Kim Jones‘ fascination with urban culture has been evident throughout his career, but now that he pulls the creative strings at Dior for its men’s collections, it’s truly going leaps and bounds. Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama‘s work received a major boost during the presentation of the Dior A/W 2019 men’s collection in Tokyo last November, and to for the hotly anticipated global launch, an additional capsule collection has been created. The Dior logo has been reinterpreted, using Sorayama’s well-known sexy robot and signature dinosaur on a series of T-shirts, a sweatshirt, a sweater, a bandana and a pochette, sneakers, a card holder, and a brass necklace. In tribute to founder Christian Dior‘s love of flowers and Japan, the items are strewn with cherry blossom petals. The Dior x Hajime Sorayama capsule collection is available at select Dior boutiques and other depositories across the planet, but can also be purchased online.
