Who the FUCK thought Virgil was a good idea for LV's menswear creative director. They have fucked it, GG LV, LV is dead now, the supreme collaboration was bad enough but this is the nail in the coffin, after this it will no longer be a sophisticated luxury brand, its actual hypebeast shit now, not that it hasn't already been for the last 2 years, this is ridiculous, why are they so determined to fuck their brand image.

Because nobody cares about a luxurious brand image anymore
Hypebeasts and tasteless rich people are a much bigger market in 2018

They have a history of being a luxury house indeed, whereas APC has not.

Thanks for pointing out you are clueless about fashion history.

Based on the study on google pictures on the method of 'how many pictures before fuckboy-shit comes up'
Prada is still kind-of bubbling under. Yes they released tacky sneakers but not yet fully ruined.

>why are they so determined to fuck their brand image.
they have no fucking brand image among the young people they need to sell their clothing badly to stay relevant and exist as a brand, that's the issue, that's why they hire streetwear hotshot like virgil to build them a new one

This is done to compete with all the other brands.

More so, we already know that no one gives two fucks about LV.

>Sophisticated luxury brand

Lmfao, that has to be satire.

>> No.13251735

>>13251553
Very accurate
Their demographic was always tasteless people pretty much though
But yeah, nobody actually cares about the status of "luxury", it doesn't sell, it's not good business. LVMH is a huge fucking company, they don't give a flying fuck about "prestigious" brand image which to be frank, has not been there for ages.

>> No.13251737

>>13251692
Absolutely. Their high end luggage line has always been well respected and the pret-a-porter line under Jacobs really revitalized the brand. Obviously the monogram belts and some of the bags are tacky but they're the money makers and you gotta look beyond that stuff.
