Dior Men Fall 2022 Collection
We just saw Dior Men Fall 2022 collection and we are amazed by how Kim Jones articulates the on and on sequence of the novel “On The Road” book by Jack Kerouac, This collection is a journey from one point of Jack’s travelling life to the next.
The collection features exaggerated pieces that are bold and can easily blend in on daily life as lifes journey is the main point of the idea of this amazing show
With the accessories we all know that he nails it everytime, Making consumers buy from each collection.
Below you will find the entire collection
Versace by Fendi & Fendi by Versace
The team at Versace and Fendi consider the collection “The Swap” which is revolutionary especially since both are iconic brands that have existed for decades.
We are usually not shocked when a sports brand like Puma collaborates with Karl Lagerfeld as they use different aesthetics that make the collection both street friendly and high fashion but when high fashion collaborates with high fashion we are left puzzled but very intrigued by the creative process.
Kim Jones creative director of Womans Fendi and Dior Mens alongside the iconic Donatella whip us into shape and we cannot wait to see what they decide to do with the campaign
I’d be lying if I said I was concerned about the pricing of this collection as it will be sold on all Fendi Stores including Versace stores. So with that history of clothing making the price should alert you that it is not a “one mans job” but a collaboration
And als we ask ourselves why the sudden change, And we couldn’t come up with anything but one needs the other to sell and stay afloat problem is who’s job is on the line if that really is the case \

Kim Jones presents first ready-to-wear collection for Fendi
Following his first haute couture show in January, Kim Jones presented his vision of Fendi women’s ready-to-wear for Fall/Winter 2021 on February 24. Alongside Silvia Venturini Fendi for accessories and her daughter Delfina Delettrez Fendi for jewelry, The new Artistic Director paid homage to the women of the Fendi family. Their allure, their legacy and their Italian origins all inspired a collection celebrating family.
The monochrome silhouettes imagined by Kim Jones walked a runway framed by references to ancient Rome in F-shaped glass boxes. In this contemporary museum décor, the vestiges of antiquity focused a spotlight on contrasts between heritage, savoir-faire and ultra-modernity. Kim Jones found inspiration in the wardrobes of the five Fendi sisters, “a powerful dynasty” that energized the development of the family house by recruiting Karl Lagerfeld in 1965. A palette of camel, powdery pink, taupe, olive green and marble white referenced the different generations of Fendi women. The final silhouettes in sophisticated black were a nod to Delfina Delettrez Fendi, who wore a black tuxedo at her first meeting with Kim Jones. A fourth generation member of the family, she embodies the Maison’s creative future. For the show she introduced a new range of Fendi O’Lock jewelry, an update on the iconic logo in the form of padlocks that can only be opened by dialing FENDI.
“The Fendi family are women of intellect who work hard – and that’s what I wanted to celebrate,” said Kim Jones. In an ongoing dialogue with them, the artistic director gave Silvia Venturini Fendi the idea of reappropriating the family “F” to create a bag. With its tilted initial “F”, the Fendi First bag was a highlight accessory, presented in myriad variations, from a jewelry micro pouch on a chain to a clutch in different leathers and exotics. This new classic joins the Peekaboo and Sunshine Shopper. Kim Jones’ new Roman empresses showcase the savoir-faire of the House with these luxurious accessories.
The spectacular quality of the materials – from mink and leathers to silk – impart an exceptional touch to the women who wear them. Fendi workshops meticulously embroidered delicate organza and applied exquisite embossed Selleria stitching on leather accessories, as well as the collars of garbardine trenches and cashmere coats. Listening to the needs of women, Kim Jones said he wanted to create chic and timeless pieces. The show had an air of sensuality with plays of bare skin at the shoulders and midriff. Legs stood out in Karligraphy stockings and ankles were lifted by heels with an inverted Fendi logo inspired by a Karl Lagerfeld archive sketch.
To cap this first ready-to-wear collection for Fendi, Kim Jones took a bow to the captivating song by Carl Abrahamsson & Genesis Breyer P-Orridge titled “S/He Is Her/E”, a powerful echo of the artistic director’s vision, exhorting viewers to “change the world” and “embrace the future with a kiss”.
The runway show and behind the scenes videos of the décor and backstage are posted on the Fendi website.
Dior Resort Collection 2020

electrifying the Paris menswear scene in the process.
Clicking through this pre-collection is a chance to see Jones working in a more minor key and establishing what the Dior Men off-duty vibe looks like. There are elements of street and of sport, both of which are de rigueur at brands even in the highest price bracket. But in these categories too, he’s making use of the house patrimony. Christian Dior was a lover of nature; his garden in the Normandy village of Granville remains a popular tourist destination. He was also knowledgeable about art, having run a gallery before launching his couture label in 1946. Jones brought Monsieur Dior’s two passions together cleverly via one of fashion’s 21st-century preoccupations, a collaboration
The British artist Alex Foxton, who recently had his first solo exhibition at Paris’s Galerie Derouillon and also happens to work in the Dior Men studio, created flower paintings in a pastel palette lifted from his own recent work, which became prints used on camp shirts, blousons, jean jackets, and trenches, as well as an overlay motif on logo bags and accessories.

The collection also includes a selection of single side-buttoning suits that take their cues from Jones’s runway offering. Though they’re more approachable and everyday, they remain powerfully identifiable: a real accomplishment in the shifting, but still startlingly homogenous world of menswear.
Kim Jones said in the podcast with Business of Fashion that he did not want to shape Dior Men’s but lets the house shape him
Looking at the accent of the collection its both streetwear and haute couture formal that is appealing to everyone that is looking to buy, He also mentioned the fact that although the clothes are really expensive selling one literally makes the break even which is the reason why the big fashion houses are doing so great. This is the reason why they have lasted this long
