Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this fella, this Michael Rider fella. They say he’s a big shot in the fashion world, a fashion designer, you know? Folks call him a “creative director” and all that fancy talk. Sounds important, right? Like he’s the boss of the clothes or somethin’.
I heard tell he was workin’ for that Polo fella, Ralph Lauren. You know, the one with the little horse on the shirts? Yeah, that one. Michael, he was in charge of makin’ them clothes look good, I guess. He was the “creative director” there, they say. Means he told folks what to sew and how to make it all pretty.
Now, they’re sayin’ he’s got a new job, a real big one. He’s gonna be the head honcho at some place called Celine. Heard of it? Me neither. But it must be somethin’ special if they’re makin’ such a fuss over this Michael Rider fella. They say he’s takin’ over for another fella, Hedi Slimane. Sounds like a skinny fella, don’t he? Anyway, Michael’s the new boss now, the “artistic director,” they call him. Same thing as a creative director, I reckon, just a fancier name.
This Celine place, it’s one of them high-falutin’ fashion houses, you know? The kind where they charge a whole lot of money for a little bit of cloth. I seen pictures in the magazines at the store. Them models, they look like they ain’t had a good meal in their life, all skinny and serious-lookin’. And the clothes? Well, some of ’em look alright, I guess, but mostly they just look strange to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old woman.
They say Michael Rider, he’s gonna change things up at Celine. He’s gonna make it his own, you know? Maybe he’ll make clothes that folks like me can wear. Probably not, though. These fancy designers, they don’t make clothes for regular folks. They make clothes for movie stars and rich people.
- He worked at Polo Ralph Lauren.
- He’s now the artistic director at Celine.
- He’s taking over for Hedi Slimane.
It seems like this Michael Rider, he knows his stuff when it comes to clothes. He’s been workin’ in the fashion world for a while now, and he’s climbed his way up to the top. Must be a smart fella, I reckon. And he must be good at what he does, or they wouldn’t be givin’ him such a big job.
Now, I ain’t never met Michael Rider, and I probably never will. But from what I hear, he’s a big deal in the fashion design world. And he’s got a big job ahead of him, makin’ them fancy clothes for them fancy folks. I hope he does good, I really do. It’s always nice to see someone make a success of themselves, even if they do make clothes that I ain’t never gonna wear.
They’re sayin’ he might bring back some of that old Celine style, the one from before that Hedi fella. Somethin’ called “minimalist,” they say. That means plain and simple, I guess. Maybe that’s a good thing. Sometimes, them fancy clothes are just too much, you know? Too many ruffles and buttons and things. A good, plain dress is hard to beat, I always say.
Folks are callin’ this a “major shift in fashion leadership.” Big words, huh? Means he’s the new boss, plain and simple. And everyone’s watchin’ to see what he’s gonna do. Will he make Celine even more famous? Will he make clothes that people actually wanna buy? That’s the question, ain’t it? Time will tell, I reckon. Time will tell.
Michael Rider seems like a hard worker, always climbin’ and strivin’. That’s good, that’s how you get ahead in life. You gotta put in the effort, you gotta be dedicated. And it sounds like he’s got that in spades. So, good for him, I say. Good for him.
So there ya have it, what I know about this fashion designer fella, Michael Rider. Not much, I admit, but enough to know he’s a big deal in the world of fancy clothes. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll see one of his creations in the store window and say, “Hey, I know that fella!” Probably not, though. But it’s nice to think about, ain’t it?
