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

The footwear so far is abysmal, both men’s and women’s. Honestly the shoes at his namesake brand look ten times better; more luxurious and much more expensive in feeling. Why?! I thought it was the same shoe designer?
 
There are many things I don’t understand, but first of all, I hold the celebrity stylists responsible for letting their clients wear these middle-of-the-road looks. It’s like they’re doing their jobs with their eyes closed.

Second, I know it’s Dior, a major house, but why flood the carpet with “previews” all at once?
Didn’t Delphine say Dior should focus on quality? Then prove it: design one knockout dress for one actual A-lister. Instead, we’re drowning in mediocrity and overexposure. Not a single look stood out. Or well, that blue dress on Alba stood out for all the wrong reasons. Honestly, it would’ve been smarter to skip the red carpet entirely before the debut.

As for Dior’s PR strategy under MGC, they kept pushing for more and more placements, on and off the red carpet. In the end, they even invited D-list influencers to the show and totally diluted the brand. If I’m not mistaken, Mathilde Favier is still running PR for the women’s side—and it’s not like she just started on the job.

Yes, we can criticize JWA, though I doubt how much direct involvement he actually has in these looks. But let’s analyze the circumstances that allow this kind of mediocrity to happen.

As for the Mikey Madison video, come on. I like her, but a ‘what’s in my bag’?
How about designing something desirable first—then we can talk about marketing gimmick.

End of rant :lol:
 
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!

"J Dubs" 🧐
 
^What is he even up to? No designs in almost 2 years and no leaks about his next movements ever since he declined to renew his margiela contract. I guess there’s still some time left on his non-compete.

I hope these women’s RTW previews are for resort 2026 I’m not exactly pleased to see them the first time let alone a second time on the runway…

The first thing that popped into my mind upon seeing Anna Sawai’s shoes is New York’s “old maiden type of shoes” monologue from Celebrity Big Brother
