Dior Homme Autumn 2015 Collection

The Fall 2015 Dior Homme collection is positioning itself as a set of references under the leadership of Kris Van Assche, the House’s creative director. It’s a locker room recovered from memories of the uniforms of college boys and grasps the essential aspects of masculinity.

Far from being literal, the suggestions play with the sportswear and yuppie codes and bring them up to date: The palette offers shades of middle-school green and ochre; the suit jacket with two or four buttons is combined with leather sleeves or knitted cuffs; the jacket made of hi-tech fabric rubs shoulders with the absolutely perfect suede. Tartan, checks and plaid are everywhere, from shirts to sweaters and suits to coats. Luxury slips into the leather embossing and details.

The nod is perceptible under the references to sportswear made by the new Dior tag, while the year 1947, a year that was dear to Mr. Dior, serves as a pattern for prints or a leather patch. It's a contemporary look that converses with savoir-faire, one for all Dior Homme men.
