The fashion industry is abuzz with speculation regarding the *upcoming* departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri from her role at Christian Dior. This notable Italian designer made history in 2016 by becoming the first female creative director of this prestigious French fashion house. As rumors circulate that Jonathan Anderson, previously associated with Loewe, may take her place, anticipation grows. Back in January, Dior made headlines with its stunning Pre-Fall 2025 collection showcased in Kyoto, Japan. This collection beautifully honored Monsieur Christian Dior’s lifelong passion for florals and birds, reflecting a deep appreciation for nature. Collaborating with local Japanese artisans, some of whom have had a relationship with the brand for over 70 years, MGC created a unique collection. Set against the serene backdrop of the Toji Temple garden, models showcased elegant long overcoats and dresses in a muted, monochromatic color palette, enhancing the collection’s sophistication.

“The chosen location appears to surpass Chanel’s, yet I find myself exhausted by the recurring clichés, especially when the references and inspirations behind these collections feel minimal and uninspired.” [JohannesL]

“The overall aesthetic feels very somber and lacks vibrancy.” [oioioi]

“Honestly, it’s essentially the same collection as always. It reminds me of what she did at Valentino for a Pre-Fall collection back in 2016. This designer seems completely devoid of fresh ideas, yet she continues to persist in the fashion world, churning out repetitive designs.” [Frederic01]

“The production value feels quite low. Where are the innovative ideas?” [Norden]

“I mean… different location, same clothes. It’s just a cycle repeating itself.” [proseccotabis]

“The Japanese influences were incorporated in such a literal, bland, and uninspiring fashion. I wish MGC had taken a more imaginative approach.” [Kennnn]

“From a purely clothing perspective, there’s much to admire in this collection. I truly appreciate the cut of those pants and the coats – while they may seem simple, they resonate with my personal style. Even the platform sandals are appealing.” [Lola701]

“What an incredibly beautiful setting for the collection.” [brandon J pierre]
