Dior Homme SS 06

[SOME_DAY]

Just wondering what everyone elses take is on the SS06 Dior Homme collection. I was wondering after the last season what Hedi Slimane was gonna do next. I ain't feeling the Teddy boy theme, it seems as though he was at his peak a year and a half ago. The next season seems quite clumsy, and the trousers/pants just look stupid.

I don't like the looks he has on the runway, with one acception:

I <u>really</u> like that one.

You are right, most of the looks do look quite clumsy, and a lot of the pants take cutting them too tight and too short to the extreme. However, there are a lot of nice pieces in the new line.

The belts and the sunglasses are really amazing. So are some of the more "traditional" blazers and jackets are great, and I would wear them if I was older and had more money. This t-shirt is pretty awsome and I look forward to seeing it in stores:

yeah, I think the cut of the pants looks completely inferior to past seasons

I have to agree, although I believe that this look would be pulled off better with jeans from Spring/Summer 05 and a decent pair of white sneakers.

Is Hedi using a tie as a belt? Look closely and you will see on the left it get's a lot wider, like a skinny tie would if you fed it through the belt holes.

Well isn't this guy a fancy lad? I'm going to save this pic just for fun.

Buqoo, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I really like Michael Jackson.

Does anyone seriously dress like this?

The outfits are absolutely awful.

[johninger]

I am to large to wear any of that stuff. Imagine a 34" waist guy with muscular buttocks, long golden hair, long silky legs toned like an adonis statue...

i am getting off the topic and by the way i dont look like that.

But can you imagine a normal guy wearing some of that stuff it would look ridiculous.

I hope indigo doesn't cause cancer...

... could you hand me the dental floss

^hahah same. What hood are YOU from?

All those outfits are gay imo

[baizilla]

awful season.. Hedi has done nothing great since S/S 05... hopefully the F/W 06 would be a better collection

[jhud]

first, I'll say I agree with a lot of what's been said so far. this collection seems to be off the mark, compared to hedi's previous work. or maybe his design, which seemed so revolutionary only a few seasons ago, is becoming a bit stale. I can say this, even though at the same time I love it and wish badly I could buy some of those pieces.

the other thing is, people are saying "no one dresses like this," but it's a fashion show... it's been meticulously styled to deliver a specific message. of course you're not supposed to dress like this... if you're wealthy enough to afford an entire dior look, then you probably shouldn't be wearing the clothes in the first place! but it's undeniable that the styling on these models is very influential... even if you only decide to pick up on the skinny tie and drainpipe pants, you've still taken a few cues from the DH look.

okay, so that's my rant... I dunno how useful it is to this discussion.

[Geowu]

The collection brings a good inspiration, that's all. I like only 2 of the "looks".

[minya]

"Influential"? I see your point, jhud, and I'm sure you're right that nobody really would ever dress like that anywhere but a fashion show, but Dior are ripping off 80s punk/ska/etc bands... I wouldn't call their look "influential." Just a rehash of what we saw 20 years ago.

I really like hedi collection as I like jackson

I luv everything

I don't know where you're gettin Michael Jackson from, is it that he's wearing a black hat? Hedi Slimane actually said the collection is inspired by Pete Doherty. I probably don't need to point out that there's a big difference between the two.
