For new Spring/Summer 2015 collection, Dior menswear designer, Kris Van Assche mixed the staple tailored business suits of the Dior man with a spattering of the easel of southern French bohemian artists. He said he delved into Christian Dior’s world for a collection in which the “bourgeois meets the artist”, elaborating with “I wanted a sense of renewal and an idea of Christian Dior’s artistic milieu to come through as well as his love of formality and tradition.”
The collection is inspired by Christian Dior’s life who would himself travel away from Paris mid-century and gather in artistic and literary circles. Navy and lighter shades of blue with tuxedos and pinstripes comprised a majority of the Spring/Summer 2015 offerings while touches of red and yellow appeared for contrast.
