G Talk
No, this is not a new issue. It is the pile of dirt swept under the carpet thats getting bigger
in size over time. It plagues the industry, and as fashion consumerism continues to grow,
this issue is just going to be more endemic.
What are we ranting on about? In the last couple of months, we have heard about the sad
departures of Alexander Wang and Raf Simons from Balenciaga and Dior respectively. For
Balenciaga, perhaps an underlying alignment of vision between designer and brand was at
play, but Rafs soaring commercial success at Dior was undeniable. The move to leave was
truly surprising, especially when we are now accustomed to waiting for the next unexpected
'It' item that we would happily lap up (fusion heels and floral sneakers, anyone?).
Some call it a smart move, leaving on a high note as he magically revamped the modern
interpretations of the decades-old house. Both Alexander and Raf have set their eyes to
concentrating on their namesake labels, not surprising, since that is the ultimate creative
satisfaction for every designer, isnt it? But peel back the layers, and as Cathy Horyn puts
it honestly in her op-ed for The Cut, it is the impossible pressure of having to produce
multiple collections annually that exhaust most of the creatives.
We often romanticise the creation process for fashion. Perhaps, the designer sits with a
cup of coffee while he stares into a never-ending green garden and sketches easily. Days
could be spent reviewing a special piece while deciding on colours and fabrics while
conversations are to be had with the ultimate muse. But this is absolutely not the case these
days, when creative directors are often running from studios to studios, overlooking up to
six collections a year, not to mention diffusion lines and perhaps even lifestyle projects.
Rafs decision to leave is an intelligent move, lest we forget, the tragic suicide of Alexander
McQueen, or Nicholas Ghesquieres vocal outlash against his previous employer, Balenciaga.
And then, there was Rafs predecessor, John Galliano. When push comes to shove, even
the strongest could bow to the extreme demands of the fashion industry. But we must
remember, that without the talents, fashion is but a fools game.

AN EDIT
OF THINGS
THAT ARE
HOT NOW
LACOSTE X PEANUTS
Lacostes signature crocodile emblem first got together with the iconic
Peanuts cartoon characters in 2010 to celebrate the comic strips
60th anniversary and this autumn, they are back with another capsule
collection collaboration. Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus, get
up to their usual mischief; Snoopy is portrayed crocodile fishing from
his doghouse rooftop, while Linus gently wrestles the reptile for his
blanket, Lucy talks the croc into a game of tennis and Charlie Browns
birdie meets a surprising end, caught in the famous toothsome jaw.
The Lacoste crocodile fits right in with the Peanuts gang, says Hayato
Kohama, director of Special Product Design Inc and creative advisor for
the Peanuts line. Embroideries immortalising these 4 sketches adorn
the emblematic polo which comes in 3 colours white, navy and chin
grey. The collection is available in boutiques this month.
