Christian Dior S/S 2021 Paris

I've literally become allergic to those sheer evening gowns she presents each and every season, without fail. I will never look at them without being reminded of her laughable tenure.

I took my time scrolling through this mess looking for something that was actually good...or so awful it inmediately inspired some witty remark, no such luck, as dull as dishwater.
 
It is so hilarious that we can play any show since 2016 and break it down to the same elements. She doesn't evolve, doesn't change or alter her creative direction, doesn't introduce new materials, patterns or techniques. It is all the same, repetitive, boring af and on top of that vulgar (in the sense of bringing down the overall value of the Dior as the house with long and rich aesthetic and tradition). Frankly, it's all about being luxurious Zara and get the money from this cash cow to paid for the fuel to Mr Arnault's private jet.
 
Some of the opening looks remind of Dolce and Gabbana
 
This season, more than ever, we got to see why they worked together so well.

Sorry, but I refuse to limit the scope of PP's work just on his last, disappointing collection (make that two, maybe). He did some great work at Valentino, especially in couture and although now his shapes have become too familiar, he expanded the vocabulary of the house and made it reach now heights.
Those heights he could reach because he didn't have MG's ball and chain at his feet.
She turned out to be the weaker part of the duo, while the world assumed otherwise, and her worked has never, ever even attained one bit of the magic that PP infused in his solo work for Valentino.
They worked together but they are not the same thing at all.
 
Everything is so ill fitting and basic, she really doesn't care at this point.
My thought exactly. It appears this is what she was going for though. Per Vogue journalist Anders Madsen's review of the collection, "Through conversations with the 1960s functionalist designer Nanni Strada, she learned about comfortable garment constructions." (Source: Vogue.com). Really? "Comfortable garment constructions" for Dior?! If this is not an excuse than honestly, I do not know what is.

He is obviously more talented and his Couture is a real testament to his passion for fashion but his RTW has always lacked in something for me. This has been the most frustrating part of his work at Valentino for me...The RTW is just beautiful clothes ready for the boutique that he wraps around a perfect PR statement...And Dior RTW is also the same: beautiful clothes, ready for the boutiques and easy to understand because the silhouettes are the same anyway.
Yes I would wear Valentino 10 times before going to a Dior boutique (let alone corner) but that’s not the subject. It’s ironic that their reaction to what’s going on right now is quite complementary.
