I am somewhat finding the proportions of 'petite taille' clothes to look odd on most women, did you ever notice how wide the arms are cut? I think the whole cut doesn't look as if it was really taking into account a petite person, noone with that small shoulders would have arms as big as that!

I like the roomier/relaxed look on women. It makes it more casual, that could be a good and bad thing.

I don't know for what reason that is, maybe it has to do with the fabrics why I am not entirely convinced with the way petite taille looks like on most women. The cut is not exactly relaxed, because the structure and the fabrics still demand for a little bit of discipline to wear these kind of clothes It would have probably been a bit different if the suits would be a tiny bit looser-cut, still with these narrow shoulders, but maybe with a more relaxed trouser, a dropped waistline or a more fluid, less perfecto-looking fabric. Maybe it's the sleekness of Dior's clothing that I don't really relate with that relaxed attitude.
 
Ahhh, I can totally see that. It is a bit awkward, I guess it depends on how you wear it.
 
tricot, by any chance have you have seen any of Cerutti's stuff in person? How did they come about hiring Taralis for the job, not that I'm not excited about it - just extremely curious :flower:
 
It was recently announced that he would become creative director of the house, but they haven't shown a collection yet. WWD says that they'll debut next season, A/W 2006.
 
Most of the clothes are really cool and trendy! But a lot of it looks too gay...tight leather pants.
 
Quite simple!
A complete vegetable diet (until you weight ~40kg)
have long+messy hair
wear skinny jeans + unknown indie rock band t-shirt
(lots and lots of make up)
and then go to the Dior flagship on the av Montaigne everyday (and spend billions)
 
The Avenue Montaigne is probably one of the most exclusive streets in the world.
It is located in Paris just near the Champs Elisées (in the "Triangle d'Or).


BTW Most of the people I know who have seen Hedi were in underground indie rock bars or something like that...

PARIS, July 4, 2006 - There they all were at the Dior Homme show on Tuesday evening - Fashion’s extended family.

On the Editorial side: Suzy Menkes, Cathy Horyn, Virginie Mouzat, Anna Wintour (currently being played on screen by Meryl Streep), Grace Coddington, Glenda Bailey, and Stephen Gan.

On the VIP side: Karl Lagerfeld, Pierre Bergé, and Betty Catroux.

On the LVMH Side: Bernard Arnault, Dephine Arnault, and Sydney Toledano.

On the Superstar side: Elton John and Mick Jagger.

But nobody wanted to talk about the subject on everybody’s mind. Barring some 11th hour miracle, this was to be Hedi Slimane’s last collection for Dior Homme, if as widely reported, contract talks have indeed broken down.

Sydney Toledano shrugged his shoulders at the very mention of the word ‘contract’.

Pierre Bergé spoke in a heartfelt manner. “I will always be faithful to Hedi,” he said.

But it was Fashion’s outspoken grandpa, Karl Lagerfeld, one who LVMH officials would probably liked to have locked in a closet, that said: “Hedi will just have to make clothes for somebody else. I’m a designer follower, not a label follower. And I’m certainly not wearing the clothes of Kris Van Ascche.”

The show began in an atmosphere of high tension as a robotic arm, holding a clump of speakers, moved the entire length of the long catwalk. In the background lyrics played: “We looked good together. Is this love? Cause I don’t know myself”

And out came a groundbreaking collection, one that proved Hedi Slimane’s visionary talent beyond doubt. His fine, graphic silhouette was feminine, with small male British models looking at times more like girls than boys. So what if one boy lost his pants, it only proved his sex to startled editors on the front row.

Leather tops, leather leotards, and T-shirt-quasi-blouses formed the foundation on which skirts fluttered, oversized shirt tails draped, and jet sequins streamed. A mesh shirt was crossed like a halter, an oversized bolero sparkled with glittering silver and crystal embroidery, a vest was ripped into a series of shimmering shards. One dress-like top of apricot chiffon had the VIP side gasping in awe. These were clothes that transcended any traditional codes, yet reinforced the linear beauty of the human form.

If the high-powered women editors needed proof that Hedi could design for women, they got it.

So the finale came, in silence. A model with angels wings attached to his back beat a tambourine as he led a flock of shirtless boys (black and white cordons fixed over their hearts) down the long runway. They walked to the end and then disappeared into the darkness of backstage. As they went out of sight, they metaphorically crossed onto an imaginary road leading to an unclear destination.

Hedi’s appearance on the runway was brief, and backstage he stood alone in a little cubicle. Like a flash of lightening, a super angel, Mick Jagger, appeared almost as out of thin air. “It was really incredible, Hedi,” he said, putting a hand on the designer’s shoulder.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
 
I had read that article earlier^^^ Karl's quote is hilarious. I love cantankerous old men.
Has anyone seen the new Homme Plus magazine? There's a pic of that silver baseball type jacket (with the skrunched arms). Apparently the entire thing is ruched. It looks VERY cool and intricate. The thing is also leather so I don't even want to guess how much it will cost.
I'm more excited about this season than I have been for Dior in awhile, I think there is going to be some great stuff.
