Dior Men Pre-Fall 2026 Paris

You guys should get on Delphine’s DMs with this feedback because I don’t think anyone is lol

So cynical.

And so very lazy but expected since his Dior menswear just gives slightly elevated Uniqlo collab with a few demi-couturey designs thrown in. This sort of baroque mixed with denim/utilitarian/prep school elements has been done to death in mainstream men’s publications and has been a Polo Ralph Lauren signature. It was kind of cool back in the 90s when David Bradshaw would style some of the Arena stories like this; or Paolo Roversi would shoot his dreamy, romantic vision of a past gentleman for i-D mixed with streetwear; or when Judy Blame would pay tribute to Rey Petri with this sort of proper English bespoke mixed in a multicultural sensibility (but multiculturalism mixing is apparently frowned upon these self-segregating days)… But they never look like neutered boys. And any victim that buys those skorts will wear it maybe 3 times before they’re dropped off to consignment. The young men look so emasculated wearing them anyway. But I suppose that’s the point of his creepy fetish for this brand.

the cuff-up-cuff-down pants 'affectation' does nothing but draw attention to how bad the shoes are.

Honestly, at this point we’re all doing free labor with the amount of feedback poured into these threads. She can handle her own market research, TFS has truly already given more than enough consult.

And yes, Maria needed to move on, but he really shouldn’t have been in consideration here. His work at Loewe was already showing its limits, and parachuting him into their crown jewel doesn’t magically resolve those issues. He belonged where he was, not promoted into a role that requires a completely different creative vision.

This hiring is no better than Sabato at Gucci. The difference is that LVMH has a bigger di… I mean budget, infrastructure, and PR confidence to mask their questionable appointment. The execution so far isn’t stronger and strategy cannot long term compensate for a weak fit.

They wanted to act like they support creativity with his appointment and here we are with the most banal merchandise

A bad copycat from Gucci by Michelle.

Perfect for the aristocratic Neuilly-Sur-Seine / Les Invalides / Passy youth.

It’s all so soulless and sterile, even with the baroque flourishes. It’s stuck between banal and conceptual with no clear intent on who the customer is. I believe menswear should always come with pragmatism even in the showy pieces.
