Dior is on a roll, launching pop-up stores across the planet dedicated to the A/W 2021 Men’s Collection which features designs on which creative director Kim Jones collaborated with iconic painter Kenny Scharf. Needless to say, one of the luxury brand’s ephemeral stores has opened in Tokyo, at Miyashita Park to be precise, currently the preferred high-end men’s fashion shopping destination of the city’s most discerning youth. The arrival of the Dior pop-up store is marked by Scharf’s playful pop characters decorating the shopping centre’s rooftop, but also the shop itself is adorned by life-size models and a bold infusion of acid colours similarly to pieces of the aforementioned collection. The store also stocks a range of special items, including a tailored jacket decorated with a moiré ribbon, a special fabric which also colours coats and bomber jackets, an embroidered soft saddle bag, the Oblique Jacquard roller bag, and B2 sneakers (open through Jun 6). Other Dior pop-up stores have opened in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, London and Vancouver.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
