The event to close out this decade took location yesterday on a awesome Miami night as well as Vlad as well as I were privileged to be part of the event (all pics in this publish are from Vlad!). awesome was quickly the style of the night, however let’s be honest: Kim Jones has taken Dior Mennswear beyond cool. He’s made it extremely covetable as well as that is no simple feat, however one that Jones not only accomplished however likewise does so with such ease. ideal next to the amazing Rubell household Collection, one of the greatest personal contemporary art collections in North America, Dior staged a takeover for its Men’s autumn 2020 show. A huge Miami storehouse was covered in the Dior logo which was reimagined by Shawn Stussy. Yes, that Stussy. Jones resurrected Stussy 20 years after he parted with his namesake brand for this collaboration.
Stussy was the original graphic tee as well as surf/streetwear brand. It was the brand of the 90s that everybody understood as well as coveted. For this collection, there were references to past Dior collections (think 60s) together with black as well as white graphics created by Stussy himself. Stussy reimagined the logo as well as famous Dior bee with his signature touch. The entire facade of the building that housed the show was covered in Stussy’s Dior, as were the walls as well as floors of the runway. While some may discover this partnership out of left field, Kim Jones is the master artist collaborator. He was the driving force behind ultimate x Louis Vuitton as well as considering that taking the helm at Dior has reinvented the menswear classification by bringing the perfect mix of high as well as low with just the ideal formula. The garments was bright, just as you’d expect for a Miami themed show, with pinks, yellows, greens, as well as blues pairing with a lot more wearable tan colors against the general stylish vibe. The traditional tailoring one expects from the home was lacking, however that is sure to re-emerge in his next collection.
Another partnership that was sent down the runway had everybody buzzing: the Dior x Air Jordan 1. These shoes have “Air Dior” punched into the famous Wings logo with the Dior Oblique logo jacquard print featured in the Swoosh of the shoe. The bottoms have a translucent sole with the Dior graphic. These shoes represent the apex of partnerships for sneakerheads as well as must be released in April 2020 with a rumored cost of $2,000. We ran into Travis Scott on his method into the show (no really, ran into him) as well as he was already using the shoes that will definitely offer out as well as instantly re-emerge on the resale market with a large markup.
Let’s talk bags, shall we? As womenswear as well as menswear continue to step toward one one more with less focus on distinctly for guy as well as for women, the bags Kim Jones produced showed just that – wearability for all. There was a larger Dior Saddlebag for the dudes, an large hobo-like shape, that I might quickly see women coveting as well. The a lot more traditional Saddlebag shape for guy is indicated to be used crossbody as well as a few renditions of this were shown. This bag is the standout of his men’s accessory line, as it fuses a modern, futuristic vibe with a extremely traditional shape. The Dior jacquard material in a charming tan color made its method onto a handful of bags, from a midsection bag to a hold to a saddle bag. There were totes, of course, as well as larger backpacks together with beachy wicker compact bags as well.
Kim Jones’ Dior Menswear line is fresh as well as invigorating as well as the crowd agreed, providing him a roaring standing ovation. He produces must-have wares as well as melds the house’s history with newness while producing partnerships that will go down as a few of the most famous of all time. The show as well as celebration that complied with were a masterclass in enjoyment (more on that tomorrow). as for the collection… well let’s state that Jones understands who the Dior client of our time is, as well as he’s broadening the reach with every step he makes.
