Fall 2023 Men’s Show
INFINITELY DIOR
An autumn evening in Giza, at the setting of the sun behind the Great Pyramid… As the light changes, silhouettes emerge from the desert, in motion, reflecting the colors of the sky, the landscape and the passage of time. As night falls stars reveal themselves.
CELESTIAL VIRTUOSITY
A spellbinding surprise, Max Richter’s musical performance closed the Dior Men Fall 2023 show : The Four Seasons reinterpreted by the composer and magically pulsated by a hypnotic luminous ballet. A suspended and meditative moment in time, wakening the conscience and the senses.
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
As the looks parade, a gradation of grays gives way to the palette of the desert, with hints of a fiery sunset filtering in between. Behind all are the principles and rigour of the Dior archive past and the men’s Atelier present, with a practised focus on pattern cutting. The collection absorbs the lessons of the past and applies them to the present and future : metamorphosing the feminine to the masculine in tailoring ; uniting couture finishings with technical practicalities in outerwear; archival embroideries are transformed into futuristic armory. In this living history, with a grounding in traditional savoir-faire united with excellence in contemporary, technical know-how, ease and fluidity are key ; from the technical jacquard to the new, crin-like wool demi-kilts – originating from the bias pleated skirt of a Dior dress from the fifties called Bonne Fortune. While nothing is left to chance, nothing negates the need for comfort and practicality: the ultimate luxuries.
VITAL POETRY
A futuristic odyssey, the Dior Men Fall 2023 line is an invitation to break away and explore. The looks are punctuated by accessories fusing creative audacity and practicality, refinement and singularity. Leather goods reinterpret luxury into a new, organic utility; irresistibly modern footwear finishes Kim Jones’ silhouettes. Visionary essentials.
INFINITE PRECISION
Like and ode to comfort and elegance, the looks of the collection deploy virtuoso savoir-faire techniques, of infinite precision, between modernity and heritage.
