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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Their quality was suffering even before she took over. I expect to see even a larger dip now that apparently many of their most qualified personnel walked out with VV.

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.

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.

Chanel has gotten so MESSY!! ~ it must of been completely over the top for her to leave!

The value of vintage Chanel items are going to skyrocket as a response to the repeated quality issues at inflamed prices.

I think if the story gets out, no new artistic director will want to come in because what’s going on internally in the house will be such a red flag 🚩

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 is a true shame. Giving 30 years to a company and working with Karl, something majorly shady went down. HR is at the bottom of this.. Because a seamstress is older, you want to get rid of them? These are women with talent and more than likely these women worked with Coco. I’m so tired of hearing about AI! That doesn’t take the place of something that is handmade and is quality. People that buy Chanel expect quality! Night shifts? They are doing that trying to make people quit. They figure that none of the seamstresses will want to work the night shift so they will quit. Problem solved for Chanel. Disgusting! A 7 inch NDA agreement? Wow. There is a lot they are trying to cover up. I pray Virginia does not come to that show!

Their strategic decisions are turning Chanel into a first class sweat shop - it's so sad.

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.

God forbid he should join chanel...which is turning into fast fashion cauldron...actually, it's already doing it with the quality issues....Margiela is a better fit for Galliano 👍

OMG Dacob, this Chanel intel is deep. Upper management doesn't give a darn about quality.

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.

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.

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?

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.

As an artist, i would venture to say that AI substituting human creativity would be enough to make me want to leave.

THISSS TEAAAAAA 🍵 omgggggg my body wasn’t ready for this!! ❤

This seems like the beginning of the end. Devastating to hear these beautiful ladies working for Chanel their whole life are now being asked to go. Bravo Virginie for your unity and integrity with what Coco was about. If all this is true, Coco would only applaud Virginie for what she did. In fact, she is probably now turning in her grave. I despise people who think they are better than others due to their position or amount of money in the bank. Everyone deserves respect. If someone does not remove Leena then Chanel is on its way to a doom.

Honestly, they are reminding me of the hole Coach got themselves into in the 2000s. Amazingly, Coach were able to redeem themselves. We shall see what happens with Chanel.

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.😢

Love the intro……❤

Allegedly I know it’s facts I appreciate you for sharing this with us. I love high end brands and this is shocking just like when lady Hermes died.

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

I was with Chanel for 16 yrs. What has happened to the brand...especially beauty...not the same more ulta what has happened. The whole fabulous culture...not fabulous. Love V.

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

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

I agree. Very sorry for the workers.

Chanel has dug their own grave for a long time😡. Prices up, quality down.

Dacob is criticizing people who say Virginie's designs were not good. There's nothing wrong with that, its not a personal attack against her. All designers should be criticized. And Dacob, you yourself have said some of her designs were not good.

Dacob is not criticizing people who say they did not like Virginie’s designs. Dacob is criticizing people who are being extremely mean and rude to her as a human being now that she left Chanel. Maybe you do not understand the difference between the two but there is a huge difference. Thank you.

I guess it's not only the designer who is making decisions...and Chanel is owned by bean counters...even Coco had to fight for her materials since they were her textiles suppliers before they took over completely.

@@SuperDacob I do understand the difference between criticizing her designs and saying things like she deserves to be fired etc But I only follow a few fashion commentators - Fashion Roadman, I deserve couture, Haute Le Mode, Mary's Room, etc so I didn't hear people making personal attacks.
