Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 2011 2012 Paris Fashion Week

  • Pin it

So there we go: Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2011. Sans Galliano. It’s like a lifeless mannequin parading up and down the catwalk, with no music, no sparkle, nothing.

I’m not trying to diminish the importance of Galliano’s defamatory declarations, I’m just trying to say that this Dior Haute Couture collection was strange. With a thousand different references and inspiration sources, it came across more like an unleashed parrot than a coherent sartorial creation. Oh, did I forgot to mention the disco madness? Oh, where is fashion going? One of its masters tragically took his own life, another is being banned for life… whereto? (photos via)

Disastrous. A carnival without a theme.
As somebody else said, the most present thing was the ausence of geniality.
A pierrot to close a haute couture Dior show? Really ? a pierrot?
A.PIER.ROT???? Pleeeez
I had seem fashion STUDENTS final year projects much more interesting than that.

Someone tell me this was a joke.
I did not know whether to cry, laugh or scream. This is hideous!
I will never forgive
Dior for this debacle and the way they got rid of John. Dior may got rid of John to save millions but with this they will stand to lose billions. In fashion, you are only as good as your current collection.
