One of my favourite projects of the year. Where The Wild Flowers Are is an editorial featuring Kim Jones’ Dior Men’s Resort 2021 collection. Photographed by Joel Tozer, shot in the Snowy Mountains, and directed by yours truly.
And Jordan, the king of all wild flowers, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen. “And now,” cried Jordan, “let the wild rumpus start!”
Dior Summer 2020 is an ode to the history of the Maison, all the while being an interplay between past, present and future.
The value of the past, looking ahead from the present.
How Soon Is Now – not to be confused with The Smiths but also not to be exclusive from – follows the idea of this season’s collection reinterpreting Dior’s modern history, a new heritage.
Set against the exposed coastal rock of Sydney’s east, the location ties in the sculptural and architectural influences that were integral to Daniel Arsham’s collaboration.
Finding the shapes in the natural rock that paid homage to the incidental beauty of natural history, and the details in Dior’s Summer 2020.
“This collection explores anticipation and the elasticity of time, simultaneously looking back and forward,” described by representatives of Dior.
“History is not immutable: it is dynamic, changing and alive. This collection is a tribute to Dior, the one that’s familiar and the one still taking form.”
Kim Jones makes things with his movements that I, for the life of me, could never write with a pen.
A focus piece on the unintentional yet raw beauty within the way a Dior garment moves on man. Whether within the motion, or in emotion. Through a stride, through a phone call, through a longing gaze at art, or at someone.
Through the simplicity of dark city landscapes, and shadows on buildings, the element of Dior slices through your everyday views.
