Thanks for posting!

IMO it looks like they pulled off a really cool AF1 (dat price tho) and phoned in the rest of the collection. Really disappointed.

I‘m also a bit disappointed with the Stussy collection. They had these cool teasers, colorful wallpapers (love the green/yellow shades) but the pieces are all... meh. I remember Dior not dropping everything at once, is that correct? Might just wait for the second drop but so far it’s a big nope from me.

There is a second drop (one of the SAs said July 10).

I'm actually liking the collection more now that I see the pieces, especially some that didn't stand out in the runway because the models were each wearing so many accessories and so many layers of clothing that some pieces got hidden. I'm not a fan of Stussy normally (not that I dislike it. It just never got my attention) but there are some really nice pieces in this collection that can become nice wardrobe staples. I got the Oblique denim shirt, and saw a sheer black T-shirt with small Stussy-style Dior logos all over it which actually made the logos look subtle. I may get it once I recover from my recent spending spree. The multicolour silk Hawaiian shirt with the Stussy Dior print is actually very beautiful, but is $4500 CAD which is ridiculous, even if it goes on sale at 50% off eventually! The B23s from this collection are interesting, as are the costume jewelry.

I still like the Arsham collection a lot more as there are still pieces from that collection I still want.

Yeah you’re not wrong. I ended up getting the bomber, which I felt was one of the best pieces, the bucket hat, and the side bag. Was thinking about the sweater.

The price is probably due to the manual labor involved making the shirt. The H scarves made by the same family in Kyoto are more expensive than the regular ones.



I don't care for this collection either, but it seems to be really popular.

Another saddle pouch?

The box is misleading...it's RTW!

My SA contacted me about this sweater which wasn't really on my radar before. He said it was the only one in this size in Canada (only 4 of this sweater in general were sent to Canada, all to the Bloor flagship). Is it really that rare? Anyone else know of the stock of this item from the US or other countries?

The logos are HUGE! Looks kind of cute. The last photo is of me trying it on in the change room. The logos appear brown but they are actually a mix of blue, orange, and beige threads.20200709_215816.jpg20200709_215859.jpg20200709_160130.jpg

Fawn!

I saw this one yesterday and because I love knitwear I was all over this jumper.... until I saw the price.

It looks great on you and I’m definitely jealous! Enjoy! :)

Thanks! Yeah the prices of their RTW are ridiculous, although I'm getting more used to them by now. When I got the first sheer Oblique devore T-shirt, I thought that it was an extreme price for a T-shirt, but now it just seems...normal for Dior.

I know that feeling. Ever since shopping at Chanel, everything seems to be a steal like ‘oh, 2000 euro for a bag is a fair price’

Of course it isn’t but I think you become somewhat desensitized. To me it’s surprising that Dior commands these high prices because technically they haven’t been ‘up there’ for very long but it seems to work for them. I mean I was also willing to pay crazy money for the book tote.

Gosh I dare not venture much higher. I find some Vuitton prices insane, too. Don't want to become desensitized (that's the right word!) to those prices, as they are a slippery slope to even higher spending.

I do find the Kim Jones Dior Men items to be noticeably more expensive than the older Dior Homme stuff.

I was invited to check out the Air Dior items at my local boutique, and despite some people saying that the prices are a lot higher than normal, I found the prices of the items to be consistent with other Dior Men items. Their T-shirts were $890 CAD, which is actually slightly lower than comparable Stussy T-shirts at $960 CAD. I think some people haven't become desensitized to Dior Men's higher prices yet.
