Dior resort 2007 New York

[Foxie-Pooh]

Would the video be posted on the website? I'd love to see it...

 

[Mr-Dale]

Woah! I really love this! I love the couture reference... because it's a subtle one!

I don't think there will be a video... there never has been a resort video there... but who knows!

john says in it "the cruise collection accounts for 40 % of sales" !!

This screams Prada.

It's wearable Dior for the masses.

I love some of the pieces in this collection. This dress is beautiful.

I like that dress too...the funny thing is, I designed a dress similliar to that for my highschool fashion show.

 

[dizzytacks]

looks like i wasn't the only one that thought it seemed prada-ish...

 

[Spike413]

I love a lot of the pieces shown, the colors are beautiful and it's all very, very wearable without being average looking. Of course, the presentation is boring, and it's hardly the imaginative or forwardthinking design that Galliano is so good at, but for a season that is usually very, very boring on all counts this isn't bad at all.

Such a plain collection! Ok,that's why it was showed in NY.

 

[Pastry]

True, but I'll take this over the gaudy disasters Galliano has been sending down the runways lately.

I don't really believe Galliano designed this collection. It looks like an assistant fresh out of design school did this.

maybe that's why i thought it was a new yokr graduate collection..people are arguing the appeal of this collection, but i have to argue that there is none..it's missing one important factor: desirability..that "i want" feeling you get from lanvin or ysl..imo

 

[Zazie]

It's completely uninspiring, and I hate the cut of the jackets. It all looks "old". Lucky for Dior, Chanel isn't better.

 

[ilaughead]

Rather boring collection, but I do like the metallic at the bottom of the dresses. I completely expected something different. I'd like it more if it segued from fall to spring, without so much jump from goth to chic to whatever spring is. This collection didn't have any resemblance to Fall RTW, which was disappointing.

Honestly, i think John has totally lost it. He doesnt know what he is doing now,what he's gonna do next and even, what is good or bad. There isnt a distinctive,coherent image of Dior. Somehow i even miss the days when he completely copied Haute Couture in ready to wear(from ss03 to fw04 i think), cause at least,there was something extravagant, which is Dior. IMO the house of Dior always was, and always should be, all about extravaganza.

But when does extravaganza become indistinguishable from circus?

Galliano has made a circus of the house. And to add insult to injury when you remove the theatrics you see the clothes weren't that nice after all.

Dior was never about extravaganza, glamour maybe, but not extravagance. Dior liked his clothes to make a statement but never a scene. He was well aware that his New Look was a bit regressive for the time but he did it out of a respect for women and not disregard. Galliano has revived all the bad aspects of Dior's New Look. He's translated it into sex, theatre, and an ostentatious perspective on the modern women. Dior himself moved on from the New Look and developed clothes utilizing the A line and H line. Galliano has failed to realize that the New Look was just a temporal development in Dior's goal to define natural femininity, establish grace and stature, and complement a woman's figure. In his later career he found other ways to do that with his clothes.

My thoughts exactly!

But I would extend that to Karl & Marc for LV.
Is it only me or are we all bored with these 3 houses?
Not the same with Donatella, who has made a change at the right time i think

The collection Dior cruise, is totally hideous, I hate the styling, hate the make up, hate the hair, and the dresses are nothing but common pieces...
I loved the casting of the girls though
And I like the fact that cruise collection seems more intimate, and smaller, than the usual shows...but they're not taking advantage of that.

I have never witnessed such a boring collection!!!

Chanel resort was sooo much better! im a bit shocked at how boring the dior show was. what is galliano doing. it looks like Talbots!!

 

[juzuxel]

Some of it is kind of fresh, but it is a pit boring and I don't like how the clothes fit... The fabrics are wonderful and the embelisments are gorgeus. I just wish they would've used different kind of fit and different styles.... (HAIR IS GORGEUS!)
