Take a look at the latest Dior x Sacai collection

Collaboration has become a thing for luxury fashion brands to spark conversations. Although we’re inundated with countless partnerships to the point a collaboration might feel like just another collection, the soon-to-be-released Dior x Sacai collection brings a waft of fresh air to the fashion landscape.

The collection sees Sacai’s Chitose Abe inspiring the collection with her métier of hybridisation and a subtle palette predominated by black and white. A clever blend between Dior’s immaculate tailoring and Sacai’s sportswear hallmarks, overcoat is treated with her calling card of cutting and splicing where a mix of white and ivory fabrics are employed. Elsewhere, white short sleeve top with slits is given a touch of Abe’s signature at the front pocket and layered with a lightweight inner shirt. Knitwear and denimwear have also found their way on the collection, refined by the know-how of Parisian couture house while pairing with reworked soft berets designed by Stephen Jones.

Accessories wise, the iconic Saddle bag is reinterpreted with utilitarian vernacular with detailing on the pockets and drawstrings, and functional nylon in vibrant shades of olive and orange, echoing classic Sacai bomber jacket. The Dior Snow and Dior Explorer boots are also given a facelift with an interplay of layers at the soles. The new necklace composed of a combination of brass and pearls, on the other hand, is definitely a standout that has the potential to be the next IT jewellery.

 

The collection will launch in November 2021.

Baby Dior Inspires Renewed “Baby Fever” With an All-New Essential Line For Boys

While “baby fever” a.k.a. the longing for a child, is not a new phenomenon, an increasing number of youths in their late teens and early twenties are actively striving to create mini versions of themselves. Perhaps not for reasons we are traditionally familiar with, and despite how infectiously adorable babies are, young children seem to be doing alarmingly well in the world of social media – making them ideal bait for likes, follows and subscribes – which in this day and age, can make you a lot of money.

Baby Dior Inspires Renewed “Baby Fever” With an All-New Essential Line For Boys

Take DJ Khaled’s son for example. With a birth documented on Snapchat, and over 1.8M Instagram followers by the time he was three, Asahd Khaled is just one of many instances children have proven more desirable than adults. In fact, in 2018, the highest-paid YouTube star was a seven-year-old who reviewed toys and had garnered at least $22M in a year.

Without having to look too far at the grandiosity of celebrity children, viral Twitter and Instagram posts happen to be evidence in itself of the subconscious commodification of children. Dressed to the nines in the latest designer brands and trends, with hair styled professionally, softly blushed cheeks and the lighting just perfect; the prevalence of these images over the past few years have sparked an immense online debate on everything from parenthood, to the dangers of social media, and the ingrained superficial morals/wellbeing/priorities of our next generation.

I say all this as a reminder to maintain balance and be responsible to the subconscious habits that we pass down to those younger than us. Besides, looking good has never been bad. As a matter of fact, dressing up pretty and have my photo taken without needing to ask for it, was probably the best part of childhood, second only to sweating buckets in the playground and playing hide-and-go-seek across residential buildings.

Echoing the Dior Essential Men’s Capsule Designed by Kim Jones, Baby Dior unveils a series of looks inspired by its singular aesthetic, combining elegance and a sportswear spirit. Fusing timeless shapes and monochrome shades of navy blue, grey and white, these exceptional designs play on house codes such as the Dior Oblique motif, which patterns down jackets and shirts in a tone-on-tone version; as well as the CD icon logo, which punctuates sweatshirts, polo shirts, and T-shirts. Designed to mix and match to create a unique look, these emblematic pieces are currently available on the official Baby Dior website.
