Dior The Campaign For The Winter 2024-2025 Men's Collection

Like an ode to the art of ballet – and to the beauty of the body in motion that so fascinated christian Dior – the looks are suffused with timeless elegance, inhabited by the flamboyant spirit of Rudolf Nureyev; an opportunity for the artistic director of men's lines to pay a wonderful tribute to his uncle, documentary photographer Colin Jones, a loyal friend of the virtuoso choreographer whom he also photographed extensively. an enchanting performance of color and refinement, highlighted by captivating shots taken by Alasdair McLellan.

At the heart of a pared-down decor reminiscent of a dance studio, the creations reinterpret the house's heritage: tailoring is reinvented with new volumes, pleats and cuts, while the iconic bar jacket is fashioned into a masculine iteration and united with the oblique suit dreamed up by kim jones. materials and shapes intertwine and merge; oscillating between discipline and extravagance, high socks are worn with various leg-revealing wool zipped shorts and second-skin ribbed knits.

Facing the mirror, at the barre, models sport bold ballerina-inspired shoes. leather goods, with their fluid curves, symbiotically balance practicality and modernity, as exemplified by the saddle twin or the camera bags amplified by the architectural graphics of the maxicannage. as a finishing touch, turban-like hats revisit those designed by stephen jones in 1999 for the women's wardrobe.

A sublime, mesmerizing choreography celebrating the magic of couture.
