Dior pre-fall 2021

 In response to the current times when designers and clients speak of buying” comfort clothes,” quite literally and figuratively the meatball decided that these are her take on comfort clothes. Well, I’d like to see her, actually no I wouldn’t, in that silver skirt or sprayed on second skin jeans and tell me that she feels comfort in reliving her past thru those clothes!!

Maria Grazia Chiuri says “I want a leopard coat!” The Christian Dior designer was in high spirits, illustrating the objective she set herself with her most animated collection to date. “Now, we desire something that gives us energy. Something completely different,” as she put it.  EXCEPT IT’S NOT DIFFERENT!

I would like to come back to the fashion that started my career: the playfulness that attracted me and my generation to fashion, and transform the Dior codes through this attitude.” For Chiuri—a child of the 1970s—those roads had to lead to Elio FiorucciI guess the logo is the code!

And these images tell you one thing... she has gone back to her roots without the slightest concept that Fiorucci was for the young at a price that the young could afford so here we have the absolute worst iteration of that by showing teeny bopper clothes that retail in the thousands of dollars produced under the auspices of one of the greatest heritage brands of fashion.

 The woman is clearly in possession of a faulty thought process and as you can see hasn’t had an original idea in her entire life other than maybe at Fiorucci 40 odd years ago except what worked for Fiorucci does NOT work at Dior. These are clothes that make you cringe that they carry the same name as the designer of the Bar jacket or the elegance that sustained the brand with the designs of Marc Bohan or the brilliance of John Galliano and then there is this pile of rehashed junk with the old logo

This is “Goodwill Hunting” in the truest sense of the word! I find it offensive to the viewer and frankly embarrassing for the brand! It’s rather pathetic when a designer gets lost in their own bullshit.
