Defying Gravity

The Dior Men’s pre-fall collection 2024 encapsulates effortless elegance and refinement. Designer Kim Jones skilfully combines expert tailoring with playful dress codes, showcasing overcoats adorned with bold geometric cut-outs, wide-legged shorts lined with delicate organza layers, tie-fastened vests, Dior Oblique knitwear and more. Jones also offers his take on the three-piece suit for Dior, challenging expectations by opting for a relaxed robe and shirt ensemble instead of a conventionally close fit. This relaxed approach underscores Jones’ adeptness at marrying luxury with functionality, drawing inspiration from timeless designs while transcending conventional masculine norms.

Accessories play a crucial role in elevating the softened silhouettes with structured elements to complete this vision of modernity. Dior Gravity leather makes frequent appearances. The iconic material conceived by Jones adapts the emblematic Dior Oblique motif into two memorable iterations. In the first variation, the motif appears at its original scale on small leather goods. The second version upscales the motif to a maxi size for use on bags.
