Dior Homme presents a fashionable, yet rugged, two-tone boot offering for this Spring/Summer 2012 season. The predominantly black brogue-style boots are comprised of calfskin and they feature an indented rubber platform sole that resembles a serrated blade. These boots are currently available at retailers such as colette.

Direct from Paris, is a full look at Kris van Assche’s Christian Dior mens Fall 2012 runway collection. Featuring an exclusive remix of Woodkid’s “Iron” as the musical backdrop, the show, entitled “A Solider on My Own,” took on a casual military theme with officer’s green and khaki tones throughout, as well as a mix of sportswear, including inside out jackets, baseball caps and aviator sunglasses. Overall an impressive yet accessible collection.

As with our Junya coverage, we also take you into the crowd, pre and post show for a look at what the attendees were wearing.

On December 19, 2011 Dior Homme opened its first retail boutique in San Francisco, California. Located at 216 Stockton Street in Union Square, the boutique occupies two floors and 2,200 square feet of retail space, and features a mix of men’s ready-to-wear and accessories. This is the seventh Dior Homme boutique in the United States, of which three – New York, Beverly Hills, and now San Francisco – are freestanding.

The Dior Homme boutique in San Francisco, like the other stores, is designed as a unique, multi- dimensional space incorporating luxe materials with rich, tactile finishes throughout. The format brings together distinct modern and traditional elements that reflect the modern and traditional aesthetic of the Dior Homme brand.

To enhance the tactile environment of the boutique, Dior Homme has commissioned San Francisco-based artist and illustrator Hannah Stouffer to install a unique wall mural occupying the second floor landing of the staircase. The mural will stand to evoke the bold, masculine Dior Homme aesthetic, while also bridging the unique architecture of the space.
The boutique will offer merchandise across all categories presently available under the Dior Homme label, including ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, leather goods, watches, jewelry, and fragrance.

Dior Homme has always had a big fanbase for their denim items. This season they are releasing the limited edition Blackberry Bush denim jacket in Japan. Made from premium Italian cotton, the jacket comes with lots of nice details, including special washes and tonal embroideries. The jacket will release this month at the Dior Ginza store in Tokyo.

Dior Homme has released a new short film for Fall/Winter 2011, entitled ‘The Wanderer’. Produced by Willy Vanderperre, the new collection is showcased in a moody outdoor set. Enjoy!

The backpack has certainly had a really strong comeback these last years. Along with the outdoor/heritage trends going on, the backpack also made a welcome return. Many times inspired by more technical mountain packs, everybody brand features the piece in one way or another in their collections. Even Dior Homme has decided to get in there and we have to admit, it might be one of the best ones we have seen so far this year.

While being inspired by a trend that technically does not go very well with the world of Dior Homme, they managed to create a backpack that stays true to the brand. Clean lines, premium materials and just overall sharp design. It comes in both leather and wool options and should be available now from Dior Homme stores and retailers.

For Fall/Winter 2011 Dior Homme introduces the ‘Tailleur’ sneaker. The high top comes with a linen, horse hair toile upper and a tailored finish. Details are set in white calfskin, as well as tone in tone and contrasting embroideries. A sneaker which seems very simple at first, but on a second look features lots of different materials, layers and design elements. Look out for a release soon.

VMAN has produced a fantastic new photo spread, entitled ‘Tribes of Autumn’. Featured are  the following brands: rag & bone, Dries van Noten, Raf Simons, Neil Barrett, Kris Van Assche, Dsquared2, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Thom Browne, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, Burberry Prorsum, Jil Sander, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada, Gucci, D&G and Dior Homme.

Rather than mixing the brands, the magazine chose to do one shot per brand, featuring several complete outfits of the brand from the coming Fall/Winter 2011 season. We really like that each brand was given proper space and that each brand’s clothing was highlighted in the respective mood of the coming collection. The outcome is a series of images that give a great round-up of what you will be seeing in stores in the coming months.

Today we attended the runway show of the new Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2012 Collection in Paris. Kris van Assche presented a sharply tailored collection, exclusively using white, beige, black and grey tones with outfits mostly styled entirely tonal. In terms of aesthetic the designer styled work clothing in a more casual way, yet with very sharp lines. Most models were also outfitted with hats, adding even more casual flair to the line.
