Dior Homme summer 2017 funfair

25

Kris Van Assche’s Dior Homme Summer 2017 collection reflects an explicit journey, transposing the energy of a youth from new wave nightclubs -like the hacienda in manchester- to the heart of an imaginary funfair industrial landscape.
Order and disorder are told in parallel, while flashbacks to new wave and sporty dynamics mingle with the crescendo of refined tailoring. This season, there’s a real sense of collective consciousness in this collection, like a rereading of memories from adolescence,” confides Kris Van Assche. “I was interested in synthesizing generations and observing countercultures through a personal prism, to tell this new story.”

Gradually, the silhouettes sketch out a new perception of formal dressing. Ancestral workshop skills take on industrial details and embellishments: eyelets, laces, staples and printed wools shake up our conception of the two-piece suit. As if subverting classical rigor, sleeveless jackets and openwork knitwear reveal a summer skin behind harnesses that both veil and reveal it.
There’s a whole reflection on the memory of clothing through the work of artisanal materials, which sometimes take on the appearance of a found, worn or damaged piece. tennis stripes fray, knits bear scars, houndstooth becomes blurred, and toru kamei’s floral paintings appear like identity badges. through these hybrid pieces, references to workwear and sportswear insistently mark the paradox of a tempered rebellion.

Numerous celebrities attended the show.

Here are a few photos of the future collection as seen at the Showroom presentation.
