Dior and KAWS are back at it, stirring the fashion world with a fresh menswear capsule that’s anything but ordinary. Six years ago, Kim Jones marked his debut at Dior with a monumental 33-foot floral sculpture by the New York-based pop artist, setting a precedent for art-infused runway shows. Fast forward to now, and the duo is reuniting to inject a kaleidoscopic energy into Dior’s menswear line.
This latest collaboration snakes its way through pastel pink varsity jackets, where vibrant serpentine interpretations of the Dior logo slither across the back. Quilted coats, bold red cardigans, and the iconic Oblique Monogram on button-up shirts and track pants get the KAWS treatment, blending classic motifs with a contemporary twist. The snake imagery doesn’t stop there—it morphs into the signature “CD” emblem on ready-to-wear pieces and accessories, adding an edgy flair to timeless designs.
Since taking the reins in 2018, Kim Jones has consistently pushed the boundaries of menswear at Dior, seamlessly blending luxury with street art influences. His renewed partnership with KAWS not only nods to their past successes but also propels the brand into exciting new territories.
The Dior x KAWS collection is set to make waves when it lands in stores on January 2, promising to be a standout start to the new fashion season.
