Dior Men's New Capsule Is All About the Cannage
Historic symbols, a graphic line, plus the notion of time-defying elegance hone in on menswear signatures for a conversation on codified classism in Dior Men’s latest capsule collection. Monsieur Dior’s penultimate symbol — the Cannage — beats at the heart of a detailed approach to marry past with present technicalities.
Monsieur Dior salon chairs, the result of a collaboration with Victor Grandpierre, featured a rattan cannage design. Driven by a Napoleon III style, the Dior Cannage adds an exuberance of ornamentation that does not distract from overall design messages. The Dior Cannage has achieved a timelessness of print, pattern and texture across the maison’s rich history.
Cannage characteristics tackle the precision found in the menswear realm from Kim Jones’ utilitarian clothes capsule. Harmony finds its balance in workwear vests as the Cannage takes shape as a high-relief quilted pattern that if you zoom out, slightly resembles its Lady Dior counterpart. The exuberance of heritage is seen across the capsule in Cannage-overstitched denim, perforated knit shirting and silken bermuda twin sets. Decorative aspects of the Cannage resonate in any era using Monsieur Dior's preferred blue, white or gray colours. In shading across Dior logos, turning its typeface inside out to transform into what the capsule celebrates: the Dior Cannage.
Experience the evocation of heritage as the Cannage echoes itself in subtle designs across menswear’s functional frontier when Dior Men's Cannage Capsule debuts on 11 April.
