The Dior men's wear show featured striking visuals and performances that evoked deep metaphors about the fashion industry's challenges. Kim Jones, the creative head at Dior, faces ongoing speculation regarding his future with LVMH, prompting intense media interest. The show included symbolism, notably models with ribbons over their eyes to represent isolation from the pressures of the fashion world. The soundtrack from the Alexander McQueen documentary underscored the emotional weight surrounding the industry and its impact on designers, hinting at the profound implications of artistic expression within luxury fashion.
The first model, and a few others arriving later, had ribbons tied over their eyes, as if to say, Here I am, blocking out the world.
For context: The future of Kim Jones, the Dior Men's artistic director, has been the subject of endless (and I mean endless) rumors for months, if not years.
Was this some grand metaphor about the realities of being a fashion designer in today's age? Especially one at LVMH, the world's largest luxury group?
The soundtrack was a song from McQueen, the 2018 documentary about Alexander McQueen, a fellow British designer who died by suicide.
