Kim Jones’ Dior Men Winter 2019-2020 Collection At Paris Fashion Week Brings Out A-List Celebs

Dior Men Artistic Director Kim Jones has done it again, this time with his Winter 2019-2020 collection, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. Drawing inspiration from the House of Dior’s couture heritage, Jones reimagined and reinvented some of the Maison’s most recognizable shapes, techniques, materials and ethos, blending them together with his exploration of Christian Dior himself, particularly his history as an Avant-Garde galleries.

Some of those recognizable Dior symbols, materials and finishes featured in the collection include Monsieur Dior’s beloved panthère, tiger and leopard prints in knitwear and intarsia furs, silks, structured tailoring, drapery, cashmeres, lace, and even nylon, all coupled with cutting-edge technology, giving some fabrics a high-gloss sheen. The color palette is signature Dior, with shades of blue, bisque, gray and of course, black.

Continuing the House and Jones’ adoration for the world of art, Kim Jones partnered with world-renowned Raymond Pettibon for the collection, using some of his existing drawings and some brand new works that were specially created in various prints, knits, jacquards and hand-embroideries. The jewelry—made by Yoon Ahn—also plays homage to Christian Dior’s fascination with the world of superstition, featuring various, eye-catching charms. Accessories continue to play a big part in the Dior Men world, where the iconic Dior Saddle Bag is again translated for a more masculine finish. This time, Jones used nylon and lush, leopard-patterned mink for the new cross-body style. The show also presented backpacks, cases and even utility gloves.

As usual, the show brought out a slew of the world’s most elite A-Listers, including Christina Ricci, Colton Haynes, Daniel Arsham, J Balvin, Kate Moss, Kid Cudi, Lily Allen, Miguel, Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova, Pusha T and Robert Pattinson.
