DIOR MENS fall 2020 show at Miami Art Basel

DIOR mens meets Art at Basel this season.  For the fall 2020 collection of Dior Homme, creative director Kim Jones combines psychedelic elements with a tribute to haute couture.   Embroidery, beading, tailoring savoir-faire including details of hand-stitched buttons reminding us of the original ‘bar suit’ were on the the runway in Miami.

Friends and fans of the brand including Kim Kardashian (decked in all Dior Men’s btw) came to cheer.    Frow included Lukas Sabbat, Travis Scott, Winnie Harlow,Xavier Dolan, Ricky Martin, Lily Allen, Kate Moss, David Beckham wearing Dior Men by Kim Jones.  Our new fave,  Singer / Performer Orville Peck stole the show with the fringed custom Dior look from top to toe.

“THE HOUSE HAS ALWAYS CULTIVATED A PASSIONATE RELATIONSHIP WITH ART, AND THIS FASCINATION IS AT THE HEART OF DIOR’S INVENTIVENESS NOW MORE THAN EVER. IN THIS SPIRIT, KIM JONES’S SHOW IS BEING HELD ON THE EVE OF THE INAUGURATION OF THE ART BASEL MIAMI FAIR. THE SHOW SPACE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE RUBELL MUSEUM, IS ALSO OWNED BY THE RUBELLS, AND WAS CHOSEN AS AN ODE TO MONSIEUR DIOR’S FIRST VOCATION AS A GALLERIST BEFORE HE BECAME A COUTURIER. THE LINK CONTINUES IN THE COLLECTION ITSELF, THROUGH KIM JONES’S INVITATION TO THE ARTIST AND DESIGNER SHAWN STUSSY*. POSITIONED AT THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTERCULTURE AND THE CREATIVE WORLD OF SURFING, THIS MAJOR, MULTIFACETED TALENT HAS REINVENTED THE DIOR LOGO IN A GRAFFITI STYLE AND CREATED NEW PRINTS. HIS VISION IS ALSO INTERPRETED IN JEWELLERY BY YOON AHN. CONCEIVED AS AN IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION, THE SHOW’S SCENOGRAPHY PLUNGES THE AUDIENCE INTO THE ARTIST’S UNIVERSE: THE RUNWAY IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ABSTRACT BARREL WAVE LIT BY A SUNSET AND TAGGED WITH MYRIAD ITERATIONS OF THE LETTERS IN “DIOR”. A CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM: OF MOVEMENT, CREATION AND SPIRIT. A JOIE DE VIVRE DIOR HOLDS DEAR.”
