Dior's Winter 2021 Campaign Spotlights Peter Doig-Inspired Classics
From Cannetille gold and silver thread-embroidered Saddle Bags to hand-painted berets and more.
Kim Jones enlisted the artist Peter Doig for a Dior collaboration throughout Fall/Winter 2021, and following this news Dior then showcased its Winter 2021 collection on the runway, debuting Doig-inspired pieces that were doused in lush colors and soft brushstrokes that frequent the artist’s work. Now, the luxury fashion house has enlisted Rafael Pavarotti to photograph the Winter 2021 campaign, backdropped against more of Doig’s work.
Speaking on the campaign, Jones said: “Photographer Rafael Pavarotti used Peter Doig’s paintings to set the tone and image color and inject a contemporary atmosphere, a masterpiece that blends modernity and melancholic poetry.”
With this in mind, we see the latest Dior pieces (notably, ones made in association with Doig) against his actual artwork. Combined, it allows certain pieces to pop: see the hand-painted berets and dome hats? Here, we find animals and natural prints decorating the headpieces in Doig’s bright yet delicate way, adding a very welcomed soft edge to the crisp tailoring seen throughout the campaign.
Once again, Kim Jones celebrates Dior’s past with various iterations of the Saddle Bag (a Cannetille gold and silver thread-embroidered piece is particularly nice), and more extravagant jewelry designed by AMBUSH’s Yoon Ahn is also served up, delivering lots of pieces that are very Renaissance in style.
The Dior Winter 2021 campaign can be seen in the gallery above, and for those interested in buying it, head over to Dior’s website or worldwide boutiques to shop the collection now.
