MEN’S BEACHWEAR CAPSULE COLLECTION 2019
AS A TRIBUTE TO CHRISTIAN DIOR, A GALLERIST AND COLLECTOR WITH A LOVE OF THE ARTS AND THE AVANT-GARDE, KIM JONES, DIOR’S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR FOR MEN’S COLLECTIONS, DREW INSPIRATION FROM HIS COLLABORATION WITH CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ARTIST HAJIME SORAYAMA – ON THE OCCASION OF THE PRE-FALL 2019 FASHION SHOW – TO IMAGINE TWO PRINTS, BROUGHT TOGETHER IN AN EXCLUSIVE CAPSULE COLLECTION.
HAJIME SORAYAMA’S ICONIC ANIMAL AND GYNOID FIGURES ARE SET AGAINST LUSH WAVE AND FOLIAGE MOTIFS IN SEASCAPE AND HAWAIIAN ROBOTS. IN THIS WAY, THE ARTIST’S METALLIC FUTURISM CONTRASTS WITH WILD NATURE, OCEAN WAVES AND TROPICAL VEGETATION.
THIS CAPSULE COLLECTION IS A DOUBLE TRIBUTE TO BOTH HAJIME SORAYAMA’S AESTHETIC AND KIM JONES’ PASSION FOR TRAVEL AND NATURE. THE DIOR LOGO, REINTERPRETED BY THE ARTIST, BLENDS WITH SEASCAPES POPULATED BY DOLPHINS AND ROBOTIC MERMAIDS.
ALONGSIDE HAWAIIAN SHIRTS, SWIM SHORTS AND LIGHTWEIGHT FLOWING JACKETS IN NYLON AND RAYON, THERE’S A SELECTION OF LEATHER GOODS AND ACCESSORIES: THREE BAGS – A TOTE, A BELT BAG AND THE ICONIC ROLLER – TWO CLUTCHES, A NEW VERSION OF THE B23 SNEAKERS, AS WELL AS SILK SCARVES AND BEACH TOWELS.
MODERN, COLORFUL AND FULL OF LUMINOUS ENERGY, THE 2019 MEN’S BEACHWEAR CAPSULE COLLECTION REINTERPRETS THE DIOR SPIRIT WITH FRESHNESS.
