so bland...just like the collection.

i wish they use the asians in the show tbh

 

[Wolkfolk]

I love this, and I'm happy they chose Willy instead of Karl.

what happened to Baptiste by Karl?

What is up with that new font?

 

[Ives927]

At least its not Karl. Thank god.

i love the moodiness and shiftiness of this image. i guess karl didn't do it for them.

What is up with that new font?

I was thinking the same thing

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

That's definitely a beautiful shot. Stunning. However, the new font is quite unnecessary.

so glad it's not Karl anymore...

but this is odd... what is this selling? i doubt it's a lifestyle, nor are they selling the clothes...

Beautiful picture, although I hope that's not the new font. It ruins the mood.

how the clothes make you feel. it's selling sensuality. one might have thought they'd focus on the volume and flow of the collection given how focal they made that on the runway...

if this is supposed to convey 'sensuality', the model ain't doing no good job. i have facebook photos where my friends and i nap which convey 'sensuality' better.

I was actually quite looking forward to Baptiste and Karl, and I thought it was the reason they were both invited to sit front row at the show...

... and yes, the font is hideous.

Hate the new font and you can barely see the clothing being advertised

 

[MyNameIs]

I like the image from the artistic point of view. It's dark and mysterious and just looks pretty. But I don't get it being an advertisement because it does nothing to advertise the clothes or sell the brand for that matter.

i love the works of vanderperre and rizzo and i really like this image but not as an ad. basically what everybody said, doesn't show the clothes, and bad font change..

however, i don't think that's how the final ad is going to look once it's laid out. the use that font on the website but not in the ad.. it's always just dior not dior homme.. unless this is a new change (i hope not).

they may not have succeeded in that attempt, but that's what they strived for....

I would've loved to see the look that MikeIJames posted for the editorials. Something where the jacket was sort of like billowing around and the model is sort of faced away from us but looking back, over the billowing jacket.

This is just not what I was expecting but I think I see where it's coming from. I mean I did feel a little deconstructed vibe running through the base of the collection and correct me if I'm wrong but that looks to be carpet underneath Victor, carpet that's not entirely laid... so I mean it's not entirely unfathomable.

i also like it artistically. but you can't really see the clothes, and the font i'll have to wait to see it irl.
