Dior in conversation. Dior collaborates with Sacai, the independent fashion house founded in 1999, on a project that represents a creative dialogue between two designers, two heritages, and two cultures. Men's Artistic Director Kim Jones worked with Sacai's Chitose Abe to create a men's capsule collection. The collection features a customised Dior logo, incorporating the Sacai logo into the Dior "i", ensuring that the pieces blend the distinctive identities of both brands, in terms of aesthetics and outlook.

Sacai's signature hybrid spirit permeates the entire collection. Combining Dior tailoring with Sacai's sportswear influences, pieces combine Dior's unparalleled savoir-faire with Sacai's unique expertise. Signature Dior silhouettes, like the overcoat and the Taylor Oblique, are paired with materials and techniques borrowed from Sacai's world, while floral embellishments from Dior are combined with Sacai's signature modern tailoring. The color palette is predominantly black and white, evoking mid-century fashion photography. The creative exchange between Paris and Tokyo, a hallmark of Christian Dior's own couture, is evident throughout the collection. Japanese denim is used in pieces that combine workwear silhouettes and practical details with the sophistication of the Parisian couture house. Iconic Dior pieces, like the soft beret by Stephen Jones, are reinterpreted, offering a fresh perspective on Dior's history.

The Saddle bag, available in various shapes, is highlighted by Sacai's signature practical details, such as pockets and drawstrings, and in vibrant olive and orange nylon and leather combinations reminiscent of Sacai's classic bomber jacket. The bold layering of the soles of the Dior Snow and Dior Explorer boots reflects Sacai's unique creativity. The iconic "CD" logo, crafted from brass with gold and silver accents, is complemented by Sacai's signature pearl jewelry, adding a finishing touch to the collection's unique style. Each look was born from a dialogue between longtime friends Kim Jones and Chitose Abe, who are collaborating for the first time. This unique collection represents an exchange of ideas between the two creators, a true fusion. Inspired by Dior's heritage, the capsule collection offers a fresh perspective on both brands, and will be available from November 2021.
