Doesn't seem so.

So far...I'm not unhappy! There are some pieces I really like, and I especially love the hats! That dress on Stam looks SO gorgeous and looks vintage Galliano which is so major! I'm not a fan of the leopard dress (John...no more leopard, please!) and I HATE that dress on Michelle Alves.

Otherwise, I'm happy that he's ditched the 60's, technicolor satins and gobbed on embroidery and embellishments. It's nice to see that he's refocused a lot of his attention to the cut and the draping of the garments as opposed to how much glitter he can put on it.

So far, I'm not 100% sold on it...I mean, I'd die if he started doing couture like he did in the 2002-SS 2006 era again, but this is a vast improvement from last season, so I'm happy!

That light purple/ pink belted, bow cardigan and sheer skirt in post #47 is REALLY, REALLY gorgeous! Nice to see John using sheer fabrics again!

So far, I would say the inspiration looks a little...late 10's early 20's? With the skull caps and some of the more suit-like looks and the set looking like some Gosford Park manor...I dunno...I'd be interested to hear what John says his inspirations were.

I like the makeup but the hair is odd!

He's got alot of clients to please.. surely they will love this compared to last season.

"The demand for very, very high-end products continues to be very strong," agreed Sidney Toledano, president of Christian Dior, citing an increase in couture sales of more than 35 percent last year and a "strong double-digit" growth so far this year. "Very rich people are not suffering from the crisis. The workshops have been very busy," he said.

the last dress in post #53 is just amazing! well done, John!

 

[dior_couture1245]

Don't like the dress on Chanel at all...

So far the eveningwear looks ok, still a little dowager/ vintage Dior...but the dress on Olga (you can see her behind Viviane in post #53) looks really beautiful.
