THE MISSES:
Christian Dior
“Oh God, it looks like a mix between Marni, Miu Miu, Missoni and Jane Fonda’s video workout… not good at all. I really hope that it’s his last couture collection for Dior.” [perhydrol]
“I am so angry right now. I have had enough of Raf [Simons] at Dior now. What is presented here is laughable and riding on the coast of atrocious. Everything is so boring and one-note. Nothing seems special about this at all. Those catsuits better be hand-painted.” [Salvatore]
“Yet another tortured mess with a few decent things scattered throughout. And by ‘few’ I literally mean like 4. The detail pictures help make this easier to appreciate but the delicacy of the handwork is a testament to the workrooms, not how Simons used them. He still hasn’t developed a knack for couture. His use of their skills is pretty uninspired.” [Mutterlein]

Giambattista Valli
“I think whoever styled this is a monster. The collection could have really benefited from a lighter styling, the layered outfits with the jacket over a dress over a pair of pants feels heavy and already done multiple times.” [dodencebt]
“Another one bites the dust. During the first few years I thought he was a really fresh and welcome addition to the Couture, but now he became such a boring parody of French bourgeois. I mean this is almost Jason Wu territory.” [Marc10]
“I find this to be terribly tacky, overdone and just plain ugly. Those taffeta suits covered by tons of tulle are walking nightmares.” [mistress_f]

Chanel
“I feel sorry for all the models that participated in this show. Everyone’s mug is busted due to that ridiculous makeup. My God…” [valliaddict]
“The cropped jacket + low-slung skirt combo makes them all look pregnant…and who thought it would look good to pair those shoes with every single look?” [orchidee]
“This is the worst I’ve seen from Chanel and not even the details can save it.” [squilliam]
