Why do you like/hate Dior?

I adore his work, but of course his runway clothes are unwearable, just like they normally are for many other well known designers. I think much of his clothing (especially much of his mens accessory line) is overpriced. I'm sorry but to me, $200 for a rubber bracelet with John Galliano written on it in his signature text... is just simply not worth the money when people are starving in third world countries that need the money so much more. At the same time its simply the price you pay for vanity while buying the chance to be able to brag about wearing one of the most controversial and arguably hottest designers in the world. I will never understand why some designers decide to use the runway mostly for drama and others decide to make it mostly real... it would be interesting to see if one of the stereotypes generally make a considerable amount of more money.

...And yet the more talented ones make less because Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears don't advertise them, flaunting their clothing by these said designers. The more talented ones have no need of selling themselves, nor do they care, their idea of design transcends the vanity of looking glamorous and weird.

I hate it how Galliano puts either his name or "Dior" on anything he makes. He advertises himself far too much, hes way too full of himself but then again you cant blame the gay society too much...

 

[ShesElectric]

I believe it was Gaultier who said it (I could be wrong) "You can have fashion, or you can have a show" For the most part, Galliano has produced more of what I'd like to watch than wear. Though if my memory is correct, Gaultier has done about the same imo.

It's because of Galliano that Dior is as big as it is.

I could argue that it's because of Paris Hilton...

 

[Doctor Caroline]

Paris Hilton is pretty much a walking advertisement for all labels and brands which is rather stomach turning if you ask me cuz nothing is lower than seling ureself like that...i cant really think of a celebrity lower than Paris Hilton.
And even though Galliano is one of my least favorite designers Id stand by him against Paris any day cuz at least he has his designing kills to flaunt, she has nothing.

haha..i actually like how he loves him self so much..or else he would be dull like alot of other designers

but truly..i like his early days at dior
amazing coutures he did back than

most of his work after 2000 were just for show..and to be honest..alot of them i dont like

i do like how..as if all of a sudden..darkness fell on 2005..comparing to pre 2004 shows
good stuff

The egyptian couture show kicked *** it was beautiful ,obviously unwearable but I would have loved to be front row at that show. I think Galliano needs some fresh air an more inspiration he brought the house back, He has had some great collection but the ready to wear stuff for the last year or so hasnt been as sexy or well designed as it used to be. An I love his bright glass an chromed out stores.

He seems like a pretty cool guy to hangout with.

I'm surprised seeing so many people at the fashion spot talk about Dior like this. We all know Galliano doesn't do the same work as Dior himself did, but it is still great; just in a different way. Galliano succeeds in shocking us almost every season, unlike any other designer.. his haute couture is art and his ready-to-wear is so stylish and cool.. I don't know what else you could ask for.... Oh, and his "logoed crap" is keeping them in business.

 

[j´adore dior]

Gallianoboy if I really hated the guy and wanted to mock him I would in a way unimaginable to yu, I could easily make the "Hate Dior Club" but it just happens to be that I'm decent enough not to, so before you go pretending to kow what I think of John make sure you know what this forum is called: "Why do you like/hate Dior?" Think about it Gallianoboy or should I say Gullable boy

the least thing i wan´t is to pick a fight with someone i don´t either know or care about, but i really have to say i think you are very rude and shout, i don´t know, take yoga lessons or something like that because it looks that you are releasing your frustrations or wathever through Galliano´s work for Dior, i mean, as Gallianoboy said, there are thousands of threads about this topic, literally!, the ones who hate him always argue his clothes and shows are unwearable and for whores, but he also dresses charlize theron, anna wintour, anna piaggi, isabella blow, nicole kidman, etc..., we all know he´s way of presenting a collection is through a story, its a marketing strategy, he makes headlines with the most beautifully made costumes, because they aren´t just vulgar costumes, they are the most amazing, head turning, perfectly executed costumes in the world, that had required moth of extensive influence research and intellectual thought and actually if one cares to look closely enaugh at each of his Dior collections, you´ll find christian Dior´s references on it.

i don´t know why i even bothered to go through this thread, but oh yeah it said Dior on it´s tittle and i only open threads about designers i like or find interesting, i don´t like marc jacobs or heatherette for example and haven´t once cared to read one sentence about them, why wasting my time on them when i could be searching for other threads with subjects i really care for, like Dior´s, Versace´s or Valentino´s?, isn´t that an unproductive way of spending my time?, will a negative quote make me feel any better?, no, will the fact that i discovered a new interesting detail about a designer i admire made me feel cool?, yes, does someone i don´t respect his work deserve my attention or my haterism?, no.

ps 1: that amazing spring-summer 2004 haute couture collection inspired by ancient Egypt as the rest of his colletions, was filled with wearable dresses and ideas, one only have to be creative or have the vision enaugh to make it work, but yet again, is only reserved for a special few, how ironical!

ps 2: can´t wait for his next Haute Couture collection coming on july 5th.

lol Thank you for calling me rude Ill take it as a compliment As for the rest of that newspaper article u sent u misunderstood me. I wasnt trying to take anything out using Galliano, Id never do something so p*ssy. I was just giving my opinion. You're obviously in love with the guy and his designs and I simply dont "'j'adore" him as much as u. I never said i hated him, his earlier works were very wearble. I have two Dior handbags and they're very stylish. U misunderstood.

I would argue that Tom Ford is even more in love with himself but thats just my perception. I think its funny though how both of them have created image in such different ways yet they've both made it so huge and recieved so much hatred from the fashion world. Tom Ford created the image of sex appeal through smart advertisement, but plain clothes. Galliano created image through the drama and creativity in his fashion shows that made magazines go crazy over, ranting and raving or bitching and moaning about them incessantly. People may not like Galliano's clothes but I think theres no denying that there is creativity there whether its wearable or not, ugly or beautiful.

 

[Baizilla]

Dior of today is feminine in a dragqueen/prostitute kind of way, predatorily sexy and euro-trashy. If this is "visionary" I don't think I want to see what the future looks like.

Beautifully put

you are welcome Diorling

i stand for what i said on my previous post, i´ve had some few arguments with other spoters about Galliano before but you are probably the simplest and most irresponsible one, it seems you didn´t even read that whole "newspaper article" i wrotte, or don´t even remember, or are willing to stand for the things you´ve said, anyway, you got me there, i do admire his work and his contributions to the fashion world, the most important one, of course, is the re-establishment of the "bias cut" and his ability to mix influences and cultures from all over the world and periods of history in collections that are so endlessly inspiring and influential, even his last couture collection, i don´t know why i gave it a bad review back then, i guess i was being stupidly narrow minded enaugh not to get the whole passion and energy that was going through it.

ps: j´adore Dior.

 

[Pastry]

Dior of today would probably have been more like a mixture of Yohji Yamamoto, Jil Sander and Prada.

i think this is a very nice to put it..

 

[Pastry]

and just a little note to gallianoboy, it always helps to argue your point. it's healthy...

 

[dorien]

as far as for Homme, it is definately not for everyone, and thank god for that.

 

[M0radkhan]

You're so right. I so liked the other collections, but the recent designs are creeping me a bit out.

ugh for God's sake boy stop making your articles so long and boring (like Galliano's clothes). My comment may have been simple but most certainly not irresponsible.
