Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

Yeah .. haha B)

Has anyone noticed lately how nothing on eBay is selling for very much at all?

Yeah, I have noticed. I think in part we have Kdog to thank for that, and more recently 'discounted dior homme' for flooding ebay with listings. But I think Kdog's listings also give kind of a misleading impression because even when he offers up bargains, because his listings are so damn f_ed up, people don't bid. So you're left thinking, wow, not even the jeans are selling at 200 bucks what's with that? But then you look and it's Kdog....

yea i was kinda suprised at how widely cut out it was too. i thought it was going to look like the way it does on luisa. but oh well i had this pre ordered so what the hey. jost i also picked up the short trench, the back flap is so amazing, i noticed that they used this slant seam on this trench and on the bolero blazers.

Yeah, I agree it looks more like an apron than a waistcoat... I actually didn´t think it was that widely cut out on the sides, because it looked good from the runway shots. It´s a nice piece if you go for a layered look, but most definitely with a dark jersey underneath, I don´t like the contrasting look with something white underneath.

i really really like the backless waistcoat, i'm thinking about getting it (even though i sooooo dont have the money and i could easily make it) i would probably do a runway / realway styling with that

i liked the shiney rain coat untill i saw it up close (especially from the back ) so i'm gonna get one similar from vivienne westwood.

i dont really like the jacket above, the seams are dodgey i they're supposed to be pressed open but they're all a bit uneven and twisted, though i like the length oh and the white blazer is soooo nice in person.

here is a better pic of the waistcoat this time tried with a tank, but again not the way i would wear it. victim youre right about how to style it, i think the way its styled on the runway is probably like one of 3 ways to wear this waistcoat, id prolly do the samething. and the side looks mroe cut out when u button it, but if you leave it unbuttoned and tighten the strap in the back it covers most of your sides up to the armpit.

Edk, do you mind posting pics of the short trench? Thanks.

 

[seeing_double]

I would like to see it as well.

 

[tekken418]

me too on the short trench

 

[ionn26]

so what do you guys think of this boots? I am thinking of getting it...

 

[Baizilla]

I like those boots...

.. too bad i would look very silly, if i wore them... or else i would have bought them in a heartbeat

 

[RobbertJan]

great boots! i'd buy those if i'd see a pair

 

[ionn26]

I think so.. but I am having a hard time justify paying $500 for a pair of boots

 

[dorien]

from what website, are you buying the boots from?

BTW, Happy New Years guys/gals.

I am so in love with this Jacket? or whatever.It's just amazing.
EdK,you look good in it.

 

[lee86]

Yeah... i've got my eye on it too....

i hope the auction doesn't go over 1100 GBP though

Hi, i know the seller of the jacket and he would be willing to end it for you at that price, If your interested, contact him asap !

i found this:

from WWD.

ART & COMMERCE: Hedi Slimane's taking a step deeper into the art world. The Dior Homme designer has collaborated with the up-and-coming Canadian artist known as Paul P. on his spring-summer campaign for the LVMH-owned fashion house. Known for figurative studies, Paul P. drew boys in Slimane's Mod-inspired clothes. The results are juxtaposed with photos of models in the same garments. "I wanted this to be a project between the two of us, in addition to a campaign, " explained Slimane in an e-mail. "It just felt like a rare natural connection." Added Paul P.: "It seems that Hedi and I are attracted to the [same] casual beauty found in nature." Dior isn't saying who took the campaign's pictures, but sources said Slimane snapped the shutter. That hardly would be a surprise. Slimane has spent more time behind the lens lately, publishing a series of photography books, including one recently devoted to British bad-boy rocker Pete Doherty. In January, he is scheduled to have his first solo art show at Almine Rech gallery, in Paris.



i gotta say that guy is pretty handy with a pencil though it doesnt capture the dior homme look at all, i dont like the model either.

 

[seeing_double]

...thanks for the article VICTIM

...I agree, I don't think it captures the Dior Homme look, at least not for this seaon anyway (which could be a good thing). I agree with you on the model as well. His body is all wrong.

 

[ionn26]

I thought the art is pretty damn good. especially the colored one... the graphite one is so so... I wonder how much those art would cost...

If the Dior Signature pieces are already costing$9100 for a simple jacket.. then these art piece would be .... $100K starting???

 

[seeing_double]

^What simple jacket costs $9100 ?

Happy New Year
