Kim Jones and guest designer ERL presented the Dior Men Spring 2023 capsule collection in Venice Beach yesterday evening. Working with Eli Russell Linnetz, a Venice native himself, Kim Jones presents a collection influenced by Venice Beach while drawing parallels to Paris. A pop sensibility and American ,male archetypes infuse classic house motifs writ larger than life. Cannage made into satin and leather quilting into skate sneakers or unravelling on crystal encrusted trousers. Slouchy and an easy going sensibility belies the precision of tailoring and mastery of fabric in the atelier, in particular with the ocean-recovered polyester tailored looks, padded, as a nod to the Ferré-Dior archive. Seemingly inside-out tailoring, in Christian Dior’s beloved gray is also a mischievous take on the school blazers of a certain Fresh Prince.
