#006 : Why Are They Queueing Round the Block for a Supreme Microwave?

Fashion Hospital

Welcome back to the wards...

This week the nurses discuss the fashion collaboration epidemic.

From Dua Lipa's Versace runway show, to Pharrell Williams' placement at Louis Vuitton, what place does celebrity have in today's fashion brands? Why do some succeed (Yeezy x Adidas) and others fail (Beyonce's Ivy Park, Rihanna's Fenty)?

Are artist collaborations better than celebrity ones - think Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli or Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton bags featuring artworks from artists including Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama & Jeff Koons, or Lee Alexander McQueens work with Damien Hirst.

The nurses discuss the pros and cons of designer crocs - from Christopher Kane to Balenciaga, and if Demna is just greedy with his collaborators (for SS17 Vetements collaborated with Alpha Industries, Brioni, Canada Goose, Carhartt, Champion, Church's, Comme des Garcons, Dr. Marten's, Eastpak, Hanes, Lucchese, Mackintosh, Manolo Blahnik, Reebok and Schott and more!)

They also question whether AI will replace designers and collaborations in general, and ask ChatGPT for some collab suggestions... Chanel x Hello Kitty anyone?
