Oh dear, not a fan... The colour palette and clothes scream Prada to me, and don't even get me started on those shoes... :sick:

My favourite Homme collection to date remains Summer 2013. Now that was a superlative collection.

Personally I think that the shoes are more tasteful than Prada's, which have the 90s "domed" plastic bottom for running shoes.

Yes, the Summer 2013 collection was a strong one. I loved the red and navy contrast. I liked the collection from the previous season as well which had enough slim-cut suits to tickle Karl Lagerfeld's fancy.

I wasn't comparing the shoes, just the clothes. Prada's men's shoes have their own special brand of "following", but these Dior Homme ones are just plain tacky. There's just too much going on.

I dunno.. I love the shoes.. (I love my shoes quirky like the prada espadrille wing tips and the elevate ones.. And the ones with the flower appliqués.. Just TDF) and the cut off blazers..

However, as much as I love the envelop briefcases, they remind me too much of the Celine Diamond clutches, only in monocolor.. Even down to the closure (just bigger)

I hope you take one home. It's an awesome watch! I love how the case-back looks so beautiful even though no one other than the wearer sees it.

Just wanted to let you know that I did indeed take this lovely Dior VIII home, only I took home a different model than I'd originally planned. I got the 28mm, and though I'd wanted it to be plain, they don't make it that way (and I was told it wasn't in the book for winter either, and I didn't want to wait any longer). In any case, I'm totally in love with it! Here's a quick late night in the dark model shot:

Thank you; fhe faceted cuts are really fabulous, and they really do catch the light (when there is light, which there wasn't for my photo). I think this is way nicer than the J12 personally. Cost was about $6600.

Wow.. Even in the dark, they catch even the littlest of light.. Just gorgeous! Hm.. 6600... Not bad considering the diamonds.. Congrats!

Thank you! Yes, you really ought to see it in the lights in the store...it's majorly bright and sparkly! I had to go in the dark fitting room just to see if I'd be able to see the hands beyond the bling. I thought the price quite reasonable (do keep in mind this is a size 28, which is the smallest size they make, which is the size that fit my wrist the best; the 33 was just too big, but many like the 35 even).

It is very tempting to buy a Dior watch now, but for sure it's not time yet.. I had enough Diors :closed: . Most of my friends wear Versace watches. They are not as expensive as Diors, but it depends!

Thanks tutushopper! I was never really a shoe lover; it was always bags and belts for me, until I bought my first pair of fine shoes. Then there was no going back, especially when it comes to dress shoes!

I know that the Cuff Me Dior is actually for women, but it can work on men depending on how it's dressed. I was hesitant at first because it looks quite feminine, but after looking at it a few times, I had to have it! Camille Miceli's Dior jewelry designs are too irresistible to pass, even for guys.

Here's my collection of Dior bracelets, all originally made for women, but can work for men as well:

(I included a picture of me wearing all three at once on one wrist, but I would only wear them one at a time when I actually use them)

Wow nice cuffs! I never knew Dior made those kinds since I associate Dior as a lady-like Classy brand that wouldn't make cuffs that are sexy lol...

Was browsing the Dior website and came across this stunning large Diorissimo in Blue Nuit with black ruthenium hardware. The dark colour paired with the black hardware is quite masculine, and would be a great option for guys. The touch of hot pink inside makes the bag really cool!

Yes! I checked out the Dior boutique and saw the large Diorissimos. I love them and I want to get one except the no zipper top part is a pull-back factor. It is disorienting after reading this thread because its mostly Dior Homme stuff but i feel weird because Dior Homme is awesome but I don't feel like its for me because i think its too masculine for my taste. It'd be perfect for my boyfriend though...Sleek masculinity...just gorgeous.
