Dior Homme Ss2008 Collection

[Tiranis]

WUT?

[Astérix]

On one hand it was sarcasm / poking fun at "stocking up" before it goes downhill, but on the other hand I do think there's an element of truth in what I said as towards my views. High fashion (and "fashion" in general) has a tendency towards transcience, and while those past collections remain quite good, when it comes down to shoes / jeans things that are associated with "the brand" more so than more "classic" pieces might be I tend to look more at the current state of the brand than whatever "historical relevance" they might have in examining the connotations of the piece.

If I had a blazer from that era I would probably keep it. A pair of jeans with the scars? Perhaps not, at this point. There are other jeans out there tied to more relevant / interesting brands at this point in time and there's no point in looking back. Even the aesthetic is becoming less relevant, and I'm not convinced KVA has the fortitude to take it somewhere new. We'll see in time, but either way:

I'd say it is, and has been for some while, high time to move on from Dior.

I see where you are coming from [fashion is now, etc], I just did not realize you were talking about the jeans...

[notesee]

Wasn't a huge fan of Dior, but I liked the way that most of the items I've tried on fit me .. sometimes I get frustrated with finding stuff for my body type .. very tall and thin.

I hate how the arms are loose in that jacket pictured. I knew this line would be a disaster without Slimane.

[blackzombie]

With Hedi Slimane gone, I think it is time to move on. A brand can only establish so much, I think Hedi Slimane took Dior to it's zenith. How can one continue to excel from where he left off? There must be other brands that are driven towards skinny/taliored fitting clothes, what others are there?

[big at lc]

Well I heard a while back that Hedi was gonna start his own line after he left Dior....

Dunno if it's true, just heard it down the grapevine

=\

Pray for it

at the moment hedi is acting as a bizarre artistic polymath, doing a collab there and a gallery show of photography here. i think he said he definatley wants to come back though and re-start fashion at some point. i think it just a matter of tme till he gets his own proper label

[Eliana]

so wait.. we're having kris van assche killed, right?

[keska]

yeah sure, we already paid the hitman so that covers that i guess.

[Servo2000]

You talking about "The Cold One?"

[joey_formal]

the tailoring on alot of this collection is quite poor and fuck the washes are terrible on the denim. the low rise denim looks absurd but at least the classic rise ones don't look completely horrible. over all there are a couple pieces that look decent but boring and alot that looks like crap. pretty weak.

[fang]

my ass is going to look so good in those jeans.

[homi29]

ugh this whole line looks so bad

people will still buy it because of the halo effect created around the brand by hedi

[keska]

You talking about "The Cold One?"

yeah, minya

[ProfMonnitoff]

dior's washed denim has always been awful though

[joey_formal]

that is next level awful, and the fit is poor.

[chromesquared]

dior's washed denim has always been awful though

I totally agree with this, but from how high these things sometimes go for on Ebay/Y! I think a lot of ppl would disagree. Everything looks really terrible so far though....

[Tiranis]

dior's washed denim has always been awful though

Can't say I agree. They've certainly had some bad washes, but there's plenty of good ones too.

[keysonawire]

wow:(

[TEN CRACK COMMANDMENTZ]

how much is retail on the buttight pants?

[ritter]

QUICK QUESTION: how did the bee logo come about anyways? curious..

[Crillz]

[epitaph220]

petition bring heidi back :[

[dnarnya]

is it just the modeling or we know those denimz are horrible?

[bronsnine]

they look awful, and honestly, you can tell a lot about denim's quality by the way it looks. I don't mean to insult dior, but their ss08 denim (minus the silver metallic pants) look comparable to old navy.

[joey_formal]

just to let you know, a poor wash... i take that back several terrible washes do not make it a poor quality of denim. dior's denim has never been the best but it sure as shit is a nice quality of cotton as well as milled in much nicer mills than old navy.

[bronsnine]

you're right, i was talking about look not quality. my b.

[Corbin Law]

dior dynasty ends now.

[midnight]

Slimane BETTER get his own line soon! I can't stand this.

[solidricin]

dior dynasty ends now.

Incorrect.

Ended after A/W 05.

[joey_formal]

when hedi is ready to do his own line the investors will line up and it will happen the man needs his time though.
