I associate Gucci with shoes, lol! have many shoes from Gucci that are still perfect from 90's-00's, never bought a bag or slg, stay in the hermes/longchamp lane with a dusting of Vuitton! I love the horse bit and hope they find a way to draw on their heritage

He did shoes, bags, accessories under ford at first I think… then worked his way up to assistant designer.

Alessandro Michele was never my cup of tea. I thought the clothes were uninspired and the way they were styled on the runway with those emaciated teen models was very corny. Also, every collection ran together, like one loooooong season. I could not for the life of me look at an item of clothing and pinpoint what collection its from. Sorry, but I think there's something to be said for seasonality in fashion. I don't think much of his Gucci will be collectable in the way that Tom Ford's Gucci was. But god dammit, those campaigns were MAGNIFICENT! Always the highlight of the campaign season.

It sounds like Kering has the LV/Chanel level ambition for Gucci (15 bil revenue is not easy) but Michele was unwilling/unable to change his direction to fill the brief. I have a few of his shoes for Gucci but got tired of his gimmicks. I can see him at Etro, Missoni, or even Pucci or Marni but honestly do people care about creative directors anymore? It's in the companies' best interest to keep CDs' ego in check so they can be puppets for cash and growth. Also, let this serve as another cautionary tale for potential candidates: a Kering relationship never ends well for anyone involved (just ask Yves, Tom, Pilati, Lee, Hedi, Nicolas, Daniel, and ...Demna?)

My attitude is never to tear down anyone who is creating something. It’s easy to be critical when you haven’t personally taken on the challenge of creating. Making anything -be it art, fashion, or music and presenting it to the world is a vulnerable place to be. Kindness would be an appropriate response. If you don’t like someone’s work, let that be motivation to create your own work!

Michele created great designs for gucci but I think as the years went on it became repetitive. And imo, what really made it boring now are the collabs. They stink! All the logomania especially the ones with Balenciaga. Out of all the designers, and this is not Gucci related, imo it's Phoebe Philo who made such an indelible almost untouchable mark in the industry, and she left on her own time.

I 100% agree with you Dacob Addams 😉 Since Alessandro took over, I lost all interested. Frida was okay, but not for me either. I wish we could get Tom Ford back. Give it rock n roll and SEX back!! Remember the GG shaved on the models woha? That was so trash, but so good. It made people look and actually have an opinion, good or bad. That I miss. Gucci from 97 to when Tom left, was and is the best. If they took Tom Ford back to Gucci, could he bring back the magic?

I feel quite sad at this review . Usually I like your videos. Too much nastiness about AM for me. He has done a lot for us folk who are not into minimalism and boring Luxury, the people who are not traditionally beautiful. I agree it’s a little repetitive after 2019 ,but I still prefer anything he designed rather than say a bin bag from balenciaga or a tacky egg on a heel from loweve. Yawn . I feel sad to see him leave . If you’re a maximalist and a 70s lover you get it . Not sure it’s necessary to say those nasty things just because it wasn’t your personal style . Figures hadn’t dropped last year ,just not grown as much as greedy kering would like. Let’s hope AM starts his own brand for us misfits and eccentric folk . Have a nice day.

Don’t take it personally. He is not your brother or father or friend or cousin or uncle or lover. Nothing personal. Also, I too cannot stand the Loewe trash egg heel or anything Balenciaga. But I am not a minimalist by any means. Check out my older videos… I have one of the biggest Jeremy Scott collections out there… talk about opulence and camp and escapism. Haha. But one grows out of things eventually and moves on. Jeremy is very repetitive too so I grew out of the novelty as well. I am happy Gucci will get some new fresh air. I feel it was much needed. As for Michele… I really don’t care for his aesthetic… but that doesn’t mean I have anything against anybody who loves to wear his pieces. If you like to wear his stuff, then go for it. Enjoy it.
