"Dior's Fall 2024 menswear collection exudes the fluidity and aesthetic of Art Deco, as well as a design philosophy rooted in the past and imagining the future. It conveys a sense of uninhibitedness, especially the relaxation and pleasure in the fashion style. Simplicity and complexity, in the chic freehand of gestures into one. The essence of the new creations lies in the ingenious tailoring and tailor-made, which are the essence of Dior's fashion. Not only did we study and extract the best from a wealth of fashion classics, but we also revisited and borrowed from the House's archives to give this season's pieces a sense of elegance and ease. This season's design concept is not only to look back to the classics, but also to step into the future of craftsmanship and create the classic style of the next era. —KIM JONES
Dior's Fall 2024 menswear collection draws inspiration from Art Deco concepts, exploring the meaning and resonance of structures and symbols from the past. INSPIRED BY THE DIOR COLLECTION, THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE FUSED IN THE CLASSIC STYLE OF THE BRAND'S MASTER DESIGNERS MONISSIEUR DIOR AND YVES SAINT LAURENT.
A sleek suit can easily handle day and night occasions, showing a mix of styles. Classic styles blend and reflect the ingenuity of the flow. Jackets and tops with draped shawls capture the slender lines and fluidity of long gowns, while the new three-piece suit, pioneered by Artistic Director Kim Jones for Dior menswear, flows with a sense of relaxation and can be paired with tailored shorts.
The collection is reimagined in a contemporary fashion context, with archival silhouettes inspired by Monsieur Dior and Monsieur Saint Laurent, which have influenced the season's fluid tailoring and embellishment. Originating from the striped embroidery of the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 1952 PÉPITE Haute Couture dress, Eve Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 1958 JAZZ flower embroidery travels through time and is reproduced on a casual and loose cardigan shirt. THE LACE-UP DESIGN THROUGHOUT THE FALL COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY THE ICONIC MOTIFS OF THE EVE SAINT LAURENT SPRING/SUMMER 1958 TRAPÈZE COLLECTION.
A flexible and versatile approach that combines traditional and contemporary perspectives to further explore and celebrate the savoir-faire of Dior menswear. After six years at the helm of Dior menswear, functionality and practicality have long been embedded in the design philosophy of Dior's collections. This season's new arrivals are tailored to their core, but also highlight the emphasis on functionality and practicality through multi-functional military-inspired coats and accessories.
The new footwear is inspired by a number of classic silhouettes: satin dancing shoes with loafer construction, reimagined in the form of casual shoes and sneakers. The dual injection rubber and leather sole features a deformed Cannage pattern for improved grip. The body is light and the texture is flexible, which brings out the suave feeling of gentleman's menswear.
Autumn bags are particularly functional and complement the silhouette of the garment, some of which are made in the same fabric as the coat. Soft leather goods are inadvertently cozy, and the new handbag pieces reflect the contemporary man's style and the craftsmanship that the brand is proud of. Dior's Menswear Fall 2024 collection combines high functionality and refined texture, transcending the pursuit of excellence in materials and workmanship, and further embodying the freehand aesthetic of practicality and craftsmanship.
