Egypt´s fashionable crowd got a huge dose of true Dior magic and star power last weekend.
Kicking off with an exclusive cocktail presentation of the Fall 2023 men´s capsule collection Dior x Denim Tears within the heart of the new Grand Egyptian Museum, that still has not opened it´s doors to the public, to the magic men´s pre-fall 2023 show under the stars overlooking the Pyramids of Giza complete with a performance of “The Four Seasons” recomposed by Max Richter and performed by the 12 Ensemble Orchestra and a solo violin perfomance by Eloisa-Fleur Thom.
“My interest in Ancient Egypt is about the stars and the sky. It’s that fascination with the ancient world and the parallels with what we look at today; what we inherited from them and what we are still learning from the past. It links to Christian Dior in that sense and by way of his fascination with symbols and superstitions that recur throughout his life and work, one of which is the star. In both the collection and the show there is an idea of‘guided by the stars’ and what that can entail in many ways. It’s about how the past shapes the future or an idea of the future from the past.” Kim Jones, Dior men Creative Director.
As night falls the stars reveal themselves; an influence on ancient and modern civilizations alike. After all, the star was and is part of Dior lore –for both the man and the brand. It was Mr. Dior’s tripping over his ‘lucky star’– a literal object found on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré – that convinced him his destiny was to start his own haute couture house, a house frequently guided by his belief in astrology.
Dior now brought the stars to Egypt.
