I know, right?! I usually don't get this type of response with a creative director's first collection for a brand. Usually it requires some warming up to. Not in this case.
I think for me, after being alienated for years with Dior Homme, seeing a completely fresh new look, and one that also complements and pays homage to the womenswear aesthetics of Dior, rather than what I felt was a limiting blinkered look at just the tailoring lines and luxe sportswear, it’s as if the light has finally shone down on Dior Homme, as an actual label for me to covet.
Those wickered cannage bags, the saddle accessories, the chain necklaces, be still my covetous heart!
Exactly! The two brands seemed so separate and unrelated.
By the way, the press notes for the show were titled "DIOR", not "DIOR HOMME". I think they are further unifying the brands.
Now if only they can come up with a Monsieur Dior bag to compliment the Lady Dior...like something similar in style but more masculine. It would be heaven!
Yaas! It really did feel like two completely separate labels. If there wasn’t the Dior label attached to it, you’d be hard pressed to identify what house the collections were aligned to.
Especially after the clusterf#%^ that was Virgil’s debut for Vuitton, I’m so happy to see a truly lustworthy collection.
So many covetable pieces.... the accessories are out of this world, I’m so glad that Yoon is part of the house as well! It’s definitely the fresh take that we needed on the men’s side.
I feel like the aesthetic is definitely more connected to MGC’s vision of Dior, more relaxed and versatile (dressed up or down), but the details continue to scream luxury and savior-faire... I foresee women coming to the men’s side to shop some of these items!

I love this collection as well. Kim really lightened Dior - the collection felt weightless while still making an impact. And that he really respected the codes of Dior - the floral motif, bee, and cannage.
I will definitely be shopping for the jewelry - the necklace, bracelets, rings, I love them all.
It will also be interesting if Dior will limit Dior Homme’s wholesale presence and if this collection will still be available to purchase through retailers online.

I want that bee keycharm! So cute! I honestly want everything in this collection and that's not an exaggeration. Those backpacks! The feather embroidery encased in plastic jackets is so cool and I'd just have it as an art piece. The cannage print embroidered t-shirts!
Kaws is the artist Brian Donnelly. He makes sculptures and other items in cartoonish styles.
WOW. I haven't been interested in anything in Dior forever: my last purchase was a pair of awesome shoes about... 15 years ago! But this show was spectacular and the bags were AWESOME. I am really impressed and this is a clear testament to Kim Jones' talent. So much better than the Virgil show at Louis Vuitton (which was a huge bust in my opinion).
Wow so many covetable pieces indeed. Those key rings and charms are so fun!
I wonder as well. It may be a slow phasing out, although I thought the same would happen to Gucci under Alessandro MIchele but the opposite seems to have happened. Retailers increased their Gucci selection drastically, and more retailers started carrying them. I think it would have been a good time for Gucci to restrict wholesale, given that the increased sales at boutiques could negate the decrease in wholesale orders, but I don't really understand Kering management of luxury brands.
