Rather than diving into ancient historicism, the designer’s Pre-Fall 2023 Dior menswear collection was a bold thrust towards the future 🔮
Which, maybe, triggered Jones’s reaction to this show location – rather than diving into ancient historicism, it was a bold thrust towards the future. It was informed, in part, by a re-reading of Frank Herbert’s, as well as an eye on the modernity to be found in archival Dior designs.
The Dior archival elements were subtle, gentle even – the plissé skirt of a Dior ballgown from the 1950s, named Bonne Fortune, became a gesture of pleated kilt strapped over trousers, itself a nod to the shendyt – the skirt-like garment you see on statues of Egyptian pharaohs and deities. The embroideries of the famous Junon gown, composed of shell-like petals of silk, were transposed to a tunic under a veil of tulle.
echoed that obsession with a sequence of prints based on deep space NASA images of distant stars – while, for him, bringing Dior to Egypt closed a trilogy of shows begun in January, on a recreation of the Pont Alexandre III bridge – their most Parisian of locales. Ironically, bringing Dior across the world geographically was to philosophically bring it home, to Christian Dior’s personal obsessions. There were 75 models, marking 75 years of Dior.
