After watching this seemingly endless parade of nothingness I have come to the conclusion that “she” is a misogynist, among so many other issues that she has when it comes to designing, and I use the term loosely, clothes for women. So, were they football player protection pads or maybe life preservers, and team compression socks, laced up and boned waist cinchers or laser cut waist cinchers that looked painful? Do I need to ask why so many pieces looked as if they were listing to the left side, ill fitted or why is there a Levi jacket in a Dior collection of any kind? Or why so many pieces look as if they are the French version of Talbots?
I would say it’s a wet dream of a collection if there was anything sexy or even arousing about it but to think you paint some leaves on a trench add a cincher and that makes it Dior is an affront to the brand and using that same idea applied to so many other generic pieces. Where did that floral taffeta come from and why? I can’t even go into her shoe fetish with those teeny, sculpted kitten heels or Doc Martinish boots. I suppose the models were made up to echo the skin tones from those Renaissance paintings that lined the walls but instead they looked like cadavers on parade. While I’m on the subject, aside from that and the last few gowns which might have been more effective in ecru rather than a blinding white especially the last exit with the inner waist support strap showing!
Given the extraordinary number of pieces there were some that weren’t bad but hell, okay that’s not good enough here as they need to be stellar. Unquestionably there will be esoteric blather on the part of designer who will once again explain her inspirations for the collection and the double eyes on all surrounding art. It just boggles my mind that no one gives a crap about the heritage and glory that was once Christian Dior!
