I am a fan of Willy Vanderperre's work. Really, I always admire the serenity & cleanness of his work but this campaign...I just found them boring & flat. Don't really like them.
The silhouette of Mr.Christian Dior's clothes might be clean & smooth, but the work & fabric involved are outrageous. Remember how many meters of fabric the bar suit had used? Remember all those beautiful evening gowns of him? Nonetheless, on the other hand, some of his designs are very "minimalism". So I guess Galliano & Raf just took what they like or prefer from this extraordinarily rich & vast archive as inspirations.
However, readers & consumers in year 2013 are VERY different from the 1950's. We are spoiled and we want to see new, exciting, entertaining stuff all the time. If Raf wants to keep everybody's interest in Dior for long, I reckon he has to produce something more than the black pants suit with a scarf around the neck. Look forward to his next collection.
