Christian Dior Cruise 2014 Monte Carlo

[Lust For YSL]

Theres some pieces I would take out but most of the dresses are so flowy and beautiful definitely feels like a vacation. Overall I like it.

Some nice pieces but overall not impressed, I find his clothes repetitive, same shoes, same make up, same 1950s waspish lady. Some color pieces were nice but overall its just so redundant. Also it would be nice to see models of color, for such a big fashion house, it looks odd.

i can't believe i like this collection so much while thinking that Raf's previous work for Dior has been so mediocre, awkward, tedious, contrived, etc.

this is so much more contemporary, fresh and even sexier with all the sheer he used
i just love the mix of all the textures and fabrics, interesting work with the lace and the layering is great too..

i didn't see this coming at all! and really wanna see the clothes in motion

I absolutely LOVE how graphic it is. I'm so thankful he's at Dior, such a breath of fresh air!

 

[liberty33r1b]

each collection he's put out there has been stunning so far, this one no exception. just incredibly beautiful

 

[almudena]

Fantastic! Loved the colours and silhouettes!

The shoes are to die too.

I keep looking over this collection and finding more and more to love about it. He's given a little edge to his elegance. The zipper details, ombréd accessories, slashes of metallics, fractured graphics, punches of colors layered under the lace, mid drift-baring cropped tops, the asymmetrical neckline of the finale dress. All these details, and more, make this collection modern and dynamic.

I'm very pleased that he used so much color. It's enriched simplicity rather than basic minimalism. The pink closing dress is gorgeous.

Very Raf but with twist, the collection is getting better.

 

[tatouejeremie]

the whole feel of the show really reminds me of paolo melim andersson's chloe s/s08, but that show still looks fresher to me than this.

 

[iclawhands]

looks like if proenza and preen had a baby...

 

[lelaid]

None of this should work and in some looks it doesn't. But overall, I kinda love it. The unique cuts, the graphic prints, the clashing colors. He somehow makes what other designers would butcher, suddenly chic. I particularly love the bold colored suits at the beginning and zippered dresses at the end.

 

[Street_a_Licious]

hmmm.... As always, not even one color girl

my main issue here

the clothes are nice, albeit derivative of his previous collections... all of them really.

 

[gossiping]

it's gorgeous, i hope he keeps doing this theme with these colours, it really works

It really does especially when comparing the use of abstract prints, layers and flowing silhouettes. But for this, I think Raf expanded on the fluid forms and gave more structured variety, adding his own contemporary touch once again. Not a fan of some of the prints and the colour blocking/styling of some ensembles are too dissonant for my liking but overall another solid collection.

It's just so beautiful and delicate at the same time. Really great pieces and mixes of prints. Love it

 

[MetroMelannie]

Wow Dior is getting better and better ! I was not convinced by Sommons' first collections as I was used by Galliano's aesthetic but in fact he is bringing back the essence of Dior with modernity.

 

[ForChicSake]

He keeps doing the same thing every collection!

what's new?! all the collections he sent out seem too similar to the other,I can't tell which one is which one. THAT PINK! that ball skirt and THAT BAR Jacket(I feel like he just milked to the extend it's exhausting)...are just not happening. I give up! Raf.

I don't feel like his done anything great since his move to Dior, I am still waiting to be blown by this guy. The suits/trousers are good that's what's worked but the dresses/gowns not overly impressed.

 

[rougevalentino]

This is probably my favourite collection Raf has designed for Dior so far. I like the asymmetric trousers and skirts - a few of the other pieces are still a bit of a miss for me though. But still, improvement! I'm looking forward to see what he does next.

 

[Naen]

It seems a bit chaotic but definitively less within bounds and less deliberate. Here I can finally see the pieces of Raf I love.
