Dior’s haute couture show in Paris yesterday, the first without John Galliano after his sacking in March, was not, by most normal standards, a success. However, if the idea was to produce something that a future successor would find easy to better, then job done…
… Perhaps the team were relying on most people viewing the clothes on a phone screen. It would have to be a microscopic picture to hide the great big hole at the centre of this collection where vision, a deft hand and creative playfulness should have been. Galliano may have been resting on his laurels during his last years at the house, but they were well appointed laurels designed to his own high specifications. – The Times
