one day at the internship, me and another intern had a long discussion over Dior and Alexander McQueen. he totally disagreed with the idea of Alexander McQueen as the next in line for Christian Dior. but i thought, is it really that hard to understand? most of the pieces created by him do have Dior staples.
Alexander Mcqueen
Here, we see similarities on the pocket epaulets on the Dior Jacket and McQueen dress.
a simple Dior suit on the right, and a similar idea transformed by McQueen on the left.
The photographs to the left showhis is just a few of many examples of McQueens use of Dior staples. and he does it very well. not only does he do it in a creative, artistic way, but it is also very wearable, and commercially successful. Under Galliano, Dior is successful as well, but has also become very predictable. Do you think that ifMcQueen were to step in, Dior may come back to prominence as it did in the late 90's?
