Kris Van Assche found inspiration from Christian Dior himself, when looking into archives he discovered a letter that was penned by Dior, which read "Traditions have to be maintained," Dior wrote. "In troubled times like ours, we must maintain these traditions, which are our luxury and the flower of our civilization." Van Assche was so moved by his words, that the writings were printed onto clothes themselves. They were printed on jackets and trousers, often teamed together.
Van Assche wanted to use a relaxed method, he said it was new to him. The models walked casually with their hands in their pockets, whilst the clothes charmed the audience. The collection uses some beautiful colours, ranging from deep navy to bright bumble-bee yellow. After last seasons collection, using jeans and simple sneakers, Van Assche let that inspiration flow into this collection. The collection is very well rounded, focusing on sophisticated clothes, as well as more youthful, casual clothes.

Such a cool, relaxed collection, and I love the story behind it!
ReplyDeleteSame, the story behind it IS really cool. I like it when there's meaning behind a collection and something personal for the designer :-)
