I would have expected a jacket made of such a precious material to have a lining as well

Jesus, how a house like DIOR survived almost a decade of these DRAB, HORRIBLE, RAGGEDY designs. And who the hell thought it was a good idea to put this woman in this position in the first place.

It's less about the designs being unflattering - they are unflattering - but more about them being devoid of beauty or any visual charm. Her taste in colours, fabrics, cuts are just horrendous. She makes Raf's collections total masterpieces by comparison.

Can’t wait for her exit news.

Is this the first time we’ve seen J’Adore Dior tees on the runway since Spring 2005?

Regardless, so drab. Have never been able to sit through a full show by her, but this one’s even more drab than what she’s done in before pffff.

Dior stocks have been at their lowest in one month today. I guess this is her last show. I hope so at least. She is the most untalented fashion designer ever.

With this show Dior has officially become the cirque de soleil equivalent of fashion.
Byeeeeeee!

This was not good. It was very ambitious and grand in terms of presentation, but the clothes in that space made absolutely no sense. And most of these pieces look like they belong in her Resort 2025 Scotland collection, no?

Which brings me to my second point - why is she so obsessed with medieval / historic costumes and clothing at the moment? It doesn't look modern at all. Well at least not in her hands. Dior clothes from the 1940s/1950s look more modern than this, which is bizarre.

What's clear to me from this collection is that she needs to take a long, long break from the fashion industry and actually take some time to redefine what her aesthetic is and think about what, if anything, she adds to the fashion landscape. Because at the moment, apart from being a champion for female artists and creatives, she is bringing nothing.

I think Maria Grazia would be better suited to the position of a museum director or curator or a board member. She could do wonders in those places and really make an impact. But as a designer of a prestigious Maison? I don't think so.

The Dior Production​

The production was choreographed by veteran director Robert Wilson, who among other accolades is known for his stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando novel which featured French actress Isabelle Huppert.

Mirroring aforementioned Orlando influence, Wilson drew on the novel’s structure, dividing the production’s staging into five time travelling movements featuring dramatic landscapes of fire and ice with glowing molton rocks lowered from on high, giant iceberg sculptures which emerged from below ground level and a Pterodactyl that sailed magnificently across the cavernous venue.
