Dudes and their Diors

[michi_chi]

Sharing this here as it belongs more to the men's collection. My SA told me to expect a 'big box' last week. He likes to keep things a surprise and didn't give me any details of what to expect. Imagine my delight and surprise when I opened the (it was indeed) big box I was handed to see this lovely gift in time for Lunar New Year!





I love the tiger design but haven't found anything that I like so I was very happy my SA sent me this so I have something with Kenny Scharf's tiger. The holographic tiger is really cool, although I only met my SA around this time last year, he knows me pretty well and figured I'd like the men's set more than the ladies which is a kite, I imagine with the butterfly motif

I finally picked up my Sacai x Dior jacket from the alterations. The sleeves were raised by 1 cm for a perfect fit. So happy to finally have the jacket in my possession, as I waited a very long time since the Sacai collection launched on Nov 11. Can't wait to wear it out, although we had a huge snowstorm, so gotta wait till the ground is cleared or else the slush and snow ruins the World Tour B27s that I plan to wear with this jacket.

Also got the Lunar New Year gift from my SA. Now I'm curious what the women's kite gift looks like!

I love the jacket, great choice! I really like the contrast between the tailored suit jacket with deconstructed parts of a more casual sports jacket. As for the Ladies' gift of a kite, I wonder if it has a similar design to the Dior Beauty red envelopes in this video (around 1:58)? My SA thought I would like the men's gift more because his words were "I couldn’t imagine you having fun in Edinburgh with a kite" (one there's not too many places around where I can fly a kite, but two I can't see myself flying a kite in the strong winds here either )



Watched this video about Kim Jones going back to Dior archives for inspiration for the Men's A/W 2022-2023 collection and putting a modern men's spin on the Bar jacket and embroidery. Personally I think it's brilliant but then again I'm a woman so am keen to hear what you gents think?

there are so many things I want from this collection!! But the price point will be $$$ so I am going to focus in on one thing and it will likely be a bar jacket of some sort. I think this collection was one of Kim’s strongest in a very long while, all the looks were absolutely amazing. I was saying to @averagejoe that it seemed like a second edition of Kim’s debut collection, with so many classic motifs and designs revisited, modernized, and given a masculine edge.

I've seen a partial price list (albeit in RMB) for Men's FW22:

• Embroidered Felt Birkenstocks: 29,000 RMB | ~$4.6K
• Garden Embroidered Turtleneck Sweater (not featured on runway; similar embroideries to the mesh shirt look #26): 280,000 RMB | ~$44,000
• Embellished Dior Carlo Derbys: 42,000 RMB | ~$6,600

Wow I did not know that those white parts on the men's Bar jackets were the canvas inside being cut and exposed.

I wonder if they used the same red envelopes for their beauty gift.

This Dior clutch had been on my wishlist for a really long time ever since I asked for advice on this thread (got distracted and bought a watch few months back, and also had to get a suit for an event). So couple of days back I had finally bought it, and my SA wrapped and packaged it really nicely for me, as seen by my overzealous spamming of photos here (especially since most of my bags from other luxury brands usually come in just the dust bag and there really wasn't any unboxing to do). They were out of the blue Homme boxes but the white one looks just as gorgeous, if not more.

Also while I was waiting for payment, my SA gave me a bottle of drink in the intricately designed paper bag! Definitely gonna display it on my closet

And wishing everyone here who celebrates lunar new year a prosperous one ahead. Stay safe everybody!

I love this collection too and agree it's one of the strongest. So happy to see more codes like cannage and not mostly logomania and artists prints. Also considering a jacket or suit jacket.

Out with the saddle, B23s and oblique bracelet…

Does anybody know if the Tri-fold Wallet is available in Europe? It's one of the things I'm considering picking up in a few months while I'm traveling, but it's not on the European Dior websites from what I can see.
