No easy task of Dior, in charge of opening the week of haute couture show in Paris. Panela Gaytten went to Bill, John Galliano temporary replacement after the controversy launched by the designer. Although it shows the team effort, the absence of Galliano is insistituible.
They have tried, and appreciated, but the first haute couture collection without Galliano has not kept pace. The Dior show, which was always the highlight of the meeting with the ‘couture’, has been lackluster this time a year that has failed to convince either entusiarmar anyone. It’s the end of an era.
The French firm’s team has tried to retake the reins of the house after the departure of Galliano, Paris and presented a mix of patterns, shapes, fabrics and inspirations without a common thread. No sign of the master touch of Galliano.
The collection brings together references circus, geometric elements, floral designs, the style of Pierrot … A difficult merger that we should look more like a transition until the firm finds his new creative director.
