Christian Dior's New Look meets the nostalgia of 90s clubbers and becomes a very refined collection in which "tailoring is super tailoring and sportwear is super sport".
Kris Van Assche, creative director of Dior Homme, explore the lines between formal and informal, between tailoring and streetwear starting from the 1947 Bar Jacket.
In the Grand Palais salon, while the notes of Forever young by the Alphaville, run a secular tension between two generations is staged, a youth culture that fights against classicism, with super-structured tailor suits, turtlenecks, polo shirt, striped top, loose jeans, double sweatshirts with Christian Dior atelier writing and address, "Le new look 1947" sweater, short-sleeved T-shirt on long-sleeved t-shirt and tribal tattoos printed all over the world.
Van Assche's latest work explores the duality between the 1990s and today's world, between the old generation that time has transformed from rebel to classical, the same from which the Millennials draw heavily.
Dior Homme recalls the menswear rediscovering the revolutionary power of tailoring.
