Christian Dior haute couture spring 2018



I am just flummoxed! How embarrassing on the anniversary of Christians Dior’s birthday to present a collection that barely has any thread of DNA connecting it to the eponymous designer. Mama Mia Maria has gone back  to her Valentino days and presented more than just a bit of transparency, more than just a bit of pathetically wasted  couture abilities and in general a collection that could pretty much be anyone’s … well  anyone who possesses a modicum of talent having just graduated design school and  with no clue about reality.

My guess is that these are the clothes to be worn behind closed doors at Middle Eastern ladies only events since most women wouldn’t be caught dead in the stuff out in public unless you got paid to wear it or for that matter in fear of being obscenely dressed in public and branded a whore.  For someone who professes to be the great feminist can Mama Mia Maria possibly objectify women  any more than with barely covered boobies, granny panties and knee high hose… it is much more like fetish central rather than couture. I’m sure there is some high minded blah blah bah to accompany all this but once again unless you carry romance cards and pass them out when wearing who cares?

Granted there are some pieces that can pass for pretty and maybe even a couple that can pass for beautiful but in general it is a lot of scenery and backdrop for not a lot of main attraction. Yes, the shoes are better, yes the girls looked washed, too bad they look like they are going to some costume epic rather than to a grand evening gala or chic dinner... and by god .. No slogan tee shirts!!

What an immense waste of resources of couture ateliers to produce such mediocre clothes that bear the name of probably the most valuable heritage brand in the world….. Triste!
