Dior brought art to Paris Fashion Week on Friday as designer Kim Jones used a monumental plaster sculpture on the runway to inspire his architectural show.

Guests, including Kate Moss, Christina Ricci and Kelly Osbourne, marvelled at the giant artwork by American artist Daniel Arsham, which spelt out “DIOR” in broken up plaster with jewels surreally glimmering beneath.

Dior goes back to the past

“It’s quite incredible,” Osbourne said. “The artist puts real crystals inside his work.”
The metaphor of the jewel hidden inside the sculptures provided Dior Man with its theme: beauty unearthed from the past.
It was the starting point of a collection that went back to the past of Christian Dior, who revolutionised the global fashion industry after World War II with his sculpted, couture styles. These were evoked throughout the 49 looks.

Softly sculpted suits – single and double-breasted, and in pale shades – featured long contrasting silken strips that cleverly evoked the shading of the real sculptures on the runway.

Stiff, sanitised coats that were A-line and in white, meanwhile, referenced the house’s popular saddle bag by using the item’s curves here as storm flaps.

Elsewhere, the newspaper print first used by former designer John Galliano two decades ago featured on socks, saddle bags and sheer shirts.
The overly referential designs are a frequent downside for Dior – but Jones ensured he did not lose his own identity.


Indeed, the collection’s strongest looks, such as a simple T-shirt with a whoosh of blue watercolour on one shoulder, looked just like Jones exploring his own artistic self.
Jones also collaborated with LMVH’s luxury suitcase brand, Rimowa – a newly acquired German brand under Alexander Arnault, son of the conglomerate’s CEO, Bernard Arnault – for a capsule collection.
It comprises a champagne case, a hand case, a clutch and a cabin suitcase. The British designer also appeared in the travel label’s newest “Never Still” campaign.

Berluti’s colour vision
The scent of flowers that seemed to float into Berluti’s venue – the resplendent Luxembourg Gardens – was so intoxicating it had fashion insiders guessing that the perfume was, in reality, artificial.

The show itself, by designer Kris Van Assche, which seemed inspired by the bright colours of a tropical forest, had a similar problem.
There is courage in putting men in bright hues – a point which should be duly credited to the Belgian who has been at the helm of the Berluti house one year.

He has succeeded in bringing a new look to the storied 19th-century brand, a former Italian shoemaker, since arriving from Dior.

But the yellow citrines, vivid blues, electric oranges and electric reds that were chosen for the spring-summer looks were so eye-poppingly industrial they seemed to distract from all else.

The dazzling hues came on suits and long, loosely flowing sleeveless jackets.
And instead of being broken up with more neutral colours, for instance, or used sparingly, they were sometimes splashed across “total look” ensembles. It looked rather heavy-handed.

Still, the show had some great one-off moments, including one from American model Gigi Hadid, who closed the show in a verdigris long-trousered-look speckled with matching diaphanous embroidered feathers.
