The post-Galliano age

Stefano Pilati.

Bets on who will be the successor of John Galliano at Christian Dior. The Irish largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, indicates the Italian Stefano Pilati, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent, as a favorite to succeed.
At the second position is Hedi Slimane, great photographer and former director of Christian Dior menswear. The third name is Riccardo Tisci, followed by the current director of Dior's menswear, Kriss Van Assche. Four sensational names that would completely change the John Galliano's vision on Dior woman.

"The time I had some time alone" by Willy Vanderperre for Dior Homme

Kriss Van Assche chose photographer Willy Vanderperre to present his Dior Homme spring/summer 2011 collection. They have made a short movie where modern and traditional aesthetics coexist.

It's a film with a dreamlike atmosphere where person and suit come together. The abandoned location is in contrast to the luxury; the movie's idea is to show the dreams of youth, the careless feeling of freedom, the eroticism of the body enhanced by smooth fabrics. An evocative video, not a simple fashion recording.

KRIS VAN ASSCHE F/W 2011-2012

Kris Van Assche celebrated the suit in his own way. The KVA's clothes are not totally recognizable as suits, but they are so perfectly KVA mood: loose and angular at the same time, dark and protective, they seem to have an armored look. Very impenetrable clothes that reveal very little, closed by buttons and zip. The lengths of the upper part are very interesting, as well as the maxi-neck long sweatshirt.

Kris Van Assche ha celebrato la tuta a modo suo. Già, perchè gli abiti di KVA non sono assolutamente riconoscibile come abiti, ma rientrano perfettamente nel suo mood: sono sciolti ed angolari allo stesso tempo, scuri e protettivi, tanto che sembra abbiano un aspetto corazzato. Sono abiti molto ermetici, rivelano poco, sembrano essere impenetrabili, sempre chiusi da bottoni o da zip. Molto interessanti le lunghezze della parte superiore, così come le lunghe felpe dai maxi colli
