Paris Fashion Week: Dior Homme by David K Shields



"Ah-MAZE-ing" might come to mind when looking back at Kris van Assche's Dior Homme Spring 2014 collection held in a tennis stadium in Paris this week. The show was literally set amidst a mirrored maze creating visual juxtapositions and very handy front and back views of many garments. Belgian designer van Assche went solid on the colour palette; deep maroon to the fore, two blues; a cobalt and slate blue, and the traditional black provided simple viewing in a purposely not-so-simple viewing environment. Mirroring the, ahem, mirrored maze were rectangular patches in shades of blue and silver on suiting - largely summery short-sleeved shirts and shorts - whilst neoprene made an highly desirable appearance on sweats and tees. Black's man-about-town David K Shields was there to capture these images, see if you can spot him in a Where's Wally moment below. Next up Chanel...
