kind of boring but I guess we have to wait and see how it looks in print

I think it's fun and eye-catching. I don't think it will leave a lasting impression, though. They should have come up with something stronger for the first Dior campaign under Raf Simons. Especially because it's been a while since we got a Dior RTW campaign. Also, I really think Daria should have been the main girl here, it's too confusing with the random other girls popping up everywhere and Daria not being the main focus in all shots. And I'm a bit disappointed by the fact that the looks I hated in this collection are the ones being most prominently featured while the amazing suits are only seen in the background. It's not that bad, but I just find this really weird.

I know everyone has their own opinion, but excuse me...people who says that Raf's Dior is real Dior...Minimalism and THIS? Really?

Well but i'm sure we wouldn't expect Raf (or any designer for that matter) to produce collections like that, afterall we don't live in 1950's Paris and that's not excly the looks of today's women. He's taking bits and pieces from that look and inspiration and interpreting to a modern woman's wardrobe, and I think he's doing it incredibly well. People just need to accept changes.

I know this seems like a dumb question but is thier 5 or 6 models in the campaign, I cant really tell

Daria Strokous, Anna Martynova, Lida Fox, Diane Conterato, Nicole Pollard and Marie Piovesan.
Not completely sure if there's anyone else though, need to see HQ's.

 

[ParisianChic]

So happy for Nicole Pollard.

It don't think Lida Fox is it, looks to be just the other 5!

Anyways I really like! It seems to be a modern parody of the old Dior ads like the ones that navyvelvetbowtie posted earlier. Love the cast too!

 

[StoneSkipper]

I didn't see Lida Fox... Is that Caroline Farneman next to Marie in the first and last shots?

Oh i'm sorry, I thought she was the one in the pink flower skirt. Anyway I do think there's someone else.

 

[Dutchhie]

Might be a long shot, or just wishfull thinking but is it Marine D. siting next to Daiane in the 3 shot on the first page or is it Marie...

 

[Thefrenchy]

AMAZING! It reminds me of some kind of futuristic version of a painting.

This season the biggest campaigns are the biggest disapointments
I imagine an Ad so much richer and more full than this one, i'm depressed with the campaign theese season...Chanel, Fendi, Dior, Armani...too many great collections for such weak results

 

[lepetitcouturier]

I love this, frankly. I like the emptiness feeling of it, but it seems full, too. Which is a good thing. HOWEVER, the casting is just too overwhelming.
Here's what I'd like to have seen:
-Daria alone (but in a Prada Spring 2008 way)
-Daria and Kati (i'm biased because they're my favourite models at the moment)
-Daria, Kati, Sasha Luss and Suvi (maybe with Nastya thrown in there)
I can't really see how many models are in it, but theres too many. But even though Raf seems to be getting full of himself, I can still trust him for an amazing campaign.

And now let me share with you the 50's elegance of Monsieur Christian Dior.

I have to SERIOUSLY agree. What Monsieur Dior did at the time was outrageous. He was extremely outrageous with everything he did. When people say Galliano wasn't Dior, that his stuff was too over the top, blah blah blah, they don't realize that what Galliano did was outrageous for OUR time. It's hard to explain, but Dior took women and made them into creatures of their time. Thats what Galliano did, not Raf.

I agree 100%

 

[Jenna16]

It looks more like a lookbook than a campaign, IMO.

It also doesn't help that I'm not that impressed with Raf for Dior. Great points being brought up about how Raf's collections are not fitted for Dior.

 

[Marc10]

they don't realize that what Galliano did was outrageous for OUR time.

Except that was hardly any modernity in almost all of Galliano's work. While his "outrageous" collections were extremely beautiful to look at in the shows, magazines and red carpets, most of the time they looked like museum garments reinterpreted, and that's not vanguardist for OUR time. People like Chalayan, Kawakubo, McQueen and even Raf in the past managed to be outrageous and modern at the same time. I fail to see how John did so.

 

[VogueDisciple93]

Looks too much like a video game.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

this is bar far the most disappointing campaign i think i've seen coming from a big house like Dior. It's as if you need to see every ad to even be remotely interested. All of that white wall is so mundane and makes me think of a hospital
