Where are they now?

Thimister

One of my (and laika's and zam's) favorites! It was sad to see him stop designing. There is a thread on him buried in this subforum.

he is doing a new uni-sex collection being shown in Paris next month that looks somewhat promising.

there are a few thim pieces on the designer floor at barneys. all really interesting yet disparate. the leather bags have an embryo-like quality that i think would appeal to many on these boards.

[quote=thehouseofdis;213829]I've been thinking about a Matsuda hat I bought more than a decade ago and was wondering what Mitsuhiro Matsuda was up to since the company closed. To my surprise, he died of liver failure in 2008.


didn't Mitsuhiro pass the baton onto Yukio Kobayashi already when Matsuda hit the western markets? what ever happed to him? he was one of my favourites.

and what about Roberto Menichetti? Jil Sander men's under him imo was one of the strongest minimalist collection series and seriously 'defined' the jil sander spirit for me. he went on to launch Burberry Prorsum; BP in those years really offered a refreshing take on fashion in general, with all the experiments in the fabrics and muted colour tones, giving good old Burberry quite a fresh perspective... his luck seemed to have run out since leaving BP...

I think Menichetti is doing some mid-market motorcycle gear collab now. I could've sworn I saw something at Pitti. First, I thought it's sad, but hey, Throup keeps reworking soccer gear like it's the most mind-blowing thing on earth, so who am I to judge.

Claude Montana is rumoured to return to fashion this autumn.
