Remaking the ‘Bar’ jacket for Dior Men's Winter 2022-2023

Learn how the iconic ‘Bar’ jacket - the eternal emblem of Dior femininity since the founding couturier introduced it to the world as part of his New Look debut in 1947 - has been radically reimagined for the Dior Men Winter 2022-2023 collection by Kim Jones. A visit to the atelier reveals how the canvas layer that traditionally and invisibly structures the front of men’s jackets has been utilized to shape the style’s distinctive suppressed waist and flaring peplums through the architectural employing of darts and pleats. By using predominantly dry fabrics in weaves such as houndstooth and Prince of Wales check - both possessing a significant Dior pedigree - the authentic appropriation for menswear is assured. #DIOR #DiorWinter22
