Dior Homme Menswear Fall/Winter 2015-2016
"Leave it to Kris Van Assche to remind us that, whilst Day-Glo and man skirts come and go, Paris menswear at its heart has always been about rigour and refinement. The creative director of Dior Homme opened his AW15 show by grandly sweeping back a curtain to reveal an ensemble of violinists to welcome his sleek tuxedo suiting onto the stage. Normally, the eveningwear is the final flourish to a designer’s collection but here Van Assche presented it straight off the bat as a statement of intent."
