DIOR HOMME: MONDRIAN STYLE






DIOR HOMME SPRING 2014 MENSWEAR


Under the burning lights of a mirrored labyrinth a geometric star is born. Kris Van Assche’s elitist collective was a reckoning of sorts, formal discipline meets liberal Mondrian fantasy. Tactile paneling in monochromatic shades fashioned a representation of Piet Mondrian’s later work. The menswear revolutionary, working almost exclusively from a base palette of muted blues with accents of burgundy and shiny black, produced sleek lines and perfect symmetry, underpinning the seamless constitution for tailoring we’ve come to expect from Van Assche. Van Assche, who pioneered slim-line men’s silhouettes in his earlier career at Yves Saint Laurent, poked fun at his masterclass in suit separates applying the brush of modernism to every facet of the dialogue, side-part models in tow.
