Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture F/W 2025.26
I have to be honest, most of the men I’ve seen in his Dior looked pretty unremarkable. Despite being a good designer, his clothes kinda lacks in personality...Or maybe a lot of Dior customers have terrible style...Or a total absence of style.
It’s a pity because I think his Vuitton was very directional! It sold you a taste, an aesthetic. Here we just have pieces...
Not that I'd very much enjoy this collection, but I am still a bit surprised about the controversy the more voluminous shape of the trousers are receiving when they have shown up elsewhere before (with even wider legs at Lemaire) and have not seen any negative response then. Personally, I find it nice to have a bit of variety in silhouette and a more loose, wide-legged pant has been (at least for me) the easiest way to incorporate that.
Having grown up during the splendour of Tom Ford’s illustrious Gucci reign, switching between full/wide-leg pant and a more tailored fitted pant is as common as alternating from a Marlon Brando classic fitted motorcycle jacket to an Alain Delone full-length trench. These Dior pants do admittedly look well-cut— unlike the Lemaire-versions that look comically raver-extreme.
@jeanclaude: IKEA products have more presence and personality than Kim’s designs, frankly. There’s always a solid quality coat from this Dior like the opening one, and everything else is like department-store wallpaper and elevator music: Inoffensive, nondescript and bland. No wonder he’s a success in these inoffensive, nondescript and bland fashion days.
^^^ Does he have any supporters on TFS…??? Of course he's a success... But if he didn’t have the Dior brand (and the Vuitton brand) on his wears, no one would be buying any of his aesthetic: He and his fashions is the personification of nondescript— like a department store's in-house brand that churns out their accessible versions of designer on a factory schedule.
Like Johannes already posted— he’s the male Maria Grazia. And for once in the brand’s existence, the men’s and women’s are perfectly attuned to one another: Solid and wearable high-quality clothes— and also perfectly bland and creatively-void. If money was no object and I were shopping, I would and could definitely pick up a handful of stuff at his Dior Men (bite your tongue, Fulton: this person is never going o be worthy of being mentioned in the same breathe as Hedi’s Dior Homme…). And that’s the secret of his success: Just generic, well-made clothes for the rich.
