THE MISSES:
Christian Dior
“It’s all very bland, boring and repetitive, there are some concepts and ideas he’s done a lot of times. I CANNOT believe this collection was actually approved to be classified as Haute Couture.” [UpperEchelon]
“This collection seems to be all about technique and fabric innovation. Which in all fairness is a huge part of what couture is all about. But it just feels so void of beauty, inspiration and poignancy. Which makes it come across as soulless and unimaginative. It’s a collection of technical high points, but where is the emotion? Is fashion on this level not about a marriage of innovation and emotion?” [Mr-Dale]
“There is something very stale about the presentation and color palette that completely washes out any redeemable parts of the collection.” [Moofins]

Giambattista Valli
“Most of the looks are LITERALLY the exact same looks that Raf [Simons] did for Dior couture two seasons ago.” [amak]
“Wow, this is bad. The color palette looks like he just closed his eyes and started pointing to colors at random.” [StoneSkipper]
“I can’t think of a silhouette more unflattering than an a drop waist with excessive fabric. Also, the Dior similarities are glaring.” [Moofins]

Chanel
“The shoes are an abomination and the knee and elbow pads are ridiculous. If Karl wanted roller girls, he should have put the models in roller skates.” [OliviaObsessed]
“I don’t flat out hate sneakers with dresses and skirts, it’s just that in this particular case we’re talking truly hideous sneakers… And anyway he probably thinks that sneakers with long evening dresses looks edgy, but it just cheapens the looks – some of which are truly beautiful/elegant… overall styling fail.” [mistress_f]
“Looks like Karl had some leftover from Christmas gift wrapping paper and decided to use this as the theme for the collection.” [nastassia]
