Kim Jones has once again spotlighted craftsmanship by enlisting the iconic Italian streetwear brand Stone Island, founded by Massimo Osti, for Dior Men’s latest collaborative capsule.
During his tenure at Dior, Kim Jones has made collaborations a hallmark, bringing in notable names like KAWS, Travis Scott, and now Stone Island. These collaborations allow Jones to explore the intersection of high fashion and streetwear, creating modern, innovative designs. The Dior and Stone Island capsule is a groundbreaking collection that blends Parisian haute couture with Northern Italian functional detailing.
This collection merges the conventions and techniques of both fashion houses, drawing heavily on military-inspired silhouettes. It harmonizes Dior’s tailoring traditions with premium materials and the unique dyeing and embroidery techniques of Stone Island. The pieces are co-branded, featuring the distinctive signs and symbols of both labels, such as the “Double Pleat” from Dior’s Spring/Summer 1952 haute couture collection and Stone Island’s “Dutch Rope” detailing. Stone Island’s iconic compass insignia is prominently featured throughout, appearing on badges on sleeves, trousers, and accessories. The footwear in the collection includes sneakers crafted from Stone Island’s signature cotton sateen, adorned with stitched Dior Oblique patterns.
