Is he a good designer?

>> No.13927260

SS19 Pre-collection isn’t bad and some of his womenswear is interesting but other than that he is trash. Guys a shitty designer but I’ll give him this, he’s a good business man.

hype. menswear so they don't really give a fuck. plus who else was there to take kim jones place? LVMH is losing to kering and they need something to get the revenue and market share up. virgil was a good pick, because talent isn't what sells today, it's hype

He actually has some good theory on design. He's great at selling things, I can't explain how he has gotten away doing "THIS" all this years. Don't forget he also started pyrex and off white. I think his work is horrendous, but that doesn't make him bad at his work.

This guy idolizes Duchamp so much that his fashion existence is based on copying his ideas into some sort of mundane hypebeast form. It's sad.

I meant for purchase, not like "on discount". I know most fashion houses just burn their stuff rather than put it on sale.

yes, there were some pop ups a month or two back and his stuff began appearing on Grailed. it should be available in January

>> No.13930326

>Is he a good designer?
In short yes. Even if you don't like his designs and releases he is quite educated, has a great understanding of what he works, and understands what people want. His women's runway collection is a much better example compared to men's.
>Is everything he does good?
No.
>Is it right to put him at the helm of LV men's?
Yes.

Both of these are woefully incorrect. Virgil has no grand theory underlying his designs and only has commercial success because of his ties to Kanye and for the sales he brings to LV. If you've ever heard him give lectures (Columbia, Harvard), they are full of platitudes that amount to nothing. There is nothing deeper to fish out of his design.

i dont think any of you really know anything about virgil prior to pyrex.

go look him up and respect his time spent in the industry idiots
