Paris Men's Fashion Week: Dior Homme by Kim Jones
Here is everything you shouldn't miss from the autumn-winter 2024 collection at Dior Homme by Kim Jones.
Kim Jones , creative director of Dior Men , has in recent seasons accustomed us to experimenting with great obviousness. His collections are fluid, light, intelligent. They assimilate immediately. But this one! How could you not have thought of it sooner! Classical ballet. His dancers. His postures. His gestures. His silhouettes. Its details. Even the infinitesimal satin hairband framing these today's faces, as androgynous as can be. Was there a better example than this to illustrate what the English designer knows how to do best: evolving in constant balance on the very tenuous thread of masculinity, with all that it can, must, include of femininity, of elegance and refinement. And yet so manly.
For the record, this collection was inspired by his late British uncle, Colin Jones, who first danced at the Royal Ballet and became a photographer in the 1960s. A double role which led him in 1966 to document for Time magazine -Live a day in the life of Rudolf Nureyev, immense classical dancer of his generation, from which a deep friendship emerged between the two protagonists. This parade was dedicated to him.
