Christian Dior Haute Couture F/W 09.10 Paris

^ Indeed they shall. :innocent:

I've merged the two threads, but if you don't credit these images miguelalmeida they shall have to be deleted.
 
thanks for all those HQs miguelalmeida! i was waiting for them!
 
But don't you think that by using virtually the "same thing season after season"(yet applied with new inspiration, detail, and character), it's almost more creative (and slightly brilliant) that Galliano still manages to have something new? How many designers can show the same thing season after season, yet still manage to make it look new. That takes alot of skill, the whole point of haute couture. It's like having a cookie recipe and changing the ingredients (such as choclate chips, orange, or lime) according to the season. And honestly, I do not see how this collection looks cheap at all.

Hope this makes sense-haha

I'm with Spike here.

If he manages to make them new, of course that makes him a genius. The problem is it looks like the same old, same old, and he's getting further and further away from the new directions taken by fashion. Dior is looking terribly dated. Why not just buy vintage Dior if that's what we want? Look at Lanvin, Balenciaga or YSL. The designers who inherited the house really pushed the designs FORWARD while keeping to the DNA of the brands. Dior under Galliano is getting irritating in its formulaic approach, the same rich men's "mistress"/vintage Pigalle look that no self-respecting modern gal will wear.

I'm looking at the Marc Bohan archives and goodness, he was MORE Dior than Galliano, and that's what, 3 decades ago??

Imo, YSL and then Bohan were the right match for Dior. Galliano is talented but not talented enough to bring Dior up to scratch.
