The savoir-faire
Celebrating the sportswear elegance instilled by the Artistic Director of Dior men’s collections, this wool jacquard coat emulates black moiré in a combination of gray and navy reflections and reinterprets a painting by the Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo. In a visual play of reliefs recalling a trompe l'oeil, the work’s contours are etched out in tone-on-tone using subtle inlays of braid trim, a process requiring multiple stages of meticulous pattern-making, cutting and placement. Exceptional craftsmanship expressed through images, in the heart of the Dior Ateliers.
Embodying the quintessence of Dior tailoring, this woolen suit jacket is inspired by the traditional “habit à la française” (18th-century men’s suit), recognizable for its tails and cigarette epaulettes. Perpetuating the House’s art of detail, this exceptional piece, after the meticulous pattern-making, cutting and assembly work stages, is punctuated with passementerie combined with fabric-covered Bar buttons in homage to Christian Dior’s iconic New Look silhouette of 1947. Contemporary audacity revealed through images.
