Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

[seeing_double]

I don't think the invitation is too simple. I like the use of the lines...which hopefully hints at nice lines and cuts in the upcoming collection...

...it is far superior to last seasons invitation...that practically gave me a siezure

 

[Izreal]

the show is happening at the indoor paris tennis club, approximately a 3 minute walk from my flat

anybody got an extra invite / last minute accreditation tip???
i could post up pics within minutes

Could someone please tell me how the fit of the VOTC black canvas jeans compares to that of the S/S 05 version? If a 28 in S/S 05 fits me a bit too tight, would a 29 in VOTC work better? Or did they run way larger in VOTC?

Anyone???

can anyone tell me how much the 06SS trench coat with the slash cut on the back retails for???

 

[tekken418]

dodo999 i am not sure if that is the one butyou can check eluxury.com as they have a short trench listed there

Pardon me, but I think the jacket looks good on this man, after all, these are ready-to-wear clothes that are meant to be worn by a diversity of people. Obviously they are not producing clothes in petite taille exclusive so they HAVE to work on other sizes as well, I don´t see for what reason he should not wear it, or do they require asymetrical haircuts and an indie attitude? I don´t so.

tricotin are you going to the show tomorrow??? Do you have any news in matter of this supposed changing of direction for Hedi???Please tell me....

 

[tricotineacetat]

Yes, I am going to attend it tomorrow and there´s absolutely NOTHING that I know so far, that I could tell you, I am as much wondering as anybody else is!

 

[eodlover]

I'd really like you to have your own pictures as I'm always interested in Hedi shows installations, too: last winter atelier Berthier was amazing in terms of entertainment.....

If you dont mind me asking what do you do as a job to get an invite ?

 

[louis]

THIS actually IS how the invitation looks....

I'm so f4kkin excited

Looks like there's a Dior vigilante on ebay - slowly dispatching non-Dior Homme items one by one.

I applaud Alex for taking the initiative. I wanted to do it for a long time but laziness and apathy prevented me from doing so. I don't give a rat's **** who gains or loses from the sale of non-Dior Homme stuff but I like to see Dior Homme stuff only when I type in the key word "Dior Homme" on the search function. Otherwise, that's a minute of my life gone as a result of scrolling through the non-Dior Homme stuff.

So, good on you Alex. Or is there more than one vigilante?

This is a interesting comment as it brings the question of what constitutes the Dior Homme look? Lanky, slim and tall? Funky haircut? Wearing Dior Homme clothes? Slim cut clothing other than Dior Homme? The swagger? Thin white male only? Female included? Attitude? Surly and sour look? What about short and skinny?

Oh, btw, I agree that the man looked OK with that jacket in that pic.

 

[Fade to Black]

Yeah, I applaud AlexN for taking the initiative to expose these b*tch *** frauds on eBay...it's really getting out of control, I was on ebay a few hours ago and there this dude auctioning off some 80's acrylic cardigan that has "dior" on the chest, very clearly trying to pass it off as DIOR HOMME, and that sweater was at $114 last time I checked. Disgusting.

I don't think the man looks THAT bad in the jacket either. I think the name on the label inside of the jacket really generates the negative opinions. Most peoeple wouldn't have a problem with it if the jacket was say YSL or Gucci, ect. but they do because we are biased toward the Dior Homme aesthetic. (Not that I do not feel a bit of that myself ) Dior Homme has been merketed through the use of young, thin, and lanky boys. This man is most certainly not lanky, nor young (but I know many on this thread are not young boys either). I am not trying to judge on one's age, I am just saying that it seems age plays a role in the Dior Homme "look," as well as weight, hair, ect. I completely agree with tricotineacetat that the line is RTW, and the company has to produce items for most body types. It is rather like women's fashion, the clothes certainly look better on 6'0, 110 lbs. girls, but not everyone has that body.
