Dior Homme by Kris Van Assche Spring Summer 2008

[BreakPics]

for a dior man is a FAGGOT!

[amhouseofjazz]

hhaha but them sleeves were cool not rips dude...he is starting to make same things again and again....every fashion label has there look HS for dior was dior look...look at john galliano thats his look... whats they point of having different fashion lable. his looks like hermes

one love

[amhouseofjazz]

cavalli is a joke will be a joke hahha...nah i dont want to start a fight on you its gay haha..nah i know what u mean , but i guess we like different fashion style. .we should collaborate and creat a new look?

[amhouseofjazz]

definitionXbattle :

if the you kris is good...then u dont know what fashion is you should stick to looking at roberto cavalli...that make stupid shit that doesnt make any sense...check of what kris has done to the suit...putting rips? thats just a joke... that not hight in fashion thats just running out of ideas to do new design

[definitionXbattle]

lol, no no, ill agree w/ you, cavalli SUCKS but idc what anyone thinks or says, I was bored w/ Slimane, how many collections can you be inspired by pete doherty? give me a break, it became novelty, the skinny suit. any REAL lover of fashion knows that once you are known for somthing, CHANGE IT UP! lol dont get stuck, KVA was the change it needed, and the rips were in 1 collection, dont even get me started on the flannel sleevless shirts Slimane sent down the runway..thats fashion? pls, piss off

[ediewarhol11]

Hedi Slimane did great things for Dior!! It's disappointing knowing he isn't the head designer anymore. All of the clothes fit amazing!

[diggthepigg]

maybe the braided shoe but the rest no respectful rich man will go for maybe a weird gay

[definitionXbattle]

how old is Kris Van Assche? anyone know

[13WhiteFang37]

Lanvin is the next Dior. Go Lucas Ossendrijver!

[amhouseofjazz]

it easy to design a suit....but its not easy to do what hedi did

[definitionXbattle]

easy to design a suit??? what slimane did was very hard, but he it only worked for a very particular type of body. it takes more effort, talent, and extreme work, to make the perfect suit, for every individual man...ask any REAL tailor

dior homme is known for their suits anyway, so redefining them, and moving AWAY from the slimane skinny suit is a GOOD thing

kva is a genious, he is just ahead of everyone, watch, you'll all see....

[Taj1003]

I rwally Kris Van Assche...But hes stupid for taking on the job at Dior...Like Hedi Slimane created and made a trade mark look for the line! So kris is damned if he changes it and hes damned if he doesn't...because he'll either be accused of copying or violating...and to a lot of people hes somewhere in between...hence being stupid for taking on the job.

Great designer though...But no one will ever be able to follow up slimanes legacy at dior.

Kris Van Assche was a good choice if you ask Me.

[newclips]

i like it.... but yeh... hedi was much more innovative than him... liked him more... but kris has good designs as well...

[lomographic]

I hate this. Hedi was englightening (what a fitting typo) and insightful and intensely thoughtful. Kris's designs look more to fit an amateur phallusy soft boy who resorts to the city look in order not to offend.

[BigZoon]

All of Hedi´s allure and sense of fitting into time and at the same time being timeless has now been burned down into some wannabe scum.

[definitionXbattle]

lol, funny how KVA was HAND PICKED by Slimane to be his assistant...Kris was right next to him from YSL through Dior, and when Slimane left, they chose Kris as the successor...obviously Slimane seen somthing you creatures dont

[ottawaelektricity]

I don't like this collection at all. I think Hedi could of made it work if he comprimised. The shock value of the waif look disappeared after the first few collections anyways.

[javomar87]

NO, NO, NO, he totally un did everythig Hedi did,

[definitionXbattle]

THANK GOODNESS! THATS WHAT FASHION IS ALL ABOUT!!! Im not saying i didnt like what Slimane did, it was great, but it became boring and novelty!! season after season of the same thing, blahh...it needed NEW BLOOD, a new face, change change change, THIS IS WHAT FASHION IS ABOUT PEOPLE!!! KVA is a designer, he can only follow what he wants, what sense would it be to go into it re-hashing what HS did??? how absurd! you rascals make me sick!!!

[0509112x]

You are right but Kris Van isn't a great designer compare to Hedi !

[definitionXbattle]

idk, we have our own tastes. Slimane made beautiful clothing, but Van Assche makes beautiful fashion...thats the difference for me.

and in the end, the things that do not evolve, do not exsist. <3

[vulkkan]

HEIDI could had stayed at DIOR but his EGO was far to BIGGGG !... he had no cash to set up his own label but he thought he could run the whole show and make demands ! HOW PATHETIC and full of himself CAN HE BE ? .. his pride was to BIG ! that's why he left and now he is just doing little silly shows , PRIDE KILLS ! WHAT goes around COMES AROUND ! YES he is talented but he is just like the rest... too 'GOOD ' for their own GOOD !

[vulkkan]

Ridiculous all the comments against Van A! ..do they really think that DIOR designs for kids ??? GET REAL little men..DIOR is for MEN with CASH! not SPLASH! ... HOW MANY OF YOU CAN AFFORD DIOR ??? If you people could ..you wouldn't be mumbling silly comments ..just go and get dress by HEIDI...if you have the cash of course ! LOL!

[fartlessass]

dont forget u need to have the skinny anorexic bodytype. money isnt everything. dior can be like a mercedes. some ppl with cash just hate them. new rich dorks wear dior.

[lalimani]

i really hate those shirts , makes me think of church men

i think it's elegent but deprived of spirit.

in other words a bit boring

[andrewexd]

come back heidi. now.

[AndiMoon]

hedi slimane is a genious of fashion, he really understands the masculine figure, the long and skinny male figure, his collections reflects the real spirt of young men and the elegance and sophistication that it takes. Chris VA's designes are for older men, clothes that we've seen before, kinda boring, kinda weird for a fashionista eye. R.I.P DIOR HOMME, But I wll always follow your work Hedi.

[jogu78]

how long is van assche's contract w/dior? i hope not long cos what hes designing is garbage. my God those shirts with the flared sleeve... who da fug is gonna wear that?? those shoes hes so proud of? UGH, theyre terribly ugly.

kris, if u read this by chance: please leave dior. get out while you can before you become known as the man who ruined the legacy.

[saturnienne]

yo're so silly!

kris is great, hedi was so boring and he designed for prepubescent teenagers in skinny april77 jeans.

kris brought the elegance back

[jogu78]

clearly, as per my comment below, u havent even visited a dior boutique.  dont comment on something you cant afford.

[saturnienne]

i can't afford?

what makes you think that?

i find dior so vulgar, nouveau riche.

i love YVES SAINT LAURENT.

i live in paris and i've visited more couture houses than you ever could.you must be a teenager yerself.

[vulkkan]

SATURNEINNE.. to visit couture houses is one thing, to be able to buy it is anothet thing LOL! get real DIOR is not for skinny guys but for real men ... if you could afford DIOR or Heidi for that matter you wouldn't be here !.. You would be spending your time taking care of your investments .... LOL! ..

[saturnienne]

i am born rich , mate.

i buy haider ackermann.

diooooooooooooor: you know what paris is full of those vulgar arab women and men shopping at dior. you know those big 'i ma dior' sunglasses.and they eat at ladurée.thats why i dont even go to ladurée anymore due to this arab clientele.. enjoying the paris fashion week.yamamoto is good, the rest sucked.

why r u so bothered about buying dior? only nouveau rich need to prove how rich they are.

[fartlessass]

dior slimane was for young boys and not for real men. u had to be real skinny. not even dolce n gabbana fit on those slimane suits.

[fartlessass]

i meant dolce gabbana models

[saturnienne]

what do d&g models to do with slimane?

d&g are for fit men anyway.

they both have their audiences.

[fartlessass]

dolce models are fit but skinny AND they dont fit on slimane stuff. u have 2 b anorexic to fit on those. dior sucks

[saturnienne]

the skinny look is out anyway

you know why hedi insisted on skinny?

cos as a teenager, or even as a grown up poof, he coudlnt finfd clothes to fit his skinny legs..so he reversed fashion like some sort of revenge.

[fartlessass]

nothing wrong with that. hes free to do whatever he wants and hes been succesful.

[saturnienne]

who cares anyway?

i love rick owens better.

and haider ackermann.

[fartlessass]

exactly. so the skinny look is out u think?

[saturnienne]

yes i think

i see

[littlad]

you clearly have no idea of who rick owens is... I am confused as to why you would be more acceptant of a typical 'Rick Owens' man than a 'Dior Homme' man, seeing as they both fall under the 'skinny' and 'androgyny' category. You've really dug yourself deep into a shit-hole, haven't you? F***ING DOUCHE.

[fartlessass]

u need to relax and fill ur brains with something

[littlad]

[fartlessass]

u need to relax and fill ur brains with something

[Dominix86]

so what are you implying? that real men cant be skinny? you do know that there's more than jut one body type formen right? I hope you are not that aggorant!!

[fartlessass]

u dont get it. real mean means men that dont have skinny teenagers body. of course some men have that body and still men. the MEN concept have nothing to do with masculinity. thats an inner thing. MEN differs from BOY

[Dominix86]

and you are still wrong!!! those men on the dior homme runways are the same ages of the men on Dolce's runway!!! they just have two completely different body types. Real men can have skinny teenager body. and dont tell me I dont get it trust me... When I sit there on the runway watching these model.. I know my shit.. it's kinda my job.

[fartlessass]

oh lawd...i wasnt talking about AGE. i was talking about LOOKS. those guys can be 49 but their bodies are skinny teenager type. the rest is what i already said before. good u agree. i did runway in 99-2003 and met most of those models back then. even scott barnhill, veneerik, samuel riva etc

[Dominix86]

you said you arent talking about age yet you say their bodies are skinny teenager types.Principle of the matter is HediSlimane was making diorhomme more of a unisex wear. In order to do that using skinny men.

[fartlessass]

oh i didnt know that, thank u very little!

[javomar87]

well if u dont kno what the subject is in first place why make a comment about it, learn the designers concept then come back and bla bla bla all u want, but at least u will kno what you are talkin about

[fartlessass]

i know the concept. u dont need a brain surgery to get it. this is not physics or designing an oil rig, retard!

[javomar87]

EWW, am not a retard am a Fashion Desinger, so I think I know more about the concept of fashion more then you do.

[fartlessass]

how do u no my idea of the concept?

[Burbrinz]

i'm gay - i know alot about that

[javomar87]

LOL, most of those models hav been replace already.

[javomar87]

so what, this is fashion, most of the models are over 25, and thier job is to look the way the do, and who does not want to look young, who want to look like a trunk tree i dont, thats for body builders, and body builders dont belong in fashion

[winniefrankwilliam1]

The new collection looks like crap. Who in their right mind is going to wear pants that look like curtains. They we're stupid to let Hedi go. For now, while we wait for Hedi to re-appear, I'm going to J Lindeberg. Amazing collection, very affordable.

Sorry Kris, your collection is very dissapointing indeed! Shame. Dior will never be the same.

[notoriousmankind]

LONG LIVE HEDI!

[victimofthecrime]

it looks like an m&s ad.

[oohhyea]

I like hedi slimane much much more than Chris VA. Slimane is more Dior and much more modern.

[maestrohokage]

hedi slimane!!!its the best!!

[blc3897]

I liked Hedi's skinny look. It's really hard for skinny people to find clothes that fit, his were perfect.

[clebermaximo]

It is a little different from the Dior man I was used to. Just some of those garments were creative because the collection is based on tailoring... Men do not wear suits all week long. I hope next collection is going to be better.

[rslessix]

kris van ashoole they call him in antwerp

[vartonise]

when i look at this new collection, it really feels like dior!!! brought back the classics, the jackets are so sleek, and the collars, so strong and no nonsense!!! poor hedi have to leave dior because not allppl are not able to buy his clothes, it's time to let different sizes get back to wear dior homme.....the luxury

[jogu78]

hedi didnt leave cos "not all ppl arent able to wear his clothing"; you clearly havent been to a dior boutique as there are sizes for everyone, goin up to euro 52.

[vartonise]

well honestly i haven been to because i'm not interested to purchase any of the garments, i'm beyond designer wears, bored of it, but i have to follow up due to my job. you have to know what dior means and i think kris did a good job to brought back the feeling of dior in a diferrent dimension...if you cant change the situation, you have to change yourself, i'm sure he has a lot to improve but it's a progression, there is no perfect

[tedrien]

KVA just ruined Dior Homme for me. WTF is with those big balloon pants?! Who the hell is gonna wear that! Bring back the skinny clothes.

[mr33133]

I think is fresh air for this brand very clean and crisp and I still see Dior homme here, I love Hedi but it is time for new talent well give him a chance and see what direction he's going take us next!.

[Shanex36]

he is handsome

[neufrench]

UGLY! What is with the Dad pants?

[adrianchauchungto]

Looks good but liked the old hedi designs more.

Skinny shirts just don't go as well with loose trousers.

[dandyboy1]

Prefer Heidi even when most of the designers copied his work

[Quaddie11]

Hedi Slimane's creations are the true look for Dior Homme. This, by KVA is pure nonsense.

[justlikepicchio]

this is garbage

i dont like the new clown look which consist of baggy pants and tight shirts.

Then id like to say that there are a lot of people,like me,who dont buy just a pair of jeans,or a t shirt once in a while,but we build TOTAL LOOKS becouse WE LOVED THE OLD IMAGE that Dior Homme had before Kris came.

Then he might please the fuckin critics,but they aint gonna purchase shit,we are the ones who buy stuff,so if WE COSTUMERS aint pleased,who s gonna give Dior $

[alejandrocalvani]

im in love with the embroidered shoes

[mmimtc]

new elegance nad new look? hahhahahaahahah veru ugly collection, nowhere near cool hedi slimane!

[kilroyrichard]

hmmm dior homme was about teamng edgy looks with minimalism, plus hedi slimane created the entire image of dior homme, the stores, the cosmetic designs, this new look is a paler imitation of louis vuitton or prada from years back with just a more interesting silhouette, its bit lazy from kris van asche, dissapointing

[julien520]

no way,hedi has bulit such a strong image for DH,so hard for me to accept the new sillouhitee

[dowager]

man, am i the only who likes his collection? i love the masculinity and sharpness.

[LittleChinaShop]

No, I love it, too. It's great.

[squirrelmilk]

kva ruined it...for now....be optimistic

[myowndior]

Cause me pain Hedi Slimane...

The new designer has killed the image of the label...

It will sink... fast...

[xporcelainangelx]

Most people had already made their decision on the collection before even seeing it. He's not Hedi, he never will be + i think this collection is a refreshing change. The pants i could do without, but the jackets however i love. Even if you don't like it i think you could at least appreciate his desire to leave his own mark at Dior + not making replica Slimane designs to keep customers pleased.

[saturnienne]

you are right.

who wants to be the new hedi anyway? hedi's dead

[LittleChinaShop]

What do you mean by saying this? He definitely will be succeessful even without Dior, because everyone knows what he's capable of and a lot of people really appreciate his skinny and cool silhouette. Cheers.

[xporcelainangelx]

I didn't say anything bad about Hedi. I love me a bit of Slimane :] Just saying i was glad he chose to take a risk, and try to do his own thing with the brand.

[wsx8st]

GAG major GAG it's like prado on crack I have stoped buying dior homme and their sales will go out the window, I really hope hedi comes up with he's own line...

[sillyrabbit7]

Hedi´s work was better i dont like Kris work U_U!!!!

[saturnienne]

i am sick of hedi clones in paris, pathetic.kris is fresh n crisp
