Dior Homme S/S13
Dior Homme S/S 13
After a brilliantly pared-down show based on white t-shirts for his own eponymous label, Kris Van Assche went all-in on navy for his Spring 2013 collection for Dior Homme, as nearly every look—save a handful in a stony gray and some bright pops of crimson—came head-to-toe in a rich, deep blue that was the starting point for a show that had a vaguely nautical feel to it. There were officer’s jackets that had a naval feel, as well as a number of sailor sweaters with ropes for stripes, but Van Assche knows better than to fall in slavish thrall to a frivolous inspirational notion, instead delivering a collection that was one of his strongest demonstrations yet of the freshness he has brought to Dior Homme since taking over in 2007. There was a clean elegance and neat minimalism to his suits, cut slim but not skin-tight, with some jackets cinched around the waists like parkas for a playful twist. Van Assche also presented a number of looks in mesh, offering them up as a study of construction and tailoring, an idea that found a pleasant echo in the cream piping that appeared in a handful of the next pieces, a rigorous examination of craft and design. It was a strong and intelligently presented collection from Van Assche, a reminder that part of the wonder of fashion is that you can find transcendence even in the purest simplicity.

Continues to be lackluster. The clothes are not flattering. Men do not wear such things.
