I haven't watched the show yet although I have seen some photos. I am not liking most of what I see. The Jack logos done in Oblique style look like a cheap brand is trying to imitate Dior. Usually the Dior logo adapts to another style (i.e. Stussy), rather than the other way around.
As much as I loved the show (the set, the soundtrack!) and some of the silhouettes, I know exactly what you mean, it does feel like another brand. The sunglasses are giving me Balenciaga vibes, though I love the ones worn by Bella Hadid with the chains! That Cactus Jack print sure looks like a poor imitation, but strangely enough, I wouldn't mind getting a small piece with this print on it as it's not that often we see Dior altering its Oblique print
I have now had a chance to watch the video of the show and there were some pieces that were okay, although there are so many pieces I don't want. I don't like any of that cactus jewelry, and the iteration of the Dior logo on some of the products looks hideous to me (I'm referring to the squiggly logo at the back of the shoe).As much as I loved the show (the set, the soundtrack!) and some of the silhouettes, I know exactly what you mean, it does feel like another brand.

I do like the Sacai collaboration, but at some point it is death by collaboration. Thankfully the women's side of Dior seems a bit immune to this. Maria Grazia Chiuri does work with several different production facilities and artists, but the end result has her signature everywhere.
Thanks! I was surprised that they sold out at my boutique in my size, but they still have them in Vancouver. If your SA is somehow able to transfer your size in, then you can end up with a pair. I only got them because Dior hardly ever makes an "all-black" shoe (even this isn't truly all black), and I wanted it to match some of my other black Dior pieces.
The one on the invitation to the show is also terrible...I have now had a chance to watch the video of the show and there were some pieces that were okay, although there are so many pieces I don't want.

As for the Jack Oblique print, it is growing a bit on me although I will stick to my initial gut reaction, which is that it looks like a brand is trying to imitate Dior, especially to someone who did not know this collection existed.
I agree, collaboration after collaboration, I don't see how that's sustainable. He did a great job with this team for Resort 2022, it was really refreshing!
I agree! That one is awful as well! Looks like chicken scratch.
The belt bag should still be available. At least it will be one piece that you can consider from the collection. It is nice, as you said before. Price point is high for a belt bag, but it's Dior so the prices are expected now.Thanks, I tried. None in my size in Canada.
I've enjoyed most of the collabs so far, there are many slights alterations on the same theme across the collections and an "essential" collection together with the smaller drops. This is by a long shot my least favorite though. I like a few leather goods (but some look exactly like Jaquemus...) and that's it. Every collection can't be a winner I guess.
