Creative director Kris Van Assche explores the Dior man's plural identities in his latest collection
"Today, people don't just fit in one box, they fit into many and all at once," says Kris Van Assche, Dior Homme's creative director. "Traces of memory and tradition can still exist, but these happen without nostalgia: This is the hybridization of now."
Hybrids were Van Assche's idee fixe in his latest fall collection for Dior Homme. He took tartan, plaid, and Fair Isles patterns, referencing New Wave and skateboard culture, but mixed those "less noble" materials with leather volumes and florals, offering a provocative new silhouette for the Dior man, on a color palette of neon red, black, and white.
