For the Dior Men Summer 2020 collection, artistic director of Dior Men’s collections, Kim Jones explored the notion of relics – objects that can be transmuted into stories for evolution, investigation, and creation of history. The runway space was transformed into an archaeological site, where the maison’s emblems and items drawn from Monsieur Christian Dior’s studio – his clock and telephone – were cast in white by American artist Daniel Arsham, while models trod through pink sand. The narrative is especially pertinent for the French haute couture maison, which in itself is a monument. It is a living, breathing connection that houses various contemporary designers to propel Dior’s storied past into the present. To be seen as a poetic journey through the sands of time, travel also becomes a theme for Dior Men Summer 2020, and for the house, the best luggage to travel with is RIMOWA.
Found in the collection, the unique capsule range by DIOR and RIMOWA sees luggage, hand cases, clutches worn as sling bags, cabin suitcases, and champagne cases withstanding the passage of time – in terms of style and practicality.
In the words of RIMOWA CEO, Alexandre Arnault, “A uniquely memorable collection, the DIOR and RIMOWA capsule collection celebrates the best of the two brands, serving to further highlight the shared, cherished values of excellence, innovation, and savoir-faire.”
