I admired Gvasalia's courage to push the boundaries. If he is listening to customer feedback and iterate his future design mixing what people originally loved and his vision, this could land in a great innovation (e.g. Small, soft structured Ice skating bag with ME Bal hardware). The small bazaar, for example, is a more palatable idea, compared to the much larger sister, though for me personally, still lacks the Bal edge.
Having said that, if the boundary is pushed and no feedback is taken, then highly likely that Demna G will lose the original Bal followers, and that is a pity.
Of course this is just me, one of many customers, one of the admirers of classic Bal style, so uncertain if this represents customers.
But I do hope that Demna Gvasalia is a member of this forum and reading this!
