This was Couture at it's best, the simplicity, the cut, the fit, the shapes, it was to die for!
I can understand the comparison to his work at Jil Sander, but that is what his aesthetic is, it's not what Jil did, it's what Raf does and he can carry on doing that if this is what we're likely to see each season, it was truly gorgeous.

You summed up my thoughts perfectly! And much nicer than I would have said them... I'm finding I'm quite opinionated when it comes to this issue!

Galliano era is over. No more theatrical pieces. That was not what Dior was about. Dior was about this:

Indeed.
And as for all the Raf for Jil Sander comparisons, I mean, what did you expect? Did you expect him to put his own take on the Galliano for Dior aesthetic? No, I think it makes sense that rather than trying to twist his own aesthetic to fit the notion of what some folks
think the Dior aesthetic should be, he's twisting the Dior aesthetic to fit his own (all while paying homage to Christian Dior). Isn't that what designers do? Not to mention, he's in a transitional phase, so of course some of his first works for Dior are going to resemble his last works for Jil Sander.
