I like the look on Anya.

So far I haven’t been impressed with his men’s rtw on the runway and now that the looks are starting to trickle onto the red carpet, I’m less impressed. It’s awkward proportions and ill fitting or just boring.

The look on lakeith while not bad, looks very thrifty and basic. I’m noticing his textile decisions are shockingly bad at Dior so far

FASHION’S HISTORIC SHAKE-UP

JONATHAN ANDERSON for
DIOR
Mr. Anderson, 40, made fashion history when he became the first Dior designer since Christian Dior himself to be in charge of both women’s and men’s wear for the house. (Moreover, Mr. Dior dabbled only in men’s pieces and never did a full collection, so in some ways Mr. Anderson is a pioneer.) An 11-year stint at Loewe, where he took the brand from largely irrelevant to one of the hottest names in fashion, with an estimated $2 billion in revenue, convinced LVMH, which owns Dior, that Mr. Anderson was the man to unite the two sides of the couture house. If that wasn’t a big enough gig, he’s still moonlighting as Luca Guadagnino’s costume designer.

these looks feel so desperate and lacklustre at the same time

 

[aa2005]

I like Greta but she feels so indie/normcore to be a Dior ambassador but maybe that’s the point. Everything should be exciting for this launch and it just feels exhausting that I’m struggling to stay engaged. Like the first appetizer was so bad even if the entree is superb I won’t want to try it now. Checked out.

we need celebs wearing dresses over jeans at events again immediately. these ambassador stunts are so embarrassing for everyone.

Dior Is Adding a RTW Expert to Its Management Committee​

Michela Kalb becomes director of haute couture, women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, women’s shoes, and baby, effective Oct. 1.

Michela Kalb COURTESY OF DIOR

Dior has recruited Michela Kalb, a merchandising wizard from Louis Vuitton, to become its director of haute couture, women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, women’s shoes, and baby, effective Oct. 1, WWD has learned.

Dior confirmed her appointment and said Kalb would join the management committee.
It marks a return to the French house for Kalb, who was director of women’s ready-to-wear at Christian Dior Couture from 2006 until 2017, when she moved over to Vuitton to work in the same capacity under Nicolas Ghesquière, the brand’s artistic director of women’s collections.

“I am delighted that Michela and Dior’s paths are crossing once again,” Delphine Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of Christian Dior Couture, said in an internal announcement seen by WWD.
“I am convinced she will draw on her vision and knowledge of the house, as well as on her extensive product expertise, to develop ever more desirable collections, working in close collaboration with the creative direction.”

Kalb officially starts on the day Jonathan Anderson stages his first women’s runway show since he was officially named creative director of women’s, men’s and haute couture collections last June.

The Northern Irish designer, 40, becomes Dior’s eighth couturier, and made his debut at Dior menswear with a show in Paris last June.

Calling Kalb “a leading expert in ready-to-wear,” Dior noted that she started her career as a women’s rtw buyer at Italian department store La Rinascente, later working in merchandising roles at Prada and Miu Miu ahead of her long stints at Dior and Vuitton, the star brands of luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

Dior and Anderson are in the midst of reinforcing and rejiggering teams. Recent additions include Peter Utz, global public relations director, men and women, and responsible for celebrity relations; and Alberto Dalla Colletta, who followed Anderson to Dior from Loewe, where he was most recently design director of rtw.

Looks like a vintage Rodier catalogue...he is obsessed with knits at Dior for no reason at all.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

^ he’s always been obsessed with knits. It’s easy money to be honest so I don’t blame him but still it’s a bland take when they’re so common looking.

Not even an attempt at a knit bar silhouette or even a Bohan-esque barrel off the shoulder silhouette for something for oversized and identifiable.

 

[Frederic01]

He’s obsessed with putting bows on everything. It looks ridiculous and twee and very dated, and I don’t understand why he insists on it as a motif? It looks like something out of a Gossip Girl episode, and not really modern at all.

 

[Thefrenchy]

They need to stop immediately with all these celeb placements and let us breathe before the show because I'm getting Dior fatigue FOR REAL.

 

[style_expert]

It's good to hear they're putting together a new team at Dior, because honestly, they'll need all the help they can get to make this tenure a success.

Will Peter Utz be replacing Mathilde Favier?

WWD should have to flag #ad like influencers do when they are paid promoting in a post.

The new House of Dior is gorgeous and it is steps away from where Christian Dior first opened in the US in 1948. Congratulations @jonathan.anderson, Delphine Arnault, and the entire @dior team.

What a strange tone for the caption... as if the old Dior was the same as Coco Chanel's Nazi affiliation

It’s not exciting anymore because LVMH floods everything with PR. There’s no room for the audience to breathe or build any genuine interest, it’s just overexposure. They throw their big D around and at this point it’s obnoxious.

I think the sweater is cute enough. They may do well to expand their knitwear category a la Chanel.

 

[george5]

omg I've been in tears of laughter for days because this is a trainwreck. if they wanted a short tenure until they find another John Galliano they should have put Hedi there to make skinny bar suits.

Delphine really thought hiring her gay bestie was a good idea
