Dior Homme RTW SS16: Paris Fashion Week
At Dior Homme’s ready-to-wear runway presentation for Spring/Summer 2016 in Paris this week, Kris Van Assche served an orderly display of tuxedos, tailcoats and flannel suits. “In all disorder, a secret order,” is how Van Assche called this collection.

Backstage at Dries Van Noten Men’s RTW SS16
Color and print were strongly featured at Dries van Noten’s Men SS16 show in Paris this week: garments embellished with prints of Marilyn Monroe in her heyday screamed for attention, but this was, otherwise, a clean and mature collection of loose silhouettes, liberally-fitting shirts, high-waist pants, mesh tank tops and suspenders.
