DIOR has crafted an ode to the modern man with its new collection: the Icons Capsule.
This collection was designed by the Kim Jones and actualised in a campaign featuring the renowned actor Robert Pattinson. Appointed a Dior ambassador since 2013, his timeless allure epitomises the effortless sophistication of the brand and its collection, with the new line just as sophisticated and daring as his persona.
Icons Capsule is a representation of the modern, “neo-wardrobe,” with the masterful melding of classic Dior pieces with outré detailing. Comprising of a muted colour palette and clean, avante lines, each garment is tailored to fit the modern man. As Jones continues to innovate, he simultaneously honours the traditional suiting archives, adorning them with the brand’s innovative savoir-faire.
Lensed by British photographer, Alasdair McLellan who beautifully depicts the very essence of understated suave, the campaign sees the subject fitted with wide-leg pants and long, structured coats, paired with cashmere knits and sleek Harrington jackets.
A lovely accent to the collection are the accessories. The Dior Gravity Leather Messenger Bag, Tote and Weekender, all embellished with the signature Dior Oblique motif. Paired with the chic and modern curves of the B33 sneakers, these pieces truly complete the look, crossing effortlessness with assertive – making for the perfect fit.
