MENS FASHION DIOR MENS WINTER 2019-20 CAMPAIGN Dior unveils the campaign for the Winter 2019-2020 men’s collection by Kim Jones. In tribute to Christian Dior’s first vocation - he was a gallerist and art collector before founding his couture house – this series of images by Steven Meisel showcases the collection’s silhouettes in a decor inspired by the atelier of an iconic figure of California’s 1970s punk scene, Raymond Pettibon. His works provide a captivating backdrop, highlighting Kim Jones’s designs, which include pieces done in collaboration with the American artist. “We selected some of our favorite pieces of Raymond’s work which had never been seen or shown before because they were things I loved,” says the Artistic Director about works, such as a mysterious face on a sweater, which appear here for the first time. 56 The Art of Luxury Issue 40 2019
