Dior Men Explores the World of Abstract Art for Fall/Winter 2021 Collection

True to form, Kim Jones once again blurs the line between art and fashion in Dior Men's Fall/Winter 2021 collection in his new collaboration with artist Peter Doig. Unlike the Maison's previous collection with artist Kenny Scharf for Pre-Fall 2021, its newest menswear release does not employ graphic prints or zodiac symbolism. Instead, the collection relies on a bright, yet subdued color pattern (deep purple, butter yellow, bright orange, etc.) and well-structured outerwear pieces.

Beginning his career in the early '90s, Doig is known for his abstract landscapes that tackle subjects in pop culture. His multi-dimensional, narrative-style paintings have an almost water-like effect to them, giving the stationary image a feeling of moment.

To announce the collaboration, Jones shared a photo of the event's invitation on Instagram which featured one of Doig's works. Jones wrote in the caption, "The invitation is a painting of Christian Dior in an outfit designed and made by Pierre Cardin for a masked ball 1949." Doig, himself, also took to social media to express his excitement for the collection by posting a painting of his from the runway show.
