Exclusive Interview With Dior Homme Chris Van Nash

Mr. Addie has never designed a man's suit. Without any comparison, the design of Addie's previous years is undoubtedly an unprecedented work.

Time has proved that for Chris, choosing the opposite way from Addie is a wise choice.

However, he was not satisfied with it.

"On the first day of entering the Dior gate, I chose to get to know the history of Dior, the great gentleman.

In fact, the inheritance from him is not exactly the design concept, because he only designed the ladies' clothes.

I studied his interpretation of the word "elegance".

Chris said.

"What kind of men's clothing will Mr. Chris do?" this is a question that Chris has been thinking from time to time.

"Mr. Welsh likes to use Prince Welsh's grid in women's clothing, and he especially likes to make his own suit.

If he designs men's clothing, these two elements are indispensable.

These are all Chris's conjectures.

In recent seasons, Chris began to focus on Mr. Dior's personal life and preferences -- lily of the valley, numbers, constellations, letters, and he indulged in these trivial but interesting details.

"In the 2014 winter series, I used the lily of the valley and the rose element -- this is Mr. Dior's favorite flower.

On the accessories, I picked out some figures: 8 is Mr. Dior's lucky number and 30 is the lucky number.

The number is Montaigne street, and 47 represents the brand that Mr. Dior founded in 1947.

Come one after another.

This summer series, inspired by a letter written by Mr. Dior in 1950s, carried out a space-time dialogue with costumes.

Under the guidance of exquisite cutting and fine fabrics, these interesting elements played a 42 role.

Chris said, "I have great respect for the United States and Mr. Dior's views on modernity.

That grace naturally influenced me.

I am very strict in writing, but I can feel the romance and gentleness in Mr. Dior's design.

In this winter series, Chris still adhered to the classic and modern collision docking. In this series of romance called "romance between day and night", there were many classic smoking suits and tuxedo suits.

"I don't want people to see these formal clothes and feel a sense of age.

I want to radically change the concept of everyone -- classic elegance, modern modernity.

So I invented and invented such a combination: high technology plus traditional exquisite tailoring.

This series represents the characteristics of men's elegance, and on the other hand, it has a strong sense of technology and a sense of movement. "

except

Chris has a wide range of interests.

In 2008, he became the new leader of Dior Homme for second years. The independent magazine "A Magazine" invited him to be the guest editor.

He published many photographic works in magazines, and the characters under the scenes are full of stories.

He was surprised to see that I took out this magazine.

"These pictures still look so romantic now."

"I hope to develop in other areas, such as photography or painting," he said as he read the magazine.

I hope to cooperate with A Magazine again.

I believe that this will be very different from seven years ago. "

For the first time in Beijing, he brought Hurts, an alternative electronic Orchestra, to help.

In this Guangzhou show, he brought the French musician Koudlam.

"On the Dior Homme show, I adapted his electronic music into a symphony version.

In my own brand show, I used the original electronic music.

He's my favorite musician recently. I recommend it to you. "

Chris said.
