Christian Dior Resort 2012

[BibiRose]

I really don't like this collection- especially the necklace-dress combo.

I agree, there's no fantasy or eccentricity in this collection. It's way too clean for me, considering this is Dior. I think they made ok clothes but if they decided to do the collection without a creative director they should have at least tried to stay in the same lines that have made Dior so successful these last years...

Alright so to be honest I never was a huge fan of Galliano for Dior, but now that he's gone everything gets worse.
The colors, the accessories, the shoes and the clothes themselves... all of it is awful and doesn't match. Seriously what is that white thing on the models arm in the last shot?!? A plaster or what?
I hope they'll come up with something not as chaotic as this...

However, i think the Design team have done a wonderful job without a Creative Director at the Helm, the collection isn't 'WOW' but i don't think that's its purpose, its meant to work in reality, not a fantasy world,
i don't love it, but i do like afew pieces and i do like the Sandals and the Dark Pink Bag in post #10.

exactly!

This is so unbelievably not Galliano. But I like it. Its not my personal taste but its a nice change for Dior.

 

[SGaspar]

This was probably designed by someone inside the house so I'm holding back my comments. I can't wait to see what the new designer, whoever it might be, designs. So far, so bad xD.

 

[CholoChic]

Dior?
Where?

 

[bluedolphin]

so bad

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

i do see Pucci i this

 

[ParadEyes]

This is terrible. What a huge disappointment.

 

[Tentacl Ventricl]

I quite like it. Haven't seen any visuals other than what's on this thread but in particular I liked-

the minimalised Missoni-esque one shoulder zig-zag graphic, blanket dress

and the blue thigh-slit maxi with bateau/yoke neckline with grecian-ish embellishment.

a 70s-ish boho ethno vibe faced up, contrasted, with modernist graphics or grecian classicism is one thing I'm seeing on the horizon.

Whilst I lament the way it had to end for John, I don't regret his departure from a design perspective. He'd become too insular and the House needed to re-engage in a dialogue with trend, freshen up. I take what I've seen of this collection as a sign of a step in the right direction.

 

[MonsieurBenard]

I think that is a visually pleasant collection with new trends that weren't there at Galliano's Era. But I'm still looking for more outfits to redefine my opinion.

I'm curious about what will happen to Christian Dior in the future, I hope that the magic, the craftmanship, the glamour and beauty don't desapear with the next head designer!

Honestly, after what Galliano had been churning on his last seasons in the helm of CD this is quite a nice surprise. Chic, understated clothes who seem quite appropriate for the Resort/Cruise crowd.

Those big graphic blanket dresses seem sooooo adorable. And then there's the evening gown, the ladies-who-lunch dress, the airport/traveling/shopping look and then the accesories.

Very very well balanced. I like the change. I honestly think this is quite good

Worst collection I have seen in a while. I always look foward to Dior shows/collections because I know I am going to get some thing crazy and out of the box. This is shocking, its so normal. It looks like some department store range . They need Galliano back pronto, or else they will go bankrupt with this rubbish

 

[balmain1914]

this is BEBE with bigger budget. crap.

 

[Kayote]

I actually dont think its all that bad, however, it does'nt exactly fit the Dior image.

Regardless, its far and away better than what Gucci has for this season.

 

[MimiV]

Wait, is this a collection of six looks only...?

 

[missnyc]

It doesn't look like Dior because Dior won't be the same anyway. Of course, the drama factor is missing but it's a good collection anyway. I'm just intrigued to know who designed this

 

[ultramarine]

Im still waiting for more looks. This is weird. Nothing on Dior.com nor Style.com

 

[Squizree]

If Galliano, who is one of the most exciting designers of our time, couldn't spice up Dior then I doubt anyone can.
