Summary
At Paris Fashion Week, Kim Jones debuts a collection for Dior Men that shifts towards a more traditionally masculine aesthetic, inspired by Dior’s mid-century designs. The show featured A-list celebrities and marked Jones' receipt of the Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur. Balancing precision with opulence, the collection highlights angular tailoring and traditional elements while pushing gender norms. However, speculation surrounds whether this artistic direction is a product of creative choice or external influence, marking a potential turning point for Dior’s menswear future.
