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

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

Jonathan is full of sh*t as always, playing on the nose with a 'p*ssy bow,' but it just looks like cheap Dior by Alexis Mabille.

My neck, my back… ahahah this is getting entertaining

Reminds me of Olivier Lapidus debut collection for Lanvin...

“There’s just so much noise. There’s so much crap… And there’s so much not being done,” says Jonathan.

Are you talking about your work at Dior so far, Johnny darling???

The caption under this image makes me laugh so hard: "I believe we actually have to revert back to the eccentric... We all realise we need something to hold on to now that feels very strong and original.” Hilarious choice of words to put underneath an image of the most banal, generic menswear ever. LOL x 1000. This is pure comedy!

The Alexandre, Frédéric and Jean clan (children from a different mother) is laughing so hard right now at these debuts

Women from Arabic countries would not want to order these couture gowns. Chinese millennials also have nothing to buy apart from some Uniqlo looking sweaters.

All Delphine has to do is making money. Not appease fashion critics.
She was involved in choosing Raf and MGC and it proved to be relatively successful no?
She is behind the success of NG at LV, JWA at Loewe and some of the recent hirings.
And given that the flops like Patou or Givenchy under Williams weren’t under her watch, she is clean.

So far, we are getting previews who aren’t related to each other really. But Arabic Women from the gulf do dresses sexy too. When they are among younger women in protected environment…
So why not?

I’m just tired of Dior. I like Mr Anderson but I’m having a Dior Fatigue.

Add Hedi at Celine to the list of her hiring, he was very difficult to convince after Kering's false premises.

i think Hedi was linked more to Bernard and Toledano for reason to come back to LVMH........
i dont feel or ever heard her warm links to hedi ..i can be wrong i am sure others might know more on this to clarify

 

[Lola701]

Delphine has simply that advantage that fashion is the driving force of the group, that she is very involved in fashion and unlike her brothers, mingle with the designers. She started with Galliano.

Toledano has shared indeed that he was always in contact with Hedi anyway but the idea of switching from Phoebe to Hedi may have been impulsed by Delphine.

When Toledano is involved on his own, we get Guillaume Henry at Patou…

She went at least 6-7 times in a year to LA with her husband to convince Hedi and give him many carte blanches and exclusive rights ...

 

[WinstonH20]

So far, all I see with his infantalized vision of the Dior "man" is Ralph Lauren kidswear. I know he probably thinks the preppy style is 'mature' but with the construction and styling choices, I feel like he's always dressing boys rather than men.

I hope his women's show will be more elevated and mature, but after seeing all these awful red carpet looks, I'm worried. What may have felt interesting and quirky at Loewe, feels downright juvenile at a house like Dior.

Off topic, if this Dior failes, will they call Hedi back? Or what is the plan B? It would be interesting if they move Nicolas to Dior like Demna at Gucci.

 

[Squizree]

Plan B is Lindsay Lohan.

 

[Norden]

I don’t think they need a plan b. His Dior will be successful eventually. I think the men’s is so digestible and in a way desirable. Even with all the critiques. I’m a bit apprehensive about the women’s. His messaging and merchandising is always consistent and his aptitude for branding an marketing always feels really well rounded. His Dior might even be more commercial than his predecessor. It’s like airport clothes on steroids.

What I absolutely don’t believe is this promise of creativity from Jonathan and quality from Delphine. Those hollow words are not visible in any of the output so far. Patrick van ommeslaeghe had some good words about that stupid 200k couture coat that kind of said it all about Dior in 2025.

mmmmm...... why risk LV numbers to save dior when dior is half the size of LV turn over numbers
and they don't have a star person to take over LV look what happened to LV men and many season without creative director

as much as i don't like Ng´s LV, his extreme clothes make it seem LV is always new and edgy and not easily understood if you see the show, but this laboratory approach works as then parts/elements of his show items are used to be put on more simple silhouettes and products that are commercial and monogram plastered.

i don't see NG LV fatigue yet the client base is so far removed of his existence at LV ..the just see endless modernized product in the store and buy monogram items

similar KL at Chanel when he did strange silhouettes and very niche inspirations in fashion shows, where the main average chanel client just buy the logo acc and rtw while in media every so often chanel grabbed the attention via show staging or some funny acc or comment from KL etc.

its a funny thing because you want a stronge creative director but then when the commercial products that are derived from the creative directors pure vision , most clients of these brand dont care who is behind it.

that often the power struggle with in these brands as managers or ceo sees that the commercialized items often are company effort to make the products salable and the creative director is just indulging in his fantasy.
where as the Creative director say i feed the maschine with ideas i should be aloud to have more say etc etc and take risks etc etc ...then one gets fired or leaves usually the creative director lol

The first decent womenswear outcome from Jonathan so far, but it's giving Maria Grazia LOL

 

[TurkicMongol]

In Maria Grazia's defense, this could be one of her basic boutique looks and definitely not from her refined couture ones. MGC for red carpet might be bland and boring but JWA is just parading polarized designs that you fails to see his Dior woman who might be wearing questionable historical costume or sexy deep v plunging euro trash dress or MGC leftover.
