Seemingly smudged onto the lid, the shape was organic and rounded, stretching from the inner corner of the eye to the very outer corner.
Dior fashion show runway skin#
Dior’s Creative and Image Director Peter Philips paired ethereal skin with a heavy black liner. Much like her previous work, the collection married strength and softness – frothy skirt with a structured coat, or a fluid gown with leather gloves.Īt this particular runway show, the beauty look followed suit. Speaking to GQ in August 2022, a buyer at high-end store Nordstrom described his era at Dior as “an unequivocal roaring success”.The history of Dior is one that’s rich and layered it’s also one that was shaped by influential women, so it’s fitting that the Fall-Winter 23/24 collection was inspired by three in particular: Catherine Dior, Édith Piaf and Juliette Gréco.Īn homage to the 1950s, Maria Grazia Chiuri called on iconic house hallmarks: floral motifs, feminine tailoring, and plenty of textured fabrics (think feather-light organza, dense wool, glossy silks and satin). Although Dior, part of the LVMH group, doesn’t release financial figures, Jones’s designs – always wearable whatever the inspiration – are popular with customers who can afford their price tags. Highlights include a Dior Nike Jordan 1 trainer which sold out immediately, a collection using the art of Peter Doig and a collaboration with Travis Scott’s brand Cactus Jack. In that time, his collections have showcased his two passions – artsy 20th century bohemia (as seen here) and modern streetwear and pop culture. In an era where designers are complaining of burnout, he’s an anomaly – one with the work ethic and multitasking skills of Karl Lagerfeld.Ģ023 marks five years of Jones at Dior. In all, he creates approximately 20 collections every year. The designer is also creative director of Fendi for womenswear. Jones is one of the hardest-working men in fashion – this collection follows a December show at the pyramids in Egypt, collaborating with Supreme designer Tremaine Emory and his brand Denim Tears. “We wanted to look at the regeneration of the house after the death of Mr Dior, and its rejuvenation with Yves Saint Laurent – his chosen heir – drawing a parallel in literature … it’s where an old world meets a new one, in change and flux.” In the show notes, Jones brought the two themes together. Jones referenced Saint Laurent’s first collection for the house, in the wide cuts of the coats and lengths of chiffon worn as scarves. Yves Saint Laurent joined the brand as a 21-year-old in 1958 after Dior himself died. In addition to mining the literary canon, Jones looked to the history of Dior itself. In 2021, Virgil Abloh cast poets Saul Williams and Kai-Isaiah Jamal in his Louis Vuitton show, with Williams reciting a poem as part of the event. Other brands have recently worked with poetry. Last season he used the art of Duncan Grant, and a previous collection was inspired by Jack Kerouac’s 1957 classic novel, On the Road. Jones has history of working with highbrow cultural inspirations.
Skorts – culottes with a panel of fabric at the front – were a bit more modern.
There were also items that looked a little like the clothes worn during the 1920s – Aran sweaters, cardigans, trench coats and tweed jackets. Creative director Kim Jones took the poem’s water imagery and used it as a straight line to designs like a yellow fisher’s jacket, sou’wester hats and a puffer with inflatable sections like a lifejacket.
