Jonathan Anderson - Designer, Creative Director of JW Anderson & Christian Dior

This actually would have been around the time that he did his Topshop collection as well. I don’t think he went near the Topman side of it, but it isn’t too different from his kind of ethos.

I almost hate to say it but for me, what is the most important thing at Dior is to embrace that kind of feminity.
Making a corolle silhouette isn’t really the most difficult or groundbreaking thing you could ask a designer, even more with such a skilled atelier.

MGC didn’t liked Dior or at least his idea of feminity. That’s why she hold on so much on the Bohan era. But while Bohan was known for making wearable, comfortable clothes that helped Dior transcend times, he embraced that kind of feminity…Which makes it Dior.

When Dior came back, it was that idea of « La féminité retrouvée ». You have to be comfortable with it to then twist it. If not, you dilute it to just clothes.

That’s why John got away with so much things!

I think Topman Design did it better way back in 2011 🤪

This looks like Prada in two seasons.

You saying this actually makes me wonder why even took the job. I always thought that she simply found it outdated, but in hindsight, she really didn't like Dior at all. It showed a lot in her interviews, where she'd often say something along these lines: "Dior wasn't that important. He was only there for 10 years."

It's a shame really, because at the time of MGC's appointement, there were plenty of female designers who could've taken her place.

€€€€€ of course.

€€€€€ of course.

And status!
The cachet of having Dior in your resume and the boost of ego of being the first woman at the position.
I would say that maybe a little part of it was the challenge of holding that position alone, for her who has been associated with someone else the majority of her career.

That topshop collection was inspired by Prada in 2010. They did flared mini shorts for men that went straight to clearance.

i went to the dior homme store in orlando and they literally might as well not have it. The window was completely forgettable logowear - looked like one of the brands sidney sweeney works for.

It was empty and filled with just merch. We dont need an entire boutique of Christian Dior atelier pieces. Just a sea of white and dove grey. Absolutely nothing to buy.

^^ They can't be serious with those looks. Looks like something Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Girls" wore circa 2004.

Also, the strategy that Dior has in previewing the womenswear is not it. Bottega Veneta did it ten times better by previewing their womenswear via Cannes Film Festival and Julianne Moore and Vicky Krieps. It was chic and it was impactful, even if the clothes were not that interesting. But still, it was a good move.

A K-Pop star in the year 2025? It's beyond cringe to anyone that isn't one of their rabid stans.

It’s weird because I’m assuming they are costumes so his Dior may or may not look anything like this.


Given how basic they are though, this is probably mostly it.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

All these teasers, going from the very good (Ethel Cain at the Dior show) to the very bad (that shapeless black thing Jisoo is wearing), with all the intermediate stages also covered, put a big question mark about the next womenswear and Haute Couture shows.
Which is maybe exciting but also a little worrying.

 

[Summer Day]

she been linked to dior since raf years before LV paharell lol

she sells how ever clownish she my look these days i agree - with her bad stylist (but this body or not body for high fashion is a bs conversion )

she got kids back to back and dont care to lose weight she still pushes big media attention and sales that's why the keep her close at LVMH.

most eurocentric white actresses don't bring or translate sales like she does period. maybe if they bring taylor swift lol

this RIRI in red ALAIA wont come back for now most likely never, we have to deal with it ! woman post childbearing should do what the f they like and get paid for it well. she can start with firing her stylist that's the only thing we can say....

I think about this look repeatedly

 

[FashionPower]

I don't think JWA was even involved in the slightest way in the design of those stage costumes, they just associated his name to that because of Dior and the PR stunt...have you seen Lisa's costumes allegedly designed by NG? That's no way NG would design something so basic and ugly LOL

 

[Lola701]

It’s an interesting take on the corolle silhouette but again, a stage costume. Therefore something for a specific function and probably, a specific guideline from their management, stylists and everything.
And it also depends on the relationship between the artist and the designer. MGC did the costumes for Juliette Armanet and it’s almost impossible to know that it’s by her whereas with Zaho de Sagazan, it’s clear that the CD is not following a guideline.
