IT STARTED with a focus on Paris and New York in the 1970s for Dior Men‘s autumn-winter 2025 collection. Translating the vibrant energy from the streets of these two cities and blurring the boundaries between formal and informal, the result was a combination of downtown cool and European chic. Bringing the same duality to the campaign, photographer Alasdair McLellan highlights the multifaceted nature of the pieces.
Set with minimal distractions and distinguished with pastel yellow tones and vintage touches, the models showcase the precision of the House’s ateliers when it comes to tailoring with both relaxed and fitted silhouettes on display. The Oblique jacket is elongated to become a Martingale, wide-leg pants are made for day-to-day ease, and Harrington-style jackets are given a graphic injection with the Cannage pattern.
Recognisable motifs were everywhere to be seen. The Dior Gravity Leather Backpack, the Black Jacquard Hobo Rider Soft, the Camera Bag and the B33 Spin Sneakers were a few of the vast accessories that have dominated the menswear side for the past few seasons. However, there was a surprise amongst the images, with the Bobby Mini Bag – a leather pouch that pays homage to the founder’s dog – and is the ideal companion to take with you everywhere.
