Dior Ready to Wear Cruise 2014

I am watching the Dior Ready to Wear Cruise 2014 fashion show online on the Dior website.

First up is a model wearing the “foil dress”.

The foil dress is cute. The model looks great in it of course because skinny girls pretty much look great in everything.

The “foil dress” is a sheer black dress with 2 shimmery silver panels adorning the skirt part and breaking up the sheerness just above the knee and mid-way up the thighs. There’s a third panel at the hip location and some decorative details at the top near the bodice area. Every other part of the dress is blatantly see-through.

You’d have to completely lack a sense of decorum to go out in public wearing the dress while wearing nothing underneath. There are certain celebrities who might actually try to get away with that. For sure there are at least a couple I can think of off the top of my head who” even if they might not chance complete nudity under this dress would intentionally strive to go as close to being naked under the dress as they could manage.

The model is wearing metallic cotton underwear styled to make the sheerness of the dress not quite so appalling. In other words she’s at least not wearing a thong and pasties.

The next model is wearing a similarly styled dress except her dress is a pale blue sheer dress with red decorative details. Although it’s not quite as in your face sheer as the first dress you can still see right though the dress. The suggested underwear style is the same as with the first model–covered up rather than exposed. With a dress like this you have to try to pretend like you’re not just out looking to show off everything right? Dior’s goal isn’t make women look trashy after all. So the bottoms have more of a granny panty shape even if they don’t look like granny panties and the top has more of a cropped-top appearance.

I probably wouldn’t wear either of these two dresses for the simple fact they are totally sheer. I don’t get the obsession with sheer clothing. I think designers have taken it a little far; but then I realize they wouldn’t go there if they weren’t getting away with it. If women didn’t like being exposed they wouldn’t wear clothes that expose them; but they do wear these styles to the point where nowadays it seems you can’t even find a top that’s not see-through to some degree.

Now the cobalt blue and the red pant suits” these I can see myself wearing. I can’t afford them of course; but I would definitely wear them.

More from Dior Ready to Wear Cruise 2014

There are quite a number of sheer pieces or items that expose a woman in one way or another. It’s like the emphasis is on showing as much as you can without actually walking around stark naked. Put it all on display” or as much of it as you can get away with and still be called “stylish” instead of slutty. Truth be told I don’t know how these styles would be received on everyday streets; and by everyday streets I mean the streets that normal every day women walk. Not the streets walked by high fashion models and other famous women.

Here’s one dress that I find very interesting. It’s not only sheer but in the back it is held together by attached bows. It’s cute but really does a woman need a dress that is simultaneously sheer and practically wide open in the back? I don’t know…

The dress is described as a pale pink and red silk and lace dress.

But then you start strutting your stuff down the street pretending you’re on the catwalk and minimally risque becomes full on over-exposure

I’m not sure I see the need for this much exposure. There’s no need to be showing your crotch to the world. Of course I stand by what I wrote yesterday in defending Rihanna’s right to wear whatever she wants to wear (re: walking around in Monacco wearing her bathing suit),. Even so I think the envelope is getting pushed a little farther than necessary with these see-through and cut open clothes.
