Dior Fall Winter 2011/2012

The choice of models for presenting Dior Fall Winter 2011/2012 collection is unusual. Malnourished twinky boys are wearing the pieces that to me look more likely to hide a reference to bourgeois gentlemen wearing Zorro-like  hats and capes.

The House of Dior was established on December 16, 1946, in “a private house” at 30 Avenue Montaigne Paris B. However, the current Dior corporation celebrates “1947” as the opening year. On February 12, 1947, Dior launched his first fashion collection for Spring-Summer 1947. The show of “90 models of his first collection on six mannequins.”

Christian Dior, together with others in the fashion industry and the culture of the industry as a whole, was criticized by fashion model Inga Radziejewski for promoting anorexia nervosa and unrealistic body image in women, by designing clothes so small that the anorexic model could not fit into them even when she was dangerously underweight. And men are obviously no exception.
