Christian Dior has teamed up with German artist Anselm Reyle for a colorful capsule collection.
The fashion range features vibrant handbags, bracelets, key rings, and nail polishes. The pieces are adorned with the neon colors Reyle famously works with, making them much more modern than anything we’ve seen from Dior before. But the fashion house’s deputy general manager Delphine Arnault insists they’re a natural fit for her brand.
“Mr. Dior in his time was fascinated by artists like René Gruau and Christian Berard,” she explained. In fact, one of Christian Dior’s earliest projects was the opening of an art gallery in 1928. “Art is part of the DNA of Dior.“
The collaboration is a significant pairing, as Reyle has never lent his designs to a fashion range before. That exclusivity, and the range’s limited edition status, should see it become a big seller when it goes on sale in early December. The artsy collection will be available from a pop-up store in Miami during Florida’s Art Basel event, although there’s talk it’ll be rolled out to other Dior stores after that.
Following the dismissal of John Galliano earlier this year, the new artistic collection seems well times. I think we were all craving something new and creative from the label. Are you excited to see Dior showing a more flamboyant and colorful side?
