i was bored with it honestly. The bags were mostly boring and color scheme with brown and blue?! No thanks. Not a bag in sight that I want. I find ever since he joined Dior, there has been collections I absolutely love and collections I’m totally meh on. This is one of those. No standouts except the final cape. But that is red carpet type of clothes not everyday. I find the collection dark and subdue unlike the Miami one (which I was also meh on but at least some of the bags were stand outs). I do like the Judy Blame inspired accessories.

Welcome! I creep, hopefully will be able to actually buy something on my birthday!Hey all,
Nice to e-meet you, I’m new to the forum. Here is a photo of me with my one and only Dior bag. Hope guys like her
Absolutely loved it! And I love how Kim mines the archives and utilizes the couture workshops so Dior Men's and Dior Women's are closer together rather than complete separate entities. That last coat? Spectacular, and based on an embroidery on a dress made by Marc Bohan in 1969. The opera coats with the rosettes, the gloves, it was dramatic but subtle which is in line with my style. If I had money I'd go buy the toile de jouy sweater:
Yes, its the same one that @mk1997 has.
I love the new arrivals. I saw some pieces on Thursday and there was a lot of amazing RTW. The matte-white jewelry is very nice and heavy (I'm glad they're not made of plastic), but the price points are really high, too. The CD bag charm/keychain was $1050.CAD. I thought the one with the rainbow crystals around at $900 was a lot already, for a keychain.
I picked up something that came in with the new collection, although it does not technically belong to it even though it was displayed with all the Daniel Arsham pieces. I'll reveal it once I receive it because it is getting altered.
There is an Oblique-print short-sleeve shirt which is done in Maria Grazia's style with the "web" across the hem of the shirt and sleeves that I really want, although it's not my style so I'll have to think about it. I also really like the "cracked" sweaters featuring the Daniel Arsham logo but I don't know if it will look dated in a year.
The only thing that disappointed me was the newsprint Saddle bag. I don't know why the print is on the purplish/lavendar side. I was hoping it would look more distressed (and grey) as a print. The print looks nicer on the B23s.
I look forward to seeing the next wave which may include the sheer tops with the newsprint design.
That cape. Whoa.
The blown-up Oblique prints on some of the bags was cute, but I didn't like most of the bag's designs.
The print on the shirt shown below is amazing. It's like a collage newspaper print with more detailing than in the Daniel Arsham collection, which I like.
Overall, I think the collection looks really nice. There were no sneakers (leather boots instead!), and Kim Jones further developed the women's couture codes in Dior Men.
I thought it was odd that he repeated the newspaper print for this super long shirt. I felt it belongs to the current season than this winter 2020 one. It felt to me like an after thought. Had he had more variations of the newspaper print in this show, it would feel more different imo. I was not a fan of any of those boots. Actually I pretty much only wear sneakers these days so it would take some genius design for me to jump back into leather boots/ shoes. I agree with you that it’s quite nice for Kim Jones to bring women couture into men’s. The price tag though is breathe taking... if I remember correctly, the cape will run 80k euros or something along that line. Truly couture pricing for sure.That cape. Whoa.

I was told the crystals on the charms are plastic and not real crystals. I was rather disappointed to hear that as I’m sure it wouldn’t be that much more expensive if the crystals are real. But production would had been a lot more difficult.
I really wanted something with the crack in shirt so I bought the short sleeve knit with Dior logo. Would had preferred no Dior logo on the chest but it is what it is. I thought the long version of the crack knit in beige/ light brown wouldn’t have looked flattering on me since I’m not 6’2. The length of it would not have been flattering on most frames except on models imo.
I saw the arsham saddle bag on insta which basically opens from top with a push button. The saddle bag has a hinge on the bottom. I was rather disappointed as that means the bag can’t really be used in real life as ever time you open the bag, everything will spill out. Along with Sorayama saddle bag, I guess this is more for display than anything else.
Any of the "hard" Saddle bags are editorial and aren't practical. The Arsham version reminds me of pottery or ceramics. I prefer the Sorayama one because the mirrored metal gives it an incredibly futuristic and robotic vibe. The Arsham version could actually have been made in leather with the relief Oblique design pressed into the leather. I think that would have made for a much more wearable and affordable version of the Saddle.
Hi, I’m considering getting the black or light pink leather saddle clutch. Can you tell me what fits inside. Thx so much
