PARIS, Jan 20 (Reuters) – Dior Homme hit the runway on Friday with a polished line of revamped classics, kicking off the Paris Fashion Week menswear shows with a celebrity-packed show.
Crowds of screaming fans lined the Place de la Concorde, erupting in applause at the arrival of K-pop star Jimin, who was named a global brand ambassador for the house earlier this week.
Guests from the LVMH-owned label (LVMH.PA), which also included Eddie Redmayne, “The White Lotus” actor Adam DiMarco, soccer star David Beckham and his son Cruz Beckham, were seated in a dark tent in front of to a wall screen. .
A somber procession followed and the models slowly filed out, while actors Gwendoline Christie and Robert Pattinson recited TS Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land”, their faces projected on the screen.
Dior Men’s Artistic Director Kim Jones transformed familiar pieces such as waterproof bucket hats, raincoats and chunky sweaters into elevated styles in muted colors: ivory, dusty blues and a pale mustard yellow. There were also flowing poncho-type windbreakers, baggy pants with additional pleats, and wide bermuda shorts, worn as skirts.
The men’s fashion shows at Paris Fashion Week will run until January 22.
