THEÂ FRENCH Maison Dior has merged high fashion with sportswear with its latest excursion into skiwear, headed by creative director Kim Jones. The collection culminates in a playfully colourful capsule certain to make an impact both on the slopes, and on the streets.
The pursuit for designer skiwear has become increasingly popular over recent years. Instagram snow bunnies eager to show off their drip in the mountains have flocked to brands from Chanel and Balmain, and even streetwear brands like Supreme, to become the best dressed in the resort, but Dior’s latest venture is no exception, and expertly marries precision with the whimsical attitude Jones has become recognised for.
Pieces from the Dior ski capsule
Though certain to become a feature of many Dior-lover’s winter wardrobe, it is perfectly suited for harsh mountainous terrains, with down jackets and ski suits shown alongside a range of protective equipment including ski masks to body armour.Â
The capsule also debuts a series of collaborations from collaborative clothing design with Descente, a Japanese sports clothing specialist, to a graphic snowboard created by Swedish brans AK SKI, the collection positions itself to be a hit with both ski and fashion enthusiasts alike.
