The house of Dior has been present in Jakarta for many years, operating two women’s ready-to-wear boutiques, and eventually, also standalone boutique dedicated to cosmetics and fragrances. But as of late, a Dior men’s store has opened its doors at Plaza Indonesia, one of the leading shopping centres in the sprawling Indonesian capital. Needless to say, the popularity of creative director Kim Jones‘ pop culture-influenced designs have boosted sales here too, justifying the opening of a separate men’s boutique. The store occupies a premium spot on the ground floor, right next to the existing women’s boutique, rubbing shoulders with a string of illustrious names from fashion’s upper echelon. The Dior men’s boutique features an interior design by the brand’s in-house design team which takes ample cues from its flagship store on iconic avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris, and although it’s connected to the women’s domain, it also has its very own entrance. The new boutique carries a curated selection of men’s apparel, accessories, bags, small leather goods and eyewear.

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.
