Dior recently launched its men’s ready-to-wear summer 2020 collection in Paris.For summer 2020, Kim Jones, the artistic director of Dior men’s collections, plays with the notion of the relics, teaming up with multidisciplinary American artist Daniel Arsham, whose work probes the archaeology of the present. “Sculpture and architecture were integral to Christian Dior’s work: his haute couture was molded and structured — dramatic silhouettes and crafted clothes were soft sculptures in themselves. For this summer 2020 collection, the shapes are supple, fluid, gently structured and featherweight, but combined with working methodologies and characteristics that evoke sculptural origins. Leather garments have details that are bonded, then sliced like a frieze; pieces are printed from the inside to capture features of cut during the printing process and throughout; and the tone-on-tone Dior oblique monogram and shading express an idea of sculptural elements, like bas-relief. A color palette of sun-bleached neutrals and intense color hues a monumental landscape,” says Dior.Elements of Dior — both hallmarks of the house and incidental pieces that express its physical actuality — here become emblematic relics. Items drawn from monsieur Dior’s studio — his clock, his telephone — have been cast by Daniel Arsham, reminiscent of the artist’s future relics series, according to Dior.“In its first-ever collaboration with the luxury luggage brand Rimowa, Dior presents a unique capsule collection, including a backpack, a champagne case, a hand case, a clutch and a cabin suitcase, characterized by the German house’s iconic aluminum grooves. Forged with craftsmanship and expertise, this special-edition Dior and Rimowa collection features the Dior oblique motif and uses an innovative combination of anodizing processes, whereby vibrant pigments are inscribed directly into the product’s aluminum skin, lending the design a high complexity of reflective, lasting colors that celebrate the spirit of the material as the building block of the collection,” says Dior.As ever, the collection is created on the history of Dior, keeping up with its excellence of cut, tailoring and craft. However, it also redefines modern history, a new heritage. The Dior newspaper print, introduced as part of the spring-summer 2000 haute-couture collection, is redrafted, once again in collaboration with Daniel Arsham. The collection also switches over to now, underscoring styles Kim Jones has introduced to the house of Dior: a selection of neo-classics.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the collection. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
