Am I the only one,

Who is wondering about the future of Dior and about the fame and infamy that is now John Galliano.
Galliano was a true talent, who had vision and created shows of fantasy and beauty. Even Galliano's personal lines were spunky, youthful, and full of imagination and freshness. Dior though clearly inaccessible and unwearable to the majority of the public was none-the-less a house of success in terms of fashion inspiration while under Gallianos direction. Dior, in my personal opinion, is now in shambles while its proprietors scramble to collect all the pieces and put them meticulously back together in a hurry.
Raf Simmons was recently made artistic director at Dior and I have high hopes, but even higher expectations, for him as he replaces Galliano creative shadow.
Unfortunately, Galliano did make the terrible mistake of blurting out antisemitic comments that infuriated the entire fashion community and millions worldwide. Hence his release from Dior and from his own brand. And this is where my favorite question arises. Is it is fashion sacrilege not only to by Galliano but Dior by Galliano? Is his name so besmirched that all his work is now condemned with him?
Leave your opinion in the comments. I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on the subject.

BeFitting Couture Haute Deuxième Partie

Bouchra Jarra:

A palette greys/silvers, cobalt blue and blacks. The shape of the collection was mostly loose on the body. Well cut and tailored cleanly. Above the knee low waisted cocktail dresses made the majority of the collection while pant separates made a small but last appearance. The collection to me was slightly monotonous and came across as overly wearable. The tie across dresses and over similarity through out the designs came across as amateur or unimaginative.
My favorite look was a blue seemingly sportswear inspired look that I felt was the most relaxed but also best made of all the garments.

Chanel:

Karl created for us this season a very conservative yet tantelizing collection. Small peeks of skin while most everything else was covered up in classic tweeds, semi-sheer gloves or other skewing overlays. The collection comes across harsh and has very little lightness to it. Sticking to Chanels signature color palette of black, white, and grey but also including majentas, navys, and some metallics. The collection was not my favorite in terms of Chanel Couture, the aura was too heavy for me and while I usually gravitate toward a more somber and strict colllection this one had a strange matronlly feel that kept me at bay from liking to much of it.
My favorite look was a bright majenta skirt suit which was one of the lightest feeling peices of the entire collection.

Christian Dior:

Amidst the contreversy of John Galliano's leave at Dior, his apprentice Bill Gaytten took center stage for presenting this seasons Dior Couture. The the feel of the collection is firey and sweet, then sultry and decadent. The collection had a large aray of both colour and pattern in it. While also being highly shaped and supremely cut. This collection for me did not do the justice that Galliano did for Dior. The collection sent across mixed messages and lost a distinct point of view in concept, design, and inspiration. My favorite look was a confection colored crop jacket with large button detail and a black and white geometric high waisted skirt.
