“DIOR IS A HAUTE couture house: it is all about the clothes. At the heart of Dior is silhouette, shape, technique and fabrication of the very highest order. I like to think that in my five years of being here… I have never forgotten this.”

Last June, Kim Jones marked five years at the helm of the French house with a collection that paid homage to the maison’s history, while looking towards the future. At the time, we observed: pink and lime static-look coats, grey vests and jackets were immaculately structured and textured. Archetypal menswear items—namely shirts and suiting—were clean as can be, transformed through embroidered plastic, raffia, sequins and beading. Pants were relaxed, hanging on the leg and cropped above the ankles, a shift in direction from the sky high-waisted options we’ve seen decorate runways for much of this season. There were patterned short-shorts, too—even a leopard-print pair, if that’s your thing.

Now, those leopard-print short-shorts and metallic tweeds are available for us to purchase, wear and treasure forever as heirlooms of contemporary Dior that pay tribute to the codes established by some of the house’s great designers: Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré, and Marc Bohan.

For the March/April 2024 issue of Esquire, we indulged in the subtle glamour of the collection, styling some of our favourite models in its standout pieces.
