The thing about this collection is that while it's not bad, it's what I'd want from her Ready to Wear collections. This, to me, is not the extravagant Dior Haute Couture that the house is, or was, known for. I can't help but just see this as any old Ready to Wear.
I need an update on the recent and upcoming models of 2018. Also you are an amazing youtuber and also the only one who talks about real fashion news and reviews. I'm honestly tired of these youtubers thinking that Forver 21 is the heights of fashion... Love you!!
All of my fashion taste must be in my mouth, cause I was getting major Through The Looking Glass vibes and I loved it. Mathematically speaking every piece was constructed flawlessly. And LETS BE REAL, this day and age I'm happy if I like only a tiny hand full of looks in anyone's collection. Thank you for creating amazing content!!
Yeah the pieces were made to look good, but it’s more of a ready-to-wear than haute couture. That’s one of the reasons people are mad with Maria no-grazia. If you want to see really good haute couture search for fw 2003 Christian Dior
Search any haute couture show with Galliano at the helm, doesn’t even compare. Looks like a completely different brand. This collection was so underwhelming, it’s not necessarily her fault though, she had big shoes to fill.
while some of the dresses are beautifully constructed the show is not win for me, but i can't help loving the way you put your words to describe the collection. You speak the truth, and the harsh one if you have to, and I kinda love the way you do this. Thank you for a great video!
Luke, while I always find something to disagree with you on, I love how you express your opinion 😂 your wit always puts a smile on my face. I can't wait to read your opinion pieces on Marie Claire or Vogue in the future.
also can we have a roast of I Am Gia The Label and all brands alike.... still seeing pink camo, red mesh turtlenecks and vinyl skirts in 2018 is making my eyes dry up
Am I seeing a woman dressed as a domino set? Christian Dior is rolling in his grave.... The only I liked was the white cape at 5:14 (exquisite work). And I liked the cage structure (just wish the looks were not so transparent... that is not Dior elegance... she could have played a lot around that structure, and did nothing with it).
Poor woman can't keep track of whom she's working for. Bad as the collection is, it looks as if it was intended for Gattinoni or Schiaparelli. Her taste is intrinsically italian and try as she might, she will never be able to affect the baroque sensibility needed for a house like Dior. People are praising the 'beautiful organza glasses' by 'iconic milliner' Stephen Jones, but even those are nothing new. He's already done similar work for Ungaro Couture back in Autumn 2000.
Tbh this show was a success to me, the best one of Maria Grazia and yes, my inner rich woman wearing couture that I will never be is exited for the future
I get the fashion critic's point of view, that she wasn't faithful to the artistic source that inspired her, but as a non fashion critic/expert, I couldn't care less about that, all I saw was beautiful wearable clothes, but then I'm just a dreamer who dreams of wearing these clothes. ( and looking vaguely very remotely like any one of those models )
When I graduated from fashion for my exam I made a collection based on surrealism and pieces inspired by the painters, writers, designers, directors and photographers that were a part of this art movement, Diors collection looks nothing surrealistic!! I would have expected something like Tom Walkers photography instead, I love your videos there wasn't a better way to analyze and critique the collection and show ❤️ I share each video on my Facebook and always say for people to check out your chanel!
Seeing the title (no offense), I thought this was one of those uninformed drama channels. I mean roast is used so offhandedly, you know? I was _very_ pleasantly surprised. I LOVE the video! This is regardless of whether I agree with you or not. You're well informed and give valid criticism. Looking forward to your future content and I'm glad UA-cam recommended your videos to me.
On a positive note, her haute couture is generally much stronger than her ready to wear. Maybe Phoebe Philo should take over dior? If they want another woman designer it should be her
It was a pretty collection. Like you said I think the masks/glasses were the star of the show and the space was beautiful. Something about this Dior intrigues me but I'm not dying for more. I can't wait for all the new videos and to meet more of the HLM family
I liked this collection hahahah! But still love your comments and videos. Also, you could tell more about your taste, cause when I watch your videos, it’s a little difficult to know what you expect for a collection or why you didn’t like in those. You great, kisses
In my opinion I think Maria is finally getting something of the DIOR Essence!!!!!! We shall wait another 3 months to see if she can move to higher heights and deeper depths!!!! IF NOT.well...............
I actually think its an interesting collection, excellent tailoring and the actual concept is very clear. I honestly think she wasn't only inspired by one artist but by many surrealists, as I can see references to Salvador Dali with the butterfly's, the red, checkerboards and dominoes. Also, I think Maria Grazia Chiuri is doing something completely different from the other designers who worked as Creative directors at Dior, Raf simons was someone who worked with color and the silhouettes as many other designers, but I feel like she's always working with the essence and the feel of the collection, the clothes are interesting mostly because they aren't extremely embellished or extreme silhouettes. Her focus is on the tailoring and on the intelligence rather than the usual beauty and elegance feel.
I'm excited to hear other people's opinion but I am always hesitant to subscribe to other channels. I've gone through a few and none are as straightforward and personal as yours
I actually enjoyed the show. Huge improvement from previous ones. I think we need to give the woman a chance to settle and find her groove with the house... Thanks for your insight. Always very entertaining!
Hey Luke, I adore your perception in fashion, that’s why I was wondering if you’d like to make an style/ootd roast on people who would like to send submissions, like Joel (Gallucks) does sometimes in his channel.
I actually think this is my most tolerable MGC for Dior show. I don’t know what to categorize them as, the masks? Headwear? Whatever you call them, ughh i just could see myself during every big moment of my life wearing a piece. The golden square ones i can imagine myself wearing if i ever should wed. I also think Aquaria made them seem so commonplace on a vh1 red carpet (why haven’t any stylist dared to do that prior to that event??!) I’m just sad they couldnt have lent Giovanni a real pair....
I like your channel and you're really funny! but when you talked about the boobs thing, won't most clients just have the dress lined with a skin-tone fabric or opt for a less transparent material? I thought designers showed the unlined see-through dresses with no under garment so that the audience can get a sense of what fabric is being used since they can't physically touch it.
I agree, I watched the first half of the show last night and then fell asleep, so I got the gist, there were things that were pretty and things that I liked but “best of the worst” is an accurate statement. Again like everyone else the masks saved the show, the masks were amazing yeah. But this show kind of reminded me when you go to a really low end fashion show and a lot of it’s bad but those few good things make it look good, like it’s exciting when you see something that isn’t totally bleh. I just don’t like her for Dior.
\THIS IS VALENTINO FALL 2016, I WILL NEVER GET MARIA AT DIOR, NEVER (oh, i forgot, NUMBERS OF SELLING)! And my favorite look is the all feathered b&w dress, i don't know why, but i felt an whisper of Galliano there!
Honey, I love your essay or review about the show in the description. Anyway, I do see a hint of tim blanks in you and I don't know why... anyway keep them coming.
I agree that this collection is quite dull and does not capture the boldness of surrealism. On a positive note, I didn't see anything that i would not wear, but where is the art? It seems like they have gone for a more marketable collection. Also; WHERE IS THE COLOR?
I actually feel pretty much the same as you about this collection, for me it started very well, very focused and at some point it lost it´s conductive thread in a way and then it came back, there were 73 looks so I personally would have edited it and show around 55-58, keep the most interesting and leave all the more classic or repetitive offerings off, I also love the masks, they finish the looks wonderfully!!, it is also my favourite show from her so far and I wouldn´t like to see her go, I think she is actually selling, we get to see a lot of her shoes and t-shirts on social media, so I think she is actually making money for them, one of the things I HATE the most from Dior is this extremely annoying thing the have been doing since Raf was there in which they put only one song as a soundtrack that repeats the entire show, most of the times a very boring song that you have to deal with... Music is so important to express the mood of the collections so this way of cutting expenses for them is not doing much of a favour.
I think you're judging this collection a bit harshly. This really was a solid show with impeccably tailored pieces that catered to Dior's demographic. Was it groundbreaking? Definitely not. But there is definitely room for beautiful clothes and that is what she delivered.
I just want to thank you for teaching me the proper way to pronounce many fashion industry terms such as haute, yves saint laurent, and vetements.... I've watched so many youtube girls with 100s of thousands of followers say "saint lar-aunt" and I cringe everytime now
mmm this review was really helpful because initially i liked the collection and i still do but knowing the reference and her inspiration now, it's really obvious that it fell flat. there are many easy routes she could have followed to achieve her vision for example using painted fabrics, abstract designs or three dimensional tailoring but she just stuck with pretty dresses. i want to see more than beautiful dresses that's why i don't care much for the likes of elie saab, zuhair murad etc dior is really going down the drain and we don't see much exciting stuff anymore. i care less and less about the brand everyday. nice review
Isnt haute couture supposed to be one of a kind and unique and out of this world. This collection just seems lika any other sad maria gratzia ready to wear line. Ahh the glasses are beyond beautiful tho.
I admit, when you said Surrealism I instantly noted I did *not* get surrealism from this show at all lmfao. But then it’s like, “Why would Maria go for Surrealism for the Haus of Dior anyway?” I guess because of the criticism that her looks are boring. Either way, I actually liked the collection believe it or not. It was okay. Someone said it was more like RTW than Haut Couture and bitch is that true.
I have always think MGC hiding behind Stephen Jones. Lol. More variety garments but still dull..cant..i love you vid so much cant wait for anothrr couture vids :) cheers..
This is interesting. Many of these pieces seem inspired by the new curated exhibit "Je Suis Couturier" which features the highlights of Azzedine Alaia's life work. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps homage.
She is bringing shame to the Dior house. I was watching some shows from the Galliano era, I almost cried thinking that now this talentless woman is the head of this legendary fashion house.
The thing about this collection is that while it's not bad, it's what I'd want from her Ready to Wear collections. This, to me, is not the extravagant Dior Haute Couture that the house is, or was, known for. I can't help but just see this as any old Ready to Wear.
whippet101 Yep Mid 2000s ready to wear without any acessories
100% agree, I was literally just thinking the same thing when I read your comment haha
While you were roasting her, I kept thinking "but her masks are beautiful!!!" and then you told us they weren't done by her. Jeez
Ooshy same! Those masks are great
The only highlight of the show were the Stephen jones masks. God bless his soul
Literally same
Same. Loved the masks.
A roast of commercial fashion brands and trends would be sooooo perfect....all these fuckboys thinking supreme is high fashion will be put to dust.
Tanya Joshi no fuckboy wears supreme they’re hypebeast and they know it’s street wear
Tanya Joshi also supreme makes so many collars with famous designers and artists like cdg or akari and not just box logo hoodies
Yesss
Who cares...
I need an update on the recent and upcoming models of 2018. Also you are an amazing youtuber and also the only one who talks about real fashion news and reviews. I'm honestly tired of these youtubers thinking that Forver 21 is the heights of fashion... Love you!!
Stephen has outdone himself, those masks are beautiful. Maria has also outdone herself, but that's not saying much...
All of my fashion taste must be in my mouth, cause I was getting major Through The Looking Glass vibes and I loved it.
Mathematically speaking every piece was constructed flawlessly. And LETS BE REAL, this day and age I'm happy if I like only a tiny hand full of looks in anyone's collection.
Thank you for creating amazing content!!

Totally agree 100%
Oh no, we can see the bubbies overneath

also can we have a roast of I Am Gia The Label and all brands alike.... still seeing pink camo, red mesh turtlenecks and vinyl skirts in 2018 is making my eyes dry up
Blessed to see two uploads in the same 24 hours. 2018 will be a great year after all.
Am I seeing a woman dressed as a domino set? Christian Dior is rolling in his grave.... The only I liked was the white cape at 5:14 (exquisite work). And I liked the cage structure (just wish the looks were not so transparent... that is not Dior elegance... she could have played a lot around that structure, and did nothing with it).
yes the white cape is divine!!!!
I defs prefer these scripted roasts, much wittier and cutting!
The tailoring seems off too. The suits look like they’re made out of cardboard.
sutis is one of maria's weakest points, yet she keeps coming back to them
Poor woman can't keep track of whom she's working for. Bad as the collection is, it looks as if it was intended for Gattinoni or Schiaparelli. Her taste is intrinsically italian and try as she might, she will never be able to affect the baroque sensibility needed for a house like Dior. People are praising the 'beautiful organza glasses' by 'iconic milliner' Stephen Jones, but even those are nothing new. He's already done similar work for Ungaro Couture back in Autumn 2000.
In this house, we wake up at 4am to watch hautelemode vids😁😁
Tbh this show was a success to me, the best one of Maria Grazia and yes, my inner rich woman wearing couture that I will never be is exited for the future
Top shelf criticism. Unbiased, fair and informative.
I get the fashion critic's point of view, that she wasn't faithful to the artistic source that inspired her, but as a non fashion critic/expert, I couldn't care less about that, all I saw was beautiful wearable clothes, but then I'm just a dreamer who dreams of wearing these clothes. ( and looking vaguely very remotely like any one of those models )
It just felt very ready to wear and not haute Couture.
When I graduated from fashion for my exam I made a collection based on surrealism and pieces inspired by the painters, writers, designers, directors and photographers that were a part of this art movement, Diors collection looks nothing surrealistic!! I would have expected something like Tom Walkers photography instead, I love your videos there wasn't a better way to analyze and critique the collection and show ❤️ I share each video on my Facebook and always say for people to check out your chanel!
Bubbies
"Maria Grazia continues to hide behind different artists work to push her collections."
EXACTLY.
Seeing the title (no offense), I thought this was one of those uninformed drama channels. I mean roast is used so offhandedly, you know? I was _very_ pleasantly surprised. I LOVE the video! This is regardless of whether I agree with you or not. You're well informed and give valid criticism. Looking forward to your future content and I'm glad UA-cam recommended your videos to me.
Your distain for Maria is everything
On a positive note, her haute couture is generally much stronger than her ready to wear. Maybe Phoebe Philo should take over dior? If they want another woman designer it should be her
I think this collection is better than those previous one Maria did. I think she did good job for this collection.
It was a pretty collection. Like you said I think the masks/glasses were the star of the show and the space was beautiful. Something about this Dior intrigues me but I'm not dying for more. I can't wait for all the new videos and to meet more of the HLM family
Her designs just bore me. I feel as if I'm looking through a recycling bin of previous fashion weeks. It just feels played out and pointless.
just loved the cage on the dresses 😍
I actually really liked this collection however this is ready to wear not haute couture.
The bubbies
I LOVE the collection!
Had I not known the inspiration behind her collection, I would have liked this collection a lot.
Havent seen the full video yet and im already nodding my head furiously in agreement!
LOOL beat me to it. I was literally about to destroy the haute couture. Thanks a lot Luke. It's so over-rated because it's Dior and it frustrates me.
I liked this collection hahahah! But still love your comments and videos. Also, you could tell more about your taste, cause when I watch your videos, it’s a little difficult to know what you expect for a collection or why you didn’t like in those. You great, kisses
I am so glad I found this channel!
In my opinion I think Maria is finally getting something of the DIOR Essence!!!!!! We shall wait another 3 months to see if she can move to higher heights and deeper depths!!!! IF NOT.well...............

I'm excited to hear other people's opinion but I am always hesitant to subscribe to other channels. I've gone through a few and none are as straightforward and personal as yours
Wow. Your opinion is quite like what I thought about how she delivered Surrealist into the shape and innovation for Dior.
I actually enjoyed the show. Huge improvement from previous ones. I think we need to give the woman a chance to settle and find her groove with the house... Thanks for your insight. Always very entertaining!
The makeup was everything tho
Could you do Moschino pre-fall 2018 roast?
SMH She needs this Roast. Haven’t even watched but I’m here for the notif
Hey Luke, I adore your perception in fashion, that’s why I was wondering if you’d like to make an style/ootd roast on people who would like to send submissions, like Joel (Gallucks) does sometimes in his channel.
When I saw those glasses on Instagram, I honestly thought they were a filter. That’s how surreal they look! You were so right, they were the stars
I liked most of the pieces
As you said... 'The best of the worst'Her best collection for Dior yet.
And Mr. Jones stole the show
I actually think this is my most tolerable MGC for Dior show. I don’t know what to categorize them as, the masks? Headwear? Whatever you call them, ughh i just could see myself during every big moment of my life wearing a piece. The golden square ones i can imagine myself wearing if i ever should wed. I also think Aquaria made them seem so commonplace on a vh1 red carpet (why haven’t any stylist dared to do that prior to that event??!) I’m just sad they couldnt have lent Giovanni a real pair....

I thought designers showed the unlined see-through dresses with no under garment so that the audience can get a sense of what fabric is being used since they can't physically touch it.
i felt this coming
Could you do a video naming your favorite and worst shows of spring/summer 18
I agree, I watched the first half of the show last night and then fell asleep, so I got the gist, there were things that were pretty and things that I liked but “best of the worst” is an accurate statement. Again like everyone else the masks saved the show, the masks were amazing yeah. But this show kind of reminded me when you go to a really low end fashion show and a lot of it’s bad but those few good things make it look good, like it’s exciting when you see something that isn’t totally bleh. I just don’t like her for Dior.
Her buh-bees ...you're coo cute lol
THANK YOU!!!! finally someone says this I've been saying it since she started butchering the brand !!
I think this is Maria's best show so far in Dior, however, it's probably mostly because of the head pieces. Still very Valentino-ish to me.
I freakin love your channel! Thanks for your consistent honest opinions!
\THIS IS VALENTINO FALL 2016, I WILL NEVER GET MARIA AT DIOR, NEVER (oh, i forgot, NUMBERS OF SELLING)! And my favorite look is the all feathered b&w dress, i don't know why, but i felt an whisper of Galliano there!
Big fan of your channel BTW
Well I loved it.
Honey, I love your essay or review about the show in the description. Anyway, I do see a hint of tim blanks in you and I don't know why... anyway keep them coming.
2 UPLOADS IN ONE DAY BIIIITTCCHH
I agree that this collection is quite dull and does not capture the boldness of surrealism. On a positive note, I didn't see anything that i would not wear, but where is the art? It seems like they have gone for a more marketable collection. Also; WHERE IS THE COLOR?
Some of her designs were nice and the masks were cool.
You're too harsh on Maria GC.
I actually feel pretty much the same as you about this collection, for me it started very well, very focused and at some point it lost it´s conductive thread in a way and then it came back, there were 73 looks so I personally would have edited it and show around 55-58, keep the most interesting and leave all the more classic or repetitive offerings off, I also love the masks, they finish the looks wonderfully!!, it is also my favourite show from her so far and I wouldn´t like to see her go, I think she is actually selling, we get to see a lot of her shoes and t-shirts on social media, so I think she is actually making money for them, one of the things I HATE the most from Dior is this extremely annoying thing the have been doing since Raf was there in which they put only one song as a soundtrack that repeats the entire show, most of the times a very boring song that you have to deal with... Music is so important to express the mood of the collections so this way of cutting expenses for them is not doing much of a favour.
Would love to see you make a video on Givenchy. I was pleasantly surprised and thought it was amazing XD
How do you solve a problem like Maria ? Amazing
I think you're judging this collection a bit harshly. This really was a solid show with impeccably tailored pieces that catered to Dior's demographic. Was it groundbreaking? Definitely not. But there is definitely room for beautiful clothes and that is what she delivered.
When fashion houses are owned by conglomerates, designers are changed like Geminis change their minds.
i love how u say bubbies
I just want to thank you for teaching me the proper way to pronounce many fashion industry terms such as haute, yves saint laurent, and vetements.... I've watched so many youtube girls with 100s of thousands of followers say "saint lar-aunt" and I cringe everytime now

Do you think Galliano , should be brought back to Dior ?
3:23 That dress i gorgeous!!
Isnt haute couture supposed to be one of a kind and unique and out of this world. This collection just seems lika any other sad maria gratzia ready to wear line. Ahh the glasses are beyond beautiful tho.
There was ONE RED LOOK and that was the only color.
I love your channel but girl why you always hating on everyone.
i think you missed the point and essence of the collection............humble yourself by trying to improve on her collection.
I admit, when you said Surrealism I instantly noted I did *not* get surrealism from this show at all lmfao. But then it’s like, “Why would Maria go for Surrealism for the Haus of Dior anyway?” I guess because of the criticism that her looks are boring. Either way, I actually liked the collection believe it or not. It was okay. Someone said it was more like RTW than Haut Couture and bitch is that true.
Love your content 💖💖💖
Surrealisim started in the 20s in Europe
And I completely agree with everything you said those glasses were great the rest was if even mediocre
Agreed!!!
Didn’t Aquaria wear one of those masks on RPDR?
Wait shes leaving dior? U said shes leaving dior
I feel as if we just have an extension of her work at Valentino for Dior, and we want Dior!!!
This is giving me alice and wonderland.
I really want you to do a video about the breathtaking iris van herpen show! The show was divine and I'm dying to hear your opinions on her
Please please please do Thom Browne
The only surrealistic thing about this whole thing was the glasses
The start of the discription kills me 😂
I have always think MGC hiding behind Stephen Jones. Lol. More variety garments but still dull..cant..i love you vid so much cant wait for anothrr couture vids :) cheers..
This is interesting. Many of these pieces seem inspired by the new curated exhibit "Je Suis Couturier" which features the highlights of Azzedine Alaia's life work. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps homage.
i actually disagree with your interpretation of surrealism, and i really enjoyed this collection.
Have you ever seen any Russian shows?
"Overneath"
First, it’s not fall. It’s SS 2018 couture. At least get that right first
She is bringing shame to the Dior house.
I was watching some shows from the Galliano era, I almost cried thinking that now this talentless woman is the head of this legendary fashion house.
She gotta go NOW!
Just curious, doesn’t this video infringe on copyrights?
