In the light of the moon Dior Men presents itself in the Great Pyramid of Giza

It all starts with Monsieur Dior's “lucky star”. One of the many mystical codes that Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré reveals in the universe of the French firm. Star who convinced him that it was his destiny to create his own house of haute couture, a house often guided by his belief in astrology. His debut collection, with his new look , and his revolution in fashion; Now, in its 75th anniversary , the Maison celebrates with a unique event , the culmination of the celebration . With shows starting at dawn in winter on the Pont Alexandre III, traveling through Granville and Charleston on a balmy summer day, to be in Egypt under the starlight in front of The Great Pyramid of Giza , where a glimpse of the future emerges. from the past.   It is like this one autumn afternoon in Giza , at sunset behind the great pyramid ; As the light changes, moving silhouettes emerge from the desert, reflecting the colors of the sky, the landscape and the passage of time. At nightfall the stars are revealed; an influence on ancient and modern civilizations alike; after all, the star was and is part of Dior, both for its creator and for the brand.  

For this reason, Kim Jones , the Artistic Director of Dior Men, presents his autumn/winter 2023 collection , as part of the firm's continuous evolution that does not lose sight of the future. In the collection, a gradation of grays gives way to a desert palette: from day to dusk, with hints of a fiery sunset filtering in between. This palette reveals in patterns the movement of the closest star to galaxies in galaxies far, far away observed by NASA space telescopes, light-years away attracted in engineering prints. Behind it all are the principles and rigor of the Dior archive past and the house's savoir-faire , with a practical focus on pattern cutting . The collection absorbs the lessons of the past and applies them to the present and the future : the metamorphosis from the feminine to the masculine in tailoring; join sewing finishes with technical practices in outerwear; archival embroideries acquire a notion of futuristic armory; leather goods reinterpret luxury in a new organic utility; the shoe flirts with futurism, but not without a base in traditional savoir-faire coupled with excellence in contemporary technical know-how. In short, extravagance is achieved with simple, pragmatic elegance.

Like a layering of history, ready-to-wear pieces are layered textures , outerwear, and swaths of accessories , with cocooning protection achieved by all . In this living history, always in a constant flow where movement, ease and fluidity are key; from purpose-built technical jacquard transparencies that reveal rigorous foundations in tailoring and outerwear; to the new horsehair-type wool demi-kilts, originating from the bias pleated skirt of an archival Dior dress from the 1950s called Bonne Fortune , which at the same time become a nod to the oldest of garments. man and partly of a new technical language as an overgarment. Bags and footwear come together, working with the Cannage and diamond codes in a mix of contemporary techniques and textures, from high-frequency neoprene panels and injection molding to anodized metal finishes. At the same time , nothing negates the need for comfort and practicality , the ultimate in luxury : aesthetic functionality .
