Entering 2021, the first Dior Men’s fashion show led by Kim Jones will be held soon. The brand recently confirmed that the Winter 2021-2022 menswear collection will be staged at 9:00 pm Hong Kong time on January 22 (this Friday), and ZTYLEZ will bring you the official live broadcast. Details below:
Dior Men recently announced that for Winter 2021-2022, they will continue to collaborate with artists, and this season they are fortunate to have invited the painting artist Peter Doig from Scotland. In recent seasons, it seems to have become a rule for Kim Jones to invite different artists, and looking at the figures from past seasons, each one can be said to be more impressive than the last, with each collaborating artist having their own unique style. As we enter 2021, who is this contemporary artist Peter Doig, known for his painting skills? Here is some background information about Peter Doig for everyone to get to know before the exhibition.
Hailing from the most vibrant era of the British art scene in the last century, Peter Doig has been dedicated, even obsessed, with traditional painting for many years. While his artworks mostly feature landscapes, his technique excels in arranging compositions similar to film shots, employing a narrative method that carries symbolic meanings. This approach has led the art world to describe his works as a kind of “magical” painting, influencing a new generation of artists across the East and West over the past two decades. What is most admirable, however, is that despite being nominated for and winning numerous major art awards, Peter Doig’s demeanor remains remarkably low-key, avoiding publicity and the limelight. Nevertheless, over the past decade, Peter Doig has repeatedly broken auction records for contemporary artists, including the sale of his masterpiece “White Canoe” at Sotheby’s in 2007 for approximately $11.3 million. In the realm of British landscape painters, Peter Doig’s status is only surpassed by the British art giant David Hockney.
As for this time, what sparks will Peter Doig and Kim Jones create, and what level of shocking release will Kim Jones bring to the first Dior Men of the new year? Stay tuned this Friday!
