Alas it seems the time has come for Dior Homme to show what it has done without its renowned instigator of thinner-than-thin menswear, that is Monsieur Hedi Slimane. As we last reported Dior Homme's newly appointed predecessor is none other than Slimane's assistant with his own label, Kris Van Assche. At the recent Paris Fashion Week for Menswear Spring/Summer 2008, Van Assche did not list Dior Homme in the fashion weeks' schedule. Instead opted to have a "private viewing" for the selected buyers, media and "guests". But according to reports from several sources, the models pictured in Van Assche's debut collection for Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2008, are not the only ones nostalgic and rather glum-looking about Slimane's departure. Tim Blanks for mens style.com reported upon the collection's silhouettes as "interspersed with these indulgences were sober, sleek suits with a little peaked lapel".
Let's just hope for the future's sake of Dior Homme that the new designer is more than a "little peaked".
