Christian Dior S/S 2017 Paris

Yes, I'm almost saying that I'm missing Raf, but I will keep my pride.
This collection is so ridiculous. OK, you guys wanna do a young Dior, fine, but you don't need to do clothes to teenagers!
What kind of person put t-shirts like these ones in a Dior show? It's like the final and ultimate blow in this house. Dior is dead now, this that I'm seeing here it's another brand.

This is so bad. T-shirts with silly (and already heard) sentences, the same old Valentino dresses and "Dior" lingerie? I don't see any design, any inspiration. My bad, there is an inspiration actually and it's all her (and Pierpaolo's) previous collections at Valentino. The only thing that is connected to Dior is the fact it was written upon the clothes and in the name of this thread. If I had seen this collection and had been asked what it was, I'd have answered Valentino without any doubts.

Look at the girl's face
If you watch the video you will see that she is not happy about the collection.

Those fencing inspired jackets make me think of straight jackets actually...

Even the venue looks like a Valentino venue. This is ridiculous.

This makes me wonder what the actual Valentino collection will be, will it be like this or will it be like Valentino when the duo had just arrived - around 2010.

I am laughing so hard. This girl has no shame.

Even the first fencing look, with the heart patch is nothing original:

This is a collection based on the top 10 selling pieces on Net-A-Porter. Period.

Nail on the head, here!

It's an absolutely ridiculous collection - beyond insipid - and it wreaks of corporate control. Hate it!

Dior is dead. They thought after Galliano they would need to keep tight control over their creative directors - but what they don't realize is that they've slowly, but surely, suffocated all the life out of the house.

Yes, you're Back!!!

The only thing that I like is that she put the Bee into the collection making more cohesive with Dior Homme.

This collection is extremely well-made but it made me realize how gimmcky and how repetitive she can be. I mean, we will have to wait until Valentino's new collection and see. But the fact that she would just repeat her own idea from Valentino is just sad. Maybe the Valentino people are laughing so hard right now.

I bust out laughing at "we should all be feminists"

It's just so out of place! Honestly, I don't even know why they went with the idea as she didn't even bother to expand on it.

The redeeming feature of this collection is of course the fact that she just about cleared up the debate regarding who the mastermind behind Valentino's women collection was. Yet at the same time quadrupling the stakes for Pierpaolo. No way could he continue even trying to replicate what they've (she's) been doing. He'll have to start beating his own drum and hope it's receptive, and that he doesn't lose regulars in the process. Because the way I see it, a army of regular Valentino customers are bound to jump ships, the type who lap up her '1001 variations of the same silhouette' season after season.

maybe because they will be cheap (in comparison) so teenagers can get their hands on something "Dior"?

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Where is Dior? Did she forget which house which house she was designing for? Overall it looks like a capsule collection for Valentino. It has absolutely nothing to do with Christian Dior. I'm quite shocked at how Un-Dior it actually was. It's obviously pretty but that's not good enough. Maybe she'll hit a home run for couture?

 

[frk-frost]

I am not at all wow'ed by this but I don't hate it. I also think I prefer her style over Raf's :cool2: She needs to work on the silhouette right away though, because it's definitely not Dior enough.

Newp.

This is just Valentino without the occasionally impressive details. Next please.
