MODERN-DAY FLâNEURS AT DIOR WINTER 2026-2027 SHOW

1 mês ago

Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior, plays with history and affluence for a men’s collection guided by joy. Against a reflective and theatrical décor, the Dior spirit dialogues with that of Paul Poiret, a celebrated Parisian couturier in the early 20th century.

A commemorative plaque in front of the Dior boutique at 30 Avenue Montaigne celebrates Paul Poiret’s oeuvre with the silhouette of a woman in a yellow dress. The bright, non-conformist color reappears this season in the spiky hair of Dior models. These style aristocrats make new connections, weaving together seemingly contradictory ideas. Their bombers flow into brocade capes, echoing Poiret’s opulent coats. Beaded tops reference the couturier’s fluid ballgowns, and sparkling embroidered epaulettes electrify classic polo shirts. Outerwear fuses the technical and the opulent. Enveloping Parkas and balloon-back field jackets impart movement.

The masculine and feminine divide is blurred, the rules of tailoring challenged. Long johns replace trousers, cropped Bar jackets and tailcoats add to the fun. The silhouettes take on a joyful élan with lustrous velvets, talisman necklaces, luminous jacquards and knit embroideries that glisten day and night. The flâneurs carry soft messenger bags over their shoulders as they stroll through the city as if on a runway. At Dior, dressing up becomes a game of uninhibited combinations, letting old and new collide.
