DIOR FALL 2020 COLLECTION CAMPAIGN BY Steven Meisel

“This campaign captures the idea of Miami and the modern vision of Dior enhanced by Shawn’s graphic identity,” explains Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Dior menswear,

Like psychedelic pictorial waves, the letters in “Dior” unfold in black and white, forming the subtle backdrop of campaign images. Evoking the sun-drenched spirit of Florida, Fall 2020 looks by Kim Jones appear in a decor inspired by the scenography at Dior’s fashion show in Miami, featuring original sketches by the artist and designer Shawn Stussy*, a key figure of the '80s surf scene.

“This campaign captures the idea of Miami and Dior’s modern vision enhanced by Shawn’s graphic identity,” explains Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Dior menswear. Like graffiti, the mesmerizing motif born of this collaboration with the iconoclastic American artist appears on psychedelic shirts, sweaters and bob hats in tutti-frutti or two-tone versions. It also crops up on the iconic B23 sneakers as well as on an exclusive version of the Saddle bag featuring bead-embroidered white characters contrasted against a navy ground. The Dior Oblique canvas clads the new Saddle Soft bag, now revisited in a hobo format, as well as a range of other jacquard bags in soft hues, and punctuates black leather ankle boots with its instantly recognizable design.
