I miss John Galliano… I know I’ve already said that when we were discussing Christian Dior’s Spring/ Summer 2012 collection designed by Bill Gaytten. But who could know that Galliano’s absence from the house would be felt event stronger another season later, when the Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 was unveiled?
The problem is not in Gayten actually, he’s a talented man and can create really amazing pieces when the inspiration is right. He is simply not the designer Christian Dior needs. The fashion house, which was long known for its luxurious and truly feminine pieces, can’t focus on simplicity. And despite the fact Dior was good under Gaytten it was a pretty uninteresting period in the label’s history. Maybe I’m speaking about Gaytten as ‘history’ too early but after the unimpressive Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 range he will hardly stay at the position long.
Christian Dior Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 collection wasn’t very bad, it was lovely and elegant, but a little bit dull. It started well, with dresses and skirts in midi lengths and the accent on waists, but nothing special followed – restrained coats, classy jackets, several floor-length evening dresses and few accessories, including ugly hats.

Whoever wrote this article has no knowledge of either fashion, history of Christian Dior, or the difference between brand and the actual product! I say this because: a) fashion (SHOULD be) is a practical art meaning that Galliano’s work was only fit for museums for it was not fit for daily use (or any use for that matter). His work lacked elegance, taste, form, and in my opinion, beauty; b) Christian Dior was a fashion genious who praised the female body and grace which was reflected through his ELEGANT, TASTEFUL, AND BEAUTIFUL work; b) de integro, Galliano WAS NOT creating Dior products, he was just operating under the label… So, what do you really miss (that is the question)?
I miss john toO ….. Dior must get him back ….. He is the best …. I lOve Dior so much … And I think it was better with john :)
Seriously? Fall and spring was amazing! The pieces are desirable. I WANT to wear that!
