Known for slim silhouettes and precise tailoring, Dior Homme has
long been a leader in menswear. In this new volume of exquisite
portraits of celebrities and style influencers, socialite
photographer Nikolai von Bismarck celebrates the thoroughly
contemporary style of the revered French fashion house. In the
world of contemporary men s fashion, Christian Dior s sophisticated
legacy has been upheld by innovative designers, especially current
creative director Kim Jones, who s received praise for
incorporating both couture values and streetwear elements into his
work. With his years of experience at the heart of the fashion
world, von Bismarck captures striking images of Kim s designs,
which fuse exquisite detail, romantic patterns, and soft colors
with traditionally masculine silhouettes while retaining the modern
edge of streetwear through sports shoes and chunky industrial
jewelry. Jones s reverence for Dior s heritage is evident in the
photographs even in his most daring innovations he nods to
Christian Dior s favorite patterns and floral motifs, as well as
tailoring inspired by the signature couture designs of vintage
Dior. A rare look inside an iconic menswear brand consistently at
the foreground of celebrity style, The Dior Sessions is a must-have
for Dior fans, fashion aficionados, and stylish men everywhere.
In September 2020, Kim Jones was named head of Fendi s couture and
womenswear, marking a new era for the Italian brand. This
publication examines Jones s relationship to the legendary
Bloomsbury Set: the early twentieth-century community of British
writers, intellectuals, and artists, including Virginia Woolf,
Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, who inspired the collection and his
creative process. Enriched by ethereal photographs by Nikolai von
Bismarck, this book spotlights the iconic landmarks of the
Bloomsbury Set and Fendi. Beginning with Charleston House, Knole
House, and Sissinghurst Castle in England, then traveling to the
set of haute couture in Paris, the volume comes full circle at Rome
s Villa Medici and Villa Borghese where the histories of Fendi and
the Bloomsbury Set meet. Diverse photographic methods such as
Polaroid, traditional film, and Super-8 film stills bring Jones s
creations to life, as well as reflect the Bloomsbury Set s
experimental techniques, while his eternal muses, including Christy
Turlington, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss, and Naomi
Campbell, conjure the poetry of the present. With letters, diary
entries, and excerpts from Bloomsbury members, this exquisite book
will appeal to aficionados of fashion, literature, and photography
