Dans Les Backstages Du Tout Premier Défilé De Kim Jones Pour Dior
Un premier défilé sous l’ère Kim Jones.






































































C’est au cœur de la Garde Républicaine à Paris que Kim Jones, qui faisait ses aurevoirs à Louis Vuitton en mars dernier, est venu présenter son tout premier défilé pour Dior. A cette occasion Jones s’est associé à l’artiste KAWS qui a installé une sculpture de 10 mètres de haut et réalisée tout en roses. Cette sculpture était un hommage au fondateur de la maison, Monsieur Christian Dior. Bobby, le chien de Mr Dior, était également représenté dans la main gauche de la sculpture. Nous étions dans les backstages de cet événement que nous vous proposons de découvrir en images ci-dessus.
Clin d’œil à l’abeille de Dior
Pour cette collection Printemps/Été 19, Kim Jones a également fait appel à Yoon-Ahn, créatrice de la marque Ambush. La jeune femme a réinventé les bijoux Dior en se réappropriant les initiales CD. Des initiales que l’on retrouve également sur les ceintures mais aussi sur les casquettes. Sans aucun doute une nouvelle signature qui marquera le patrimoine de la marque. A noter également que Kim Jones a célébré le patrimoine de Dior en re-designant l’abeille, insecte emblème de la marque. “Une petite ruche pleine à craquer, voilà ce qu’était ma maison lorsque je présentai ma première collection”, écrivait Christian Dior dans ses mémoires. L’abeille rappelle aussi les gestes des couturières que l’on surnomme les abeilles. “Consciencieuses et affairées, elles travaillaient pour le couturier tel un essaim” rappelle Dior.
A noter que Virgil Abloh, qui a réalisé son tout premier défilé pour Louis Vuitton, est venu soutenir Kim Jones.
