Even though I wasn’t a big fan of Kris Van Assche’s work for Dior Homme for the same season, I quite liked the latest collection of his eponymous label. The collection consisted solely of black, white and grey monochromes save for the occasional jolts of black spray paint. As with previous collections, we see this progressive designer redefine the rules of menswear.
Old classics like the suit are given a fresh take with fabrics that promote fluidity, never mind that the trousers are slouchy and are bunching up at the ankle.
On several looks we see pants worn on the hips and not rightfully on the waists, coupled with smartly tucked in shirts.
On other occasions we see accentuations at the waist with sashes and what seems to be a utilitarian but slim workers’ pouch, all paired together in monochrome to maintain his streamlined, modern look.
I particularly liked his use of the crewneck, with mid-length sleeves in his version, layered over a collared shirt.
Other notable looks:
Like the shirt's stacking effect at the forearm, looser at the upper arm.
The looser cut and the addition of sash-belt lends a new dimension to the leather jacket
Slouchy, right down to the top worn inside.
