RUNWAY: Dior Homme FW17

What is "HarDior"? Dior Homme's Kris Van Assche said it's the marriage of sport, street and tailoring. You can see this clearly in the mountaineering accessories seen on suits, which were roomier, allowing for more arm movement. One cannot look climb a mountain in a Dior Homme suit if one's arms do not have full range of motion. Elsewhere, the label, like virtually every label showing this coming season, tried to reconcile tailoring with what they hope or expect men want to wear, either at their corporate jobs, such as the ones at LVMH, or what similar men who work for the Facebook's of the world would wear should they need or want to dress up. The result here was hit or miss. The supercool sneakers did not work with the looser fit suits, some having reflective bands on the side like trackpants, while the more glam and super-luxe looks like a leather trench or sleeveless fur coat got it right for its celebration of excess.
