In a continuation of the dialogue initiated during the Dior Summer 2019 show (which was Kim Jones’ inaugural collection for the fashion house) Dior and Kaws have unveiled a captivating capsule collection that marries iconic Dior codes with the imaginative world of contemporary artist Kaws.
This exclusive collaboration, a dream realized by Kim Jones, celebrates the boundless energy of pop culture while maintaining Dior’s commitment to artistry and excellence.
At the heart of this capsule lies a reinvention of the iconic “Dior” logo. Reimagined with a mesmerizing snake motif that sinuously outlines the letters, this new emblem encapsulates the spirit of the collaboration. The hypnotic design is not merely decorative but transformative, adorning an array of pieces with dynamic flair.
The snake motif slithers across cotton faille Bermudas, quilted shirts enhanced with Cannage graphics, and knits magnified by the Dior Oblique motif, imbuing each with a magnetic charm. Accessories also shine, with bags from the Rider 2.0 line, small leather goods, and B33 sneakers showcasing the emblematic design.
Continuing this serpentine enchantment, Kaws’ touch extends to the “CD” initials, cleverly entwined with a mischievous snake. This playful reinterpretation sublimates jackets, sports ensembles, and the sporty yet elegant B57 sneakers. Each piece is a masterclass in blending craftsmanship with artistic innovation.
Adding to the collection’s allure are the B35 NXXT sneakers, which exude an audacious vibe with their bold neon yellow and red tones. This assertive footwear is perfectly balanced by refined brass jewellery – necklaces, bracelets, and brooches – that embody a harmonious fusion of strength and sophistication.
