Dior Presents the Dior and Kenny Scharf* Capsule for the Chinese New Year
Perpetuating the dialogue initiated between Kim Jones and Kenny Scharf* for the Dior Fall 2021 men’s show, the House is unveiling, via a licensing agent Artestar, an exclusive capsule for the Lunar New Year. In tribute to the Chinese zodiac sign to be celebrated in 2022 – the Water Tiger – the American artist offers an original reinterpretation of this emblem, at the heart of a collection brimming with joyous energy.
This irresistible motif is transformed into prints, embroidery and patches appearing on shirts, knitwear, denim pants and down jackets; all seasonal pieces rendered sublime in a palette of blue, white, and red – a lucky color cherished in Chinese culture.
The feline also punctuates the line’s accessories – including men’s jewelry – as well as the Dior Lingot 22 and Dior Lock bags, and the B27 sneakers, now in a gray leather version.
* Partnership in collaboration with Artestar, a global licensing agency and creative consultancy representing high-profile artists, photographers, designers, and creatives.
