Raf -- Raf – Raf -- I have to hand it to you; if the Wang
couldn’t turn haute couture into contemporary sportswear you decided to take up
the cause. What are you smoking? I am sure there is some blah blah blah about
all your esoteric theories and reasons as to why you decided to add to grease
monkey coveralls to the vocabulary of the Haute Couture and why you think
paratrooper pants and zippers are essential to the couture wardrobe but I am
not buying what you are selling. As for you re-defining the couture, I find
that you are denigrating it much more. The fawners and pundits will just wet
themselves over this one.
To my eye Raffie seems to be rather confused as to what
season he just showed as much of it is very summerlike and then there are a
slew of coats and jackets which were the high point of the presentation as I
will keep saying that Raf has no clue about what a woman wears and why when it
comes to a dress. Back to the coats again which many were variations of the
classic Dior jackets and then there were simple bathrobe or cardigan styles
which surely could be considered generic at best. Some of the embroidered edged
styles were beautiful but so not anything to do with Dior or the presentation
as a whole unless one says that flowers are the theme in the loosest possible
sense. I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANY AND THAT WAS this segment of the collection.. the
coats and jackets etc; might as well be Victor Joris for Cuddle-coat.. google
it!!
Let’s address the 16 year old virginal girls that modelled
with scrubbed faces and black shoes. Why? Surely they did nothing for the
clothes but then again the only thing that might have been beneficial to most
of it is a bon fire. Many of the pieces look tortured and odd as Raffie has a
propensity for thinking that women are flat ……… everywhere! Then there were
several shapeless pieces with unflattering hem lengths and of course how can I
omit the notice of his scalloped hemlines and peplums. One really must question
if this man was ever at a fitting or in a dressing room with a woman let alone
ever selling a dress to a client. Clearly he has some issue to deal with when
it comes to women. My other biggest issue is if Raffie has any clue about what
the Dior archive is all about let alone what the ateliers are capable of.
Must I really go on here as even I am getting bored talking
about it. So in the end I will let Suzy Muchless and Blah Blah Banks rave until they experience sexual nirvana but as for me .. Well I take my
coffee light and I’ll have a croissant with it. Next!!!!
PS.. without the name Dior next to his, Raffie is a just a talentless gnome
..ooopsy!! that just slipped out!
