Dior Homme

A brief visit to Selfridges today renewed my dissapointment in Dior Homme for there choice of a sucessor Kris Van Assche who has changed Dior Homme completely even down to the very silhouette that made the brand what it is and what it always was. Hedi Slimane igonred the macho male that every other brand celebrated and focused on the Slim pettite men of the world giving them exceptionally well made clothes to wear. The contrast on the rails reading 'new' to the exsisting A\w 07 stock was exceptional it seems already under Kris van Assche tenure the brand has taken a sharp turn for the worst the fabrics, fit and cut of the jackets were completely different in many ways whilst Hedi's clothes fitted snuggly to the body Kris's hung loosely also on Hedi's hoodies were geomitracal prints whilst on Kris's there was nothing more than a word or more. I know that there was no Dior Homme before Hedi and his boots are hard to fill although he no longer designs his presence just captivates me his photos are no less than amazing speaking more than a thousand words he represent a style tribe that was more or less ignored before he came to power at Dior. The only way that people will recognise this terrible terible choice of a sucessor will be a huge decline in sales. I know that Hedi is not designing at the momment but i am true supporter of his work and i will go were ever the wasp flys.
