THE MISSES:
Christian Dior
“Yikes. Horrible. This looks like a NY fashion week show. Those chain mail (?) collars are so, like…Pinterest DIY or something? He has no idea what he’s doing.” [dior_couture1245]
“There, he lost me. I always found something interesting even in his least interesting collections, but there’s not a single covetable thing here for me. Apart from the Ghesquière-Vuitton styling, everything is so unappealing. There’s good textures and fabrics, a couple interesting dresses, but the prints are ugly, the dresses are all the same, and those short pants suits are hideous. What’s happening here?” [mistress_f]
“The fur coats are pretty. Everything else is just hideous beyond any comprehension. I find it really sad to see how [Raf Simons] is failing at Dior so much. I honestly did not see this coming, but it sure as hell is awkward seeing such a mess season after season. I hope he can move on to a house he’s better suited for soon.” [Psylocke]

Acne Studios
“Some of the ugliest and most unflattering things I have ever had the misfortune to come across… get out of here…!” [softgrey]
“The patchwork feels passive aggressive. And I get violent vibes from the styling, I’ll pass on this mess.” [Vitamine W]
“Usually I like Acne’s offbeatness but this disappoints me. It feels too contrived to me. And those tweedy Dior x Raf Simons rip-off skirt suits are much too obvious.” [Scott]

John Galliano
“I’m gonna repeat this every season til this brand is gone: this didn’t even make money when John was in charge, who the hell is buying this crap? Are they only keeping it alive as a sort of offense towards John? I just don’t understand. Shut-it-down. I guess overall this is less ugly than Gaytten‘s past efforts, but there is not a single ‘Galliano’ thing here. It’s just ‘some clothes’. It’s sad.” [mistress_f]
“As a Galliano former customer I beg – please shut it down already. Don’t see the improvement, don’t wanna wear. There are so many good pieces available from other designers with the solid vision… but who would buy this?” [Running River]
“This brand doesn’t even have an identity anymore… it’s just Bill Gaytten’s plaything, where he’s copying different designers and aesthetics each season (this season seems to be Andrew Gn meets Costume National, except both of them were much better than this…). It’s just pitiful.” [StoneSkipper]
