I think KVA's designs are a more appropriate representation of our time. As a critic of fashion there isnt really any comparison between Hedi and KVA, besides the fact that they both design for the same house. His effortless fits, and usage of material is something that is to be praised, and as the old saying goes less is more. Pure elegant simplicity
This is not a disappointment at all! This is a great representation of how fashion can bring you to a new sense of surreality. The concept of a madly evolving future finding divinity in approaching "man as the machine". Harmony is achieved in an ultra-simple fashion that infers greater responsibility and less pompous baggage. A modern reminder of why males like to wear capes.
I love the show, but I share your opinion, I don´t like clothes. Moreover, there´s not accessories. but as I said i love the show and I love soundtrack too, anyone knows it?
I would wear some pieces here but I have to say that DH is getting more and more dissapointing. I would like some emphasis on accessories as well. I do not think it is just KVA fault but the company must do something. Those garments do not give me the urgency to shop Dior.
Hedi Slimane is quite possibly not going to be coming back to Dior.
Just like Alexander McQueen, Mcqueen is never coming back to design for his label ever again. Burton knows what she's doing and she knows she's not McQueen so shes going to give you a burton-esque mcqueen whether you like it or not.
Stop associating Dior with Slimane because your just going to grow bitter and old condemning Dior for something it no longer can be.
van Assche is not Slimane, whether you like it or not.
i love this collection and want to wear a long coat.i always think black cloths are most suitable for men.except for Kris, there are no one designing beautiful black style.
Excellent staging and really great music, but the whole thing feels very wintery. The fabrics may be light and flowing and slashed all over, but who wants to spend summer in black suits and shirts?
@hungmunchkin go to Paris, and you will see them head to toe in black and grey. I was there this summer, and it will continue. A very monochromatic epiphany, but one I love. and trust me, the fabrics are even lighter than they look, the people will survive ! lol <3
dior homme doesn't need hedi.i love what kris is doing in the house and this collection i thought was boring in photos but seeing it now and how the clothes moved just wowed me.
i am sick of this motherfucker making tracksuit pant. ...you fagget. they are losing money having him on. all i see is suits in the shop. this is not ready to wear. not everyone gets invited to suit party..
@amhouseofjazz. I share your sentiment with regard to Van Assche. I've lost interest in Dior Homme since he took over. Hedi's Dior Homme resuscitated the moribund mens ready-to-wear scene; it had become complacent, redundant, and cliched. Hedi flipped the scene upside down and turned up the volume. So fucking good. Exciting and inspiring while it lasted.
@amhouseofjazz Just because you don't wear suits everyday doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. Maybe society should be wearing more suits. I personally hate it when someone wears jeans and a shirt everyday. I hate jeans and don't own many. They're too rigid and heavy. A pair of nice flowy soft light pants is perfect for spring.
@0509112x. Kris Van Assche (KVA) was an intern for Hedi at YSL. When Hedi made his move to Dior Homme as Creative Director, Kris accepted Hedi's offer to come with him (as his assistant). Dior Homme's dominant presence and success is undeniably attributed to Hedi Slimane's vision. Now what we're seeing is an incomplete, bastardized version from KVA. No vision. The pieces look incomplete concepts because KVA is a lousy designer. Yohji Yamamoto did stuff like this years ago, but KVA is no Yohji.
@cliklab Have you ever considered that quite possible his vision is indeed an incomplete look?
With van Assche i have noticed many of his designs were verging on communistic, a uniform look. Don't you think there could be some communistic references with a sort of salvaged...rationed look?
There are those who only see Dior homme for Hedi Slimane and won't take anything less, while there are those who see Dior Homme as a progressive label searching for a new look.
@vampireofstyx. Dior Homme wasn't relevant until 2000. Do you know who Slimane replaced in 2000? You shouldn't, because Dior Homme was dead before Slimane was given total creative control. Everything you know about the brand is of Hedi Slimane.
Van Assche worked as Slimane's assistant since his days at YSL; right out of school. By replacing Hedi with Kris, Dior Homme was not interested in "searching for a new look"; they only wanted more of the same; maintain and manage Hedi's signature.
@cliklab Thank you for the history of Dior Homme, surely I could've found it on wikipedia. however I don't know your credentials for talking about the intent of Dior Homme's design or designers so i won't listen to them, as i can fabricate the same truth with another house.
@vampireofstyx. Salvage fabric is a result of how the fabric is created. It is not a look, an aesthetic, a style, nor is it immediately apparent until fabric is examined more closely. Salvaged is most certainly not related to rationing. Communistic does not necessarily infer uniformity. You're all over the place.
Maybe you should stick to Armani, since you feel "a pair of nice flowy soft light pants is perfect for spring".
@cliklab You need to open your mind more. When i was talking communistic i was speaking about is eponymous label and i said he could've brought that same aesthetic by making a salvaged rationed look. When you think of communistic, what do you think of? I think of uniforms North Korea and Kim Jong ill, i also think of the George Orwell's novel 1984.
Fashion is fun. There's no fun when people like you have this static idea of what fashion is and what fashion isn't.
@vampireofstyx . Your public school education still shows through your fustian veil. Have you not been told that you're pretentious and annoying. Fashion is fun until someone like you shits on it with a 1984 reference coupled with N. Korea and their Great Leader as an example of "Communistic". If that's where you're coming from with your critique in defense of Van Assche's 2011 S/S line for Dior Homme...I can't help but ask you: are fucking serious? Kim Jong Ill, 1984?
@cliklab I must have quite an impression on you. I hope you don't use my words as the sole basis of any van Assche collection. Fashion is subjective. Fashion is fun.
I saw his eponymous collection and thought it looked like a working man with oil on his hands from cleaning the engine of some machine. The gray color reminded me of Kim jung il's infamous uniform. I put the two together and thought of 1984, where everyone who wasn't a proles wore a state mandatory uniform.
@cliklab and then i watched dior homme. With the playful idea of 1984 and communism in my head, I adapted it to this collection.
The different length of the sleeves, the capes that were as if it was a blanket that some proletariat shucked over himself to keep warm, the deep V necks and incomplete look of garments that made it seem as if the state put a ration on fabrics. The winding cloth in the middle of the stage like a maze in Miniluv or the cycle of a production assembly line.
@vampireofstyx . I'm no fan of Kris Van Assche, but I'll give him more credit than that bullshit praise you dumped on his work. Have you taken a good look at how the North Korean Military dress? Van Assche's clothes are neither rigid or constrained in concept or construct. He uses material liberally, practically draping the models in uncut yards of black (figuratively speaking). These clothes are made for Princes and Kings, young man. Don't fret over my closed, old mind. Open your eyes.
Your such a bitter old man. Stop criticizing people and fashion collections that you simply don't like because of your closed-minded views of fashion.
As a 19 year old, i'm sick of seeing guys who shouldn't be in tight jeans wearing tight jeans. Hedi Slimane created a skinny jean epidemic that many young people are trying to find the cure of.
Regarding your Armani comment. I will wear whatever i think is beautiful, whether it be Armani, Dior Homme, or Raf Simmons.
@vampireofstyx . 19 years old, and you already sound like a tired old queen with a big ass. If you're not a fan of Hedi Slimane's work, then Raf Simmons must make you crazy. Have you ever tried on a Dior Homme jeans? Have you visited any of the stores? I think you're the one with a closed mind. I've shopped DH for years, spending enough money on DH to complain about Van Assche's contributions to the brand. I've only bought 2 of his pieces. I wear neither because they feel cheap. Problem?
@cliklab I don't wear jeans...too commercial for my taste. I actually make my own clothes and van Assche happens to be one of my inspirations as of late.
Kris Van Assche should be run over with a 'Van' have his body cremated and his 'Assches' sprinkled in a canal. This is not fashion, this is kitsch. Someone should pass a bottle of smelling salts under his nose, he really thinks he is a designer. If not Hedi at least give the job to Gareth Pugh.
@realrasmckhaile you are dissatisfyed that Van Assche is not making fashion, so you want to give it to Pugh who will make it a costume circus?? please, sit down and shut up
The last 6 (six) guys first time in the fashion at DIOR show from Kazakhstan, Almaty city, Central Asia (pls. not Japan, China or etc. Asian countrys) I was on this show, it was ammesing, fascinating...I was so proud for my compatriots!
