Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2012: beautiful soulless

Yesterday Bill Gaytan again assumed the responsibility to present a couture collection for Dior . And failed again. After learning the lesson that moves better fire codes recorded at the brand that in the great creative genius that characterized the stage of Galliano , the garments were in press and clients in two passes in the halls of the legendary number 30 the Avenue Montaigne and the presentation had nothing to do with the excessive Galliano shows that organized. Make discreet, total lack of accessories, without any set that supports the concept of what is wanted to show.

But the main problem is that no clothing had nothing to show. One after another, the outputs were a succession of great successes of Dior. Silhouettes and volumes that any lover of la maison recognized at first glance but do not contribute anything to the fashion to show how important are the files of the brand and the unsurpassed level of excellence that has the Dior couture team, which is claimed in each collection that have occurred since the dismissal of John Galliano.

And is that according to some of the rumors suggest this team of craftsmen are the real problem to find a relief for Gibraltar against Dior since some of the designers surveyed as a Tisci just accept the challenge to the status of his team carried This would mean having to fire all these people and it seems that managers LVMH they are unwilling.

Once again the New Look was again the inspiration. The white, black and gray are the colors that prevail with slight concessions to beige, aubergine, lavender and red, another great classic Dior. This palette so little justified under the premise that the collection was born: to highlight some of the items through X-rays, a game that lead to reality through transparencies, layers and embroidery games without getting almost no output is spectacular for something more than the pomp of dress.

If a hermit fashion aficionado had been the last 15 years without knowing what made ​​John Galliano at Dior probably would think that the collection is correct and entirely consistent with the legacy of the founder of the brand, but we have a lot of our love sewing and fashion to the work of Gibraltar can not help but miss him and think that a great genius is being wasted when we remember the excitement that came with each pass of their collections. Now and after this year of mourning, we have no choice but to learn to live without it. If that is possible.
