^ That's what I was thinking, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Atelier has very exceptional customer service where they even remember the little guys, what they bought and for what reason. When your expectations are exceedingly satisfied it's enough reason to come back. Albeit 'small' purchases there could be close to a thousand dollars...

There are some nice pieces in this collection however I still feel that KVA is the wrong designer for Dior Homme. I wonder if there truly will be a change of designer? The Gareth Pugh rumor had me excited but that one it appears to have been false.

I think KVA is really getting it right. The balance between commercial and progressive design is one that few can manage. Sell a bunch of trainers, black v necks, black skinny suits, white shirts, then satisify the more design aware customer, with build quality and fabric that independents cannot match. It is a big niche.
This collection cut out the folly and the gimmics. And delivered within austere parameters. Forget the dressing up box.
Appreciate this is 4 months out of date. Oops.spinning glue back into horses. . .

It seems like he has found a way to present his vision while staying true to what DH stands for. Those huge flowing coats really do it for me. In these pictures it almost looks like you can see the clothes move.
this seem to have been said about every collection so far, so i guess hes moving towards the right direction at least
having said that, wtf is this shit?

was dh under slimane really that difficult to turn profitable (more so than any other new business)? it seems tough to believe - but i'm no fashion industry expert. and if dh is profitable now, doesn't it probably have more to do with selling slimane era staples than kva era design pieces?
as for the clothes, this collection looks nicer on the runway. yet as always with kva, actually trying the clothes on makes one feel sad, like something's not quite right.
just for the hell of it, i tried on a few runway pieces recently. the designs aren't cut for a particular physique, the fit and cut is poor, the lines and fabrics don't really mesh, and the ideas are *almost* there, but not really. it left me really annoyed, kinda nostalgic, and it just seemed like such a waste of the tremendous resources at dior's beck and call.""assuming the economy doesn't force us to eat the rich and object-tan their hides" -- merz

Any label is hard to turn profitable in first years, especially when you build flagship stores to prove you have a big dick. It takes a while to get the message out to the masses in order to herd them in to buy jeans, tees, and cologne.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

All negatives and positives aside, this is KVAs best, and I guess that is all we can ask for... Better days have to come, right? Hedi, stop it with your boy toy photo time and come back.Originally posted by Faustsnafu, you are such a kunktease.
