Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

[justinelm]

this jacket is just unappealing to me no matter the context...

I think that's the bottom line.

I think he looks ok, and sure you may like the look as well ,but to call it strong styling skills is a little exaggerated IMHO. I don't know what I'd call "strong styling skills" myself (Tom Ford? Hint hint), but just wearing an size 54 DH jacket with baggy pants ain't it.

 

[EdK]

was it confirmed that its a size 54? even though its dior a dior 54 is still pretty damn big size. ive seen kanye in person and he aint even that big, you guys are making him out to be arnold schwarzenegger.

I personally MUCH prefer next season above this spring/summer since I can only picture very few people wearing the clothes in a loud or bad way. I like the subtlety and the grown up feel about the clothes, the fact that it is so not inspired by pop culture. I am really sick and tired about the way most celebrities are dressing these days, from Madonna to Nicole Richie, Kanye West to P-Diddy or Jude Law, or any other (MTV) starlet you can imagine.

Maybe "quiet" is gonna be the new "loud" in the future, with a focus on beautiful cut and subtle detailing rather than wearing "that jacket".

I didn't mean it literally that it was size 54, I just kinda guessed. I just figured since Albert use 52 and KW being a black rapper, chances are that he'd be a tad bigger than our asian friend Might have been a 50 or 52 also, I don't really know since I haven't seen kanye at all except one time on Letterman a long time ago, and that was without trying to guess his "size" Anyways this was /is besides the point I was trying to make so it shouldn't matter.

Is there any way that I can view past DH collections online?

Obviously i'm not putting Kanye West on the level of designers such as Tom Ford lol... I meant he had original styling in the hip-hop / entertainment context. Of course it may seem weak in the "i paid $800 on ebay japan for a pre-luster neon pink belt" context that is this forum.

Just compare his style (Gucci/DH/Vans) in the december GQ to the 50cent mag cover and you'll see what i mean... or maybe not

Hey now... I'm a 50 (sometimes a 48) and 31 in jeans. I'm not THAT big!

Anyways, here's a photo of the newest blood wound shirt I've made:

The shirt is 1 size small on me so it's a bit... tight hahaha.

I definitely wouldn't call Kanye's outfit strong styling. How difficult is it to wear a typical baggy hip-hop outfit and put a Dior jacket over it? I'd say there's no real effort there whatsoever. It's like some random hip-hop dude walking into Dior, seeing the jacket, buying it, and putting it on. But to each his own...

Nice, Albert. Once I get my hands on a 37P dress shirt, I'll probably send it to you for some work.

Hehe sorry. It's widely known that TF was more of a stylist than a "designer" so I kinda put that TF thing in as a joke, that he's at least a good stylist. Didn't mean to imply that you in any way compared KW to TF, maybe I should read over my comments more carefully the next time before posting..

actually combining baggy hip-hop clothing with DH stuff is probably a lot harder to pull off than straight ripping runway looks... but my comments about Kanye weren't merely based on that latest pic. he's been sporting DH, LV, Gucci...etc for a while now, has been a fashion editor in complex, nominated best dresser in mtv awards, GQ appearances etc, i've even seen him shopping some dope stuff at colette here in Paris so i think he knows whats up, wouldnt really call him a "random Dior shopper" either but yea, lets agree to disagree

 

[AlexN]

Well, I wasn't exactly talking about whatever it is you were saying, and I was also generalizing, but what-the-f*ck-ever. I'm out of this bitchfest.

Anyone own pieces from the first three collections? Please share.

MTV and GQ aren´t really serious style institutions, but let´s agree to disagree on that topic...

I´ve got a classic three-button, tailored overcoat from Reflection in a felted wool coating, black. Probably one of the most timeless Dior Homme designs, it´s been my first ever purchase of Dior, I think I bought it like, 4 years ago when the collection hit the shops.

It´s a fabulous coat but it doesn´t fit in any way slimmer than recent Dior Homme tailoring, by that, I mean those jackets that have the traditional shoulder padding and fully canvassed front construction.

VOTC prototype wool sleeveless turtleneck w/ leather zipper epaulettes (supposedly a M and I wear XS; if it was any tighter, I couldn't wear it )
Strip resin-coated (or whatever) bleu clair claw mark jeans
Strip stud & chain belt (thanks Drexl)
S/S 05 leather hi-top sneakers (I wish they were Strip grommet sneakers)

[Harryx]

I have a Reflection trench coat, the one featured in the campaign, two Solitaire wool trousers, an amazing Solitaire white shirt (albert was after it ), a shirt from Reflection.
What about you guys?

Thank you very much!


Looking at the older CD collections it almost seems as if Hedi did for Dior what Ford did for Gucci. I would hate to ever see him go!

 

[Djavanjmiles]

Who did the Dior Homme stuff before Hedi?
