Dior x Kenny Scharf's new beachwear capsule
A trip to the beach with Kim Jones in the 1990s
April 19th, 2021
Dior and iconic 90s artist Kenny Scharf first met for the brand's winter collection – but that didn't stop Kim Jones from signing a beachwear capsule just in time for the summer with graphics from the Los Angeles creative. The visual theme is, of course, that of the sea and the ocean – so the dominant colour is blue and the protagonists of the graphics are octopus, fish and jellyfish, although there is no lack of more minimalist proposals.
The two protagonists of the capsule are the short-sleeved shirts – one of which has decidedly more exuberant graphics and is combined with a pair of shorts, while a second is white, more discreet and transforms Scharf's artwork into embroidery.
