Dior menswear designer Kris van Assche said he delved into Christian Dior’s world for a collection in which the “bourgeois meets the artist", elaborating with “I wanted a sense of renewal and an idea of Christian Dior’s artistic milieu to come through as well as his love of formality and tradition." On show were formal, navy suits with an emphasis on the tuxedo and traditional pinstripe.
In a striking similarity with Gucci's theme for the same season, nautical touches, a reference to the Normandy-born Dior’s love of the sea, came in the form of toggle fasteners and striped knit vests over shirts to create what Van Assche called “a new form of three piece suit”.
