Dior Homme
A full-scale reproduction of the Dior salon in Avenue Montaigne - fabricated in grey gauze with floating white boiserie paneling and built into the Tennis Club de Paris - and a simple message 'Less and More', was the setting for the Dior Homme show. Kris Van Assche continued with the themes he showed for winter -clean, almost detail free garments (the 'less') and the volumes he is now known for (one assumes the 'more'). With an almost monochromatic palate of chalk, black and a very fresh khaki-cum-mustard shade which hit it off particularly well with ecru, the message seemed mainly focused on the silhouette. Buttons were replaced with ring pulls or hidden beneath facings, socks were banished - even when the footwear was boots - and the pants were cropped short enough for a fleeting flash of flesh
