Dior Homme SS08 Campaign



In strong contrast to the inherent boredom of the Versace mens campaign - featuring the unmistakably unimpressive Dr. McDreamy - no offence intended to Mr. Dempsey, he's sadly not model material - Karl Lagerfeld has shot a much more applaudable campaign for Dior Homme.



For me, it effectively reflects Kris Van Assche's debut collection which marks a return to the classical elegance of bygone Dior days.

Yes, the use of those Parisian doors harks back to old Dior 80's ads for sure.... I quite like it even though I'm not a fan of Lagerfeld's photography...

love how the trousers have higher waists and the shirts are so tightly fitted, nice to see a different kind of look than indie boys in long skinny shirts with long ties that make them look even taller!
