Dior pre-fall 2018



Well folks here you have it … THE DUMBING DOWN OF DIOR

There is nothing really wrong with the clothes other than they carry the label DIOR.
Hum drum commonplace yawn worthy clothes that if you take away the tailoring you are left with the boring parts of Dana Buchman, Ellen Tracy and Anne Klein and not on their worst days. This Italian mama who is supposedly in charge has absolutely no inkling or clue as to what charisma and stature Dior has carried for decades.

Clothes for working girls and college girls was hardly the MO for the Maison and now we have the criminally inept delusional woman who thinks she will turn the tide from a revered house and brand and make it clothes for the “everyday woman”…I guess she forget that her price points are not that of Kohl’s and Macys so her master plan might be foiled or misguided. There are no signatures no allure no panache and without being derogatory these are housewife working girl clothes and not clothes for the cognoscenti of fashion.

Dior was the jewel in the crown, aside from LV, within the LVMH empire and now it looks more like some flawed stone with no value at all ready except to be discarded. Yes the clothes look better than in the past but they look like just that ….generic clothes… how sad. Of course there is blah blah blah about archives and revival but the interpretation comes from someone wjo has NO reading or visual comprehension let alone interpretation.

If one was to play a game of word association of sorts  …words and phrases like these come to mind…  project runway …. Banal. Gamine… hohum… who cares . what designer is this… School girl clothes… Supermarket wear … boring .. nice… pedestrian.. triste ... age inappropriate...
