Dior’s Modern Tailoring Capsule Leans Into Its Elevated House Codes
Fusing the classic and contemporary.
Although the Dior man has evolved to include multiple personalities – moving between casual, streetwear, vacation-ready and formal environments – the Dior man at its core has a refined personality. Even though menswear creative director Kim Jones has aided in evolving the Dior man, he also understands this core personality trait. So in keeping that core alive, Dior has revealed its new Modern Tailoring capsule.
Leaning into its elevated house codes, the new capsule represents a fusion of classic and contemporary style notes. Leaning into the classic, the offering tosses up a range of single-breasted and double-breasted suits alongside tuxedos – complimented by hues of gray, charcoal, navy, heather gray and light gray/blue. But where the contemporary subtleties are seen is in details like asymmetrical single-button closures and various attached details.
Leaning into the more casual elements, the capsule also presents casual three-button jackets, cleanly straight-cut zipped jackets and pleated joggers. Subtle finishing details on the range of pieces see CD Icon Pins on select lapels. But the ease of the capsule allows for seamless switching between day and night.
Take a look at the new offering in the gallery above. Dior’s menswear Modern Tailoring capsule is set to release in-store and online on Thursday, June 6.
