Meet Dior Homme's Artistic Director ...

Kris Assche's Company Bio ...

Balancing a nostalgic historical sense with radical modernism, Kris Van Assche has created a distinctive, refined world of nonchalant elegance.

Van Assche's work is characterized by attention to detail, a strong feel for ritual and the exacting depiction of a chic that evokes "days gone by". His designs arise from a sophisticated approach that breaks away from the uniformization of sportswear.

Kris Van Assche was born in Belgium in 1976. Shortly after graduating from the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts, he moved to Paris in 1998. After working with Hedi Slimane at Yves Saint Laurent and then for Dior Homme, he began to show his original creations in January 2005.

Today he heads his own label, KRIS VAN ASSCHE, and artistic director for Dior Homme since april 2007.

Impelled by a vision of the man who takes the time to "dress up", Kris Van Assche has embarked on an esthetic quest, pursuing a new masculinity infused with poetry and authenticity.

These are part of the Dior Spring/Summer 09 collection. The black leather contrast is great with the white liner when folded over. These are easily over $300. Haven't found a purchase power link yet but this isn't the end...
