Shout out to the Dior oblique shirt!
At first I found it to be too expensive and too loud but actually wearing it.... it's sublime. I love it and if you are on the fence like I was then give it a try.

Combined it with my oblique dog tag. I have to say I am not a fan of the bags but the RTW is growing on me.

Yes this Oblique shirt is awesome! It feels wonderful and the logos aren't as big so it's not as loud. Congratulations!

It was fun today, especially shopping with fellow Dior Addict @hightea_xx :biggrin:, with his Dior Addict bag, too. So nice to step back into Dior, although was a bit sad to learn that my amazing SA was going to be leaving the country to pursue a different job by the end of the month. He was the best SA I've had from all the brands I've shopped at.

I got one of the jackets from Summer 2021. I normally don't like nylon jackets with a jacquard tone-on-tone logo design. I passed on all the Dior Oblique puffers because of that. A Gucci SA tried to sell me a classic black jacquard nylon GG jacket in my size at 50% off last summer, and I couldn't pull the trigger even though it was a great price and classic piece. This one is designed differently. The Oblique logos are in silk and in a different colour compared to the nylon so the jacket looks grey and beige, which looks silver and gold thanks to the sheen of the nylon and silk.

Apologies and please remove if off topic, but I noticed that the garment bag is white instead of black. Are there different RTW garment bags depending on men's vs women's? Or did Dior recently redo the color schemes this year?

No. Dior recently changed their garment bags to this white cotton-like fabric (not sure of its composition), and it seems that this is for both men's and women's lines, at least to my knowledge.

This fabric allows leathers to breathe. Much nicer than the older plastic ones. Only thing is that they now longer have a clear window to see what is inside the garment bag.

The new advertising campaign looks very colourful, and optimistic! Nice respite from all these waves of lockdowns and a seemingly endless pandemic.

From WWD:
FAR OUT: From the smiling models and colorful clothes to the trippy backdrops, Dior’s men’s wear campaign for pre-fall radiates fun.

And that’s exactly what Kim Jones, artistic director of Dior men’s collections, was going for to convey the spirit of his collaboration with American artist Kenny Scharf. Jones conscripted photographer Rafael Pavarotti, stylist Melanie Ward and models Issa Naciri, Ibrahim Mohamed, Thatcher Thornton and Woosang Kim for the images, slated to break in British GQ and Vogue Man Arabia on Thursday.

According to Jones, “bringing Kenny Scharf’s out-of-this-world universe to life via Rafael’s photography this season was a moment of optimism in challenging times. These images represent the hope of returning to reality in a not-so-distant future.”


The cartoon-like paintings of Scharf, a mainstay of the New York art scene in the 1980s, appear on clothes and accessories, sometimes rendered in painstaking seed-stitch embroideries. Dior described Scharf’s pop aesthetic and impish, imaginary characters as being “at the crossroads of cartoons, Surrealism and science fiction.”

The campaign also showcases bags from the Dior Lock line, and Jones’ latest footwear proposition: Dior Explorer II boots.

Ronnie Cooke Newhouse acted as art director, while Peter Philips did makeup and Guido Palau the hair, which channeled a Nineties club-kid attitude. The clothes, meanwhile, take a cue from the comfort dressing that has become de rigueur for legions of people working and socializing from home: belted, robe-like jackets and coats, plus loose pajama-style pants.

Has anybody seen this messenger in person?

I really really like it. It has that saddle moment and is not as loud as the beige oblique.

I've seen it before. I love the shape. It is cute, and the saddle-shaped flap elevates this simple messenger style. I have so many bags in this style already from Gucci, though, so I never considered it.

BEACH BLANKET BABYLON: Dior men’s designer Kim Jones is extending his collaboration with artist Kenny Scharf into a capsule collection of beachwear set to hit select Dior stores from mid-April.

The retro-tinged casual wardrobe spans T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts and bathrobes. Dior Oblique motifs in tone-on-tone are combined with terry cloth, along with two-tone effects and plays on transparency. Blue or white track suits feature the Dior logo in rubber.

Accessories include a boat bag in Dior Oblique jacquard, Atlas sandals in a new white version, and a steel water bottle with a leather and nylon strap.

Jones has made art collaborations a central feature of his design process, with a preference for artists that cross over into pop culture. Scharf’s cartoon-like paintings steeped in sci-fi inspired the pre-fall collection, unveiled in December with a film that showed models walking against an intergalactic backdrop to a soundtrack of Deee-Lite.
