Guided By The Stars
August Man SG|Issue 191
The star was and is part of Dior lore, guiding Monsieur Dior to finding his own haute couture house more than seven decades ago. Since then, the emblem has been integral to the brand's design code, acting as a muse to many of its collections, including the Fall 2023 Dior Men's series

Guided By The Stars

DECADES AGO, Monsieur Dior tripped on a “lucky star” – a literal object found on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Instead of seeing red, the designer, who was a believer of astrology, saw it as kismet: a sign that convinced him his destiny was to start his own haute couture house. While commonplace, a symbol appreciated by many and has acted as a muse for countless brands, the star made a mark in fashion history then – as the impetus that birthed the legendary fashion house. Ensued by the serendipitous encounter, Dior affixed the star in its design code – showcasing the symbol through the details of seasonal collections.

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, the luxury House paid tribute to the literal superstar in the Dior lore in its Fall 2023 Menswear collection.

"MY INTEREST IN ANCIENT EGYPT IS ABOUT THE STARS AND THE SKY. IT'S THAT FASCINATION WITH THE ANCIENT WORLD AND THE PARALLELS WITH WHAT WE LOOK AT TODAY; WHAT WE INHERITED FROM THEM AND WHAT WE ARE STILL LEARNING FROM THE PAST," PROFESSES KIM JONES. "IT LINKS TO CHRISTIAN DIOR IN THAT SENSE AND BY WAY OF HIS FASCINATION WITH SYMBOLS AND SUPERSTITIONS THAT RECUR THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AND WORK, ONE OF WHICH IS THE STAR."
