Dior Homme SS17: Interview With Kris Van Assèche | GQ | Style | Fashion |

Kris Van Assche, affectionately known as KVA to the fashion industry is the Belgian-born designer who has been responsible for leading Dior Homme over the past decade. Having honed his skills at the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts, it was in Paris that he obtained his first job with Yves Saint Laurent and the eponymous Hedi Slimane. From there he quite literally followed Slimane over to Dior, officially being announced as Artistic Director of the brand back in 2008. GQ caught up with KVA at the Tennis Club de Paris for their SS17 show this year - 49 looks inspired by “order and disorder”. He told GQ Fashion Director, Brad Homes, what is means to be a modern Dior man: "Dior knows" how to make a good suit. There was a lot of tailoring in this collection. 49 ways of being elegant - of deconstructing the suits, wearing it with jogging pants, without sleeves and with bun details. Its a play on the classical coat but in a new and contemporary way," he says. -- SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://gq.com.au/subscribe Visit GQ online: http://www.gq.com.au Follow GQ on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gqaustralia Follow GQ on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gqaustralia Follow GQ on Instagram: http://instagram.com/gqaustralia Follow GQ on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/gqaustralia/
