Editor’s Notes: Dior's Pre-Fall collection brings Shawn Stüssy's ’60s surfer vibe to 2020 couture with floral prints, skull motifs, and wavy graphics. The much-buzzed-about collaboration was Stüssy’s debut as an artist and announced his return to the fashion world after being mostly absent since departing his eponymous brand in 1996.
After the collection was shown in Miami last year, artistic director Kim Jones told Highsnobiety how he feels streetwear's most illustrious tastemakers have been woven into the canon of U.S. design. "Doing our first show in America – to me, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, and Shawn Stussy are the most important American designers, along with James [Jebbia] at Supreme," he said.
Take a more detailed look at the products, including a "DIOR WORLDWIDE" Saddle bag (accented with a silver zombie bee), ties, neckerchiefs, and the B23 hightop in gallery below.
