Christian Dior Spring 2014 Review:
Totally Honest (but not so nice).
While I was doing this Christian Dior Spring 2014 Review, I realized that the newest designer at Christian Dior, Raf Simons does have some youthful and edgy designs this season.
I have to admit that I really miss John Galliano and his dramatic Haute Couture designs!
While there were some fresh yet classic gowns this Spring, there were many that just appear unflattering, and in a society here in the US, where people of all social-economic status are increasingly conscious of the shape of their body, I doubt that these designs will go over and sell as a viable couture option in personal style.
It kind of makes me think of that popular joke that I will adapt to Christian Dior Spring 2014:
"Of course I am in shape in Dior Haute Couture........
Round is a Shape, isn't it?!"
"Or the Classic question that Fathers-to-be dread hearing from their wife: Does this dress make me look pregnant?"
OHHHH NOOO!
But let us highlight the positive designs first.

Voted one of the ten best-dressed at this year's Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence wore a classic red gown worthy of the Dior name. There is no argument that the simplicity and elegance speak volumes. I would wear this in a heartbeat! |

However, in this totally honest review, I must confess that there were too many big balloon-shaped silhouettes, that seemed baggy and shapeless. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to look like this! Puff-balls beware! You have competition! Who knew that gorgeous runway models could look so silly? |

This final shot reminds me of maternity clothes, as this shape would certainly hide a growing belly! I just do not know what Mr. Simons was thinking! |

I appreciate that the House of Dior has had its challenges since the termination of John Galliano, but mainstream Haute Couture really should reach a higher standard than this. Unlike us, they have an unlimited budget! There were 3 more puffy looks we will not bore you with. |

We found someone that has something good to say about Dior 2014/15 AW HC! She actually has some valid points!
How did you feel about this Spring's looks from the House of Dior? Any honest opinions you would like to share are welcomed!
