Paris Fashion Week officially kicks off, with the Dior Men team led by Kim Jones set to take the stage on the fourth day of the schedule, which is tonight. The brand recently confirmed that the Dior Men 2023 summer fashion show will be held at 2:30 PM Paris time today (9:00 PM Hong Kong time), and ZTYLEZ MAN will bring you the live broadcast:
Although the brand did not directly mention the theme of this season, it can be seen from the invitation that the background presents a hand-painted drawing of trees, and the style is somewhat reminiscent of impressionist brushstrokes. It is believed that the design of the 2023 summer collection may be related to elements such as nature, art, and even serve as a source of inspiration.
Until Dior Men released their latest teaser, we finally learned that creative director Kim Jones once again demonstrated his creative imagination. He invited Matty Healy, the former drummer and lead singer of the British alternative pop band The 1975, and took him on a pre-show tour of Charleston Trust, the famous farmhouse that was once the residence of the Bloomsbury Group, a 20th-century British art and literary group, and later became the home of Vanessa Woolf, the sister of the British literary giant Virginia Woolf. Later, he and the brand team even visited the childhood home of founder Christian Dior, allowing this talented singer to be the first to experience the creative atmosphere of this series.
Apart from what everyone has seen, Matty Healy has put on different clothes for the summer of 2023 – you should notice one of the shirts, with the early Christian Dior brand logo appearing on the pocket. In fact, the preview concept is a rather interesting scene. Matty Healy, who once sank into the sea of drugs and couldn’t extricate himself, went to the literary exchange site of the 20th century, Charleston Trust, and Mr. Dior’s former residence. The impact on this background level is unexpected, but when the seemingly unrelated two come together, it is like the collision of different cultural fields or creative backgrounds, and Kim Jones as the facilitator decides to present this interesting cultural impact through fashion. Even Kim Jones himself grew up in an educated family from a young age, deeply influenced by his father, but at the same time, growing up in the British pop era, he should also have a lot of curiosity when encountering Matty Healy. What kind of cultural impact, even with cultural poetic scenes, will be presented in the Dior Men’s summer 2023 collection? Everyone stay tuned.
