Christian Dior S/S 2011 : Karlie Kloss by Steven Meisel

[fantastical]

as much as I'm not a fan of Karlie and her one expression - I really don't think she is to blame here. there was no saving this tacky collection. point. blank. period.

 

[Fiercification]

I like that Meisel went for the 70s Hawaiian pin-up inspiration, it kind of tones down the ridicularity of the clothes themselves by being so overly kitsch.

It looks like fun, but I can't take this seriously as a campaign. It looks kind of offhand and, well, silly. Maybe I'm just not perceiving this the right way.

I can understand why the chose the pin-up theme. But I honestly think they should have picked another model. Karlie doesn't strike me as a pin-up model. I think Mayrna would've been a much better choice.

I don't have a problem with Karlie as i know she is John G favorite girl this moment like other girls used to be, but the problem is overall of the campaign wasn't interesting and so boring in a way. The collection was so colorful and playful, this was all they can think of??? quite disappointed.

Karlie looks phenomenal! For a moment i actually thought she was Christy Turlington

 

[MON]

I like it but it became predictable and repetitive

I can't say that I hate this one 'cause I have this passion about anything that has a vintage feeling/touch in it. So in other words, I adore this one. The approach Meisel did was so cool. Although the hairstyle is somehow similar to the S/S 2010 campaign. But whatever, I still like it.

i'm tired and feel so bored of karlie, in here she's trying so hard to look hot. oh please...

 

[TaylorBinque]

Karlie looks fine but the clothes themselves look bad. Though I think Stam would really nail this.

 

[Cut Copy]

I Dislike This Intensely. Karlie. Eugh.

 

[Alkupra]

I don't know why many of you dislike Karlie so much, just tell me one reason please? I love Karlie but she looks so yellow in this pic :\

Karlie doesn't look like herself at all in these pics. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing though!

She's extremely common looking, just another tall blonde. And thus far she has not produced more than 1 facial expression for Dior. Also her walk is a catastrophe.

^ oh, you said my thoughts

totally agree!

this is ok, I just can't help but to picture Maryna instead.

 

[Bezimienna]

i have nothing against Karlie, she's amazing... but why she again >_< it's all okay for me, even her facial expression (but no background AT ALL), but please, anyone, how long it will last? she is not a perfect dior woman for me.

 

[Fatalefashion]

Well, all the colors in the pic are good and very Pin Up, something strange happened definitely, Dior death.

Please Dior come back!
