Originally posted by Schleudersitz View PostFaust, maybe this is stating the obvious but there is clear, pronounced dislike on your part towards CCP and the sense of enthusiasm this board has embraced him with. Others designers treated here similarly have gotten years worth of praise from you in interviews, articles, photographs of yourself wearing their work and use of their clothes in styling. Poell and a few others are at best omitted, sometimes described as irrelevant to culture and fashion, even when a very significant number of us are into their work and enjoy discussing it here.
For over 500 pages now.
If this isn't too personal of a question to ask, what is your argument against Poell and the following he enjoys on stylezeitgeist? That he has not produced anything new in the past five years notwithstanding.
My only dislike of Poell is that the asshole has not acknowledged the role SZ has played in his successes. I mean, we made the motherfucker. There is no doubt about that. But that's just my ego speaking.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Well $8K is at the absolute high end and he's splitting a large amount with shops. I've inquired about more than a few special orders that were denied because production cost was too high. He definitely isn't hurting though. All designers want that paper. Cash Ruins Everything Around Me.

He's not motivated by money because he doesn't need it (family money). This is one reason that he can do what he does without giving a shit about adhering to the norms of how other folks operate within the fashion industry. He's going to have food in the fridge and nice sheets on the bed no matter what happens to his business.
Wholesale buyers have budgets seasonally. A designer wanting to make as much cash as possible will create a line each season and scramble to get the buyers to devote a hefty chunk of their seasonal budgets to his products. Having not produced a new line in years (I've stopped counting), Mr. Poell obviously is not on the build-the-biggest-pile-of-cash track.Last edited by byhand; 02-23-2015, 10:51 PM.
