Christian Dior Homme Views

General Goods

Dior Homme is the menswear division of Christian Dior SA, the French clothing retailer. Dior Homme is currently under the creative direction of Kris Van Assche since spring/summer 2008. Dior Homme had previously been directed by Hedi Slimane since the fall/winter 2001-02 season; under Hedi Slimane's direction, Dior Homme has introduced a characteristic slim silhouette which has since taken off within the fashion industry. The early collections delved into the exploration of the male sex. The look darkened during the Luster period which was inspired by the electroscene of Berlin. Since 2004 A/W, Dior Homme has delved into exploring the different styles of Rock. A popular rumor is that Karl Lagerfeld lost about 90 pounds so he would fit into one of Slimanes esteemed suits. During the 80s and 90s Dior's menswear line was called Dior Monsieur. Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger, David Beckham, and Kanye West have all been spotted wearing the clothes – it is very popular amongst rockstars.

The sturdy, sparsely architectural and truly gorgeous bottle contradicts the gentle nature that hides within its heavy glass confines. Dior Homme is the most elegant masculine cologne to come out of the Christian Dior studio in a while and it has us wrapped round its little finger! The powdery, creamy, yet also clean ambience of precious rhizomes of iris are laced around deliciously spicy notes of cardamom and traditionally masculine notes of lavender for a composition which oscillates between the coziness of an eiderdown duvet and the posh tan leather insides of a Buick. Beautiful, serene and enveloping.
