Dior's Kim Jones Presents Ballet-Inspired Collection at Paris Fashion Week

The collection, attended by a star-studded audience, blends traditional tailoring with theatrical glamour, introducing Men's couture for the first time.

Kim Jones, Dior's menswear designer, presented his fall/winter 2024 collection at Paris Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from ballet icons Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev.
The collection was a blend of Dior's fine tailoring with theatrical glamour, featuring muted beiges and grays enlivened with bursts of color and a mix of traditional tailoring and streetwear elements.
The show was attended by a star-studded audience including Lewis Hamilton, Bill Nighy, Kate Moss, Nicholas Hoult, Rita Ora, Princess Eugenie and Pharrell Williams.
For the first time, Jones introduced Men’s couture for Dior, creating a contrast between the subdued tones and tailoring of the first half of the show and the shimmer, gleam, and sparkle that dominated the latter part.
The collection paid homage to Nureyev’s lavish style with a silver Uchikake kimono and modern silhouettes including sleek trousers and ribbed knits.
