Re: Helmut Lang sans Lang
[quote user="Tafkap"]Believe me, I want to hate it. Being from L.A. I def want to puke thinking about a husband and wife duo taking over Helmut Lang. I mean, in a way they seem like your typical L.A. designers...(not that good, ignorant, etc.)....but Helmut Lang is legendary, there's no one who can take away what he's done. It's better than it being completely over. To tell you the truth, I love Raf but I hate the idea of even him designing for Jil Sander. I think when it boils down to it, it is nice to see some new blood taking over such a big brand. I mean, I hate Karl Lagerfeld for example beacuse he's just too old. He's like Michael Jackson, hanging out with all these young kids, Lindsay, etc. It's gross. I think it is great that Younger people can design for such an established brand. Instead of bringing in old folks. I mean, we're gonna see Hedi Slimane designing for yearssssss...It's nice now, but it's already old to me. Out with the old in with the new.[/quote]
Me too. And I hate his second line, total garbage.
I don't think it's a matter of old and new. Karl just sucks as a designer - he is just a celebrity, a skeevy one at that. The problem with the new is that we haven't had anyone new, except maybe Plokhov (and he's going downheal at the speed of light). Everyone else has been a totaly talentless hack and a hype machine - Posen, Saphaforuwhatever, As Twenty, etc., etc.
