Dior Men S/S 2023 Paris

Thank you @yslforever and @Frederic01
I just want to say « AGAIN? »

I think we have yet to see a fully designed by himself collection from Kim Jones for Dior.

I don’t find the collection appealing. I don’t find Dior men appealing. I think people who wears it don’t really have style, the shows are not indicative of a particular style or aesthetic. It’s all about branding I guess.

His work for Vuitton had so much allure! What happened?



In reality, that kind of show for a brand that big would be a total nightmare to organize. Only smaller brands manage to organize that type of shows. The Vuitton « Pompidou » collection would have been impossible to organize outside the Centre Pompidou, much like the Chanel collection with the Eiffel Tower…

I fully agree Kim was impeccable at Vuitton, minus the monogrammed pieces obviously, because I almost philosophically refuse monograms.
At Dior, the only collab I loved (and I am going to cherish those pieces) was the Peter Doig once, it all went down-hill, even down-"cliff", after that.
I also checked the Granville Christian Dior Museum; it doesn't actually belong to CD or LVMH but to the town itself. I was a bit surprised at all the buzz CD did about by that "Galerie Dior" at 30 Montaigne while they never did anything for the Granville Museum, I know understand why.
