French luxury label Dior as led by Kim Jones expands on its spring 2020 collaborative effort with designer Daniel Arsham with the reveal of limited edition collection of sculpted items paying tribute to the label’s storied history.
Describing the effort, Dior press reads, “For his summer 2020 fashion show, Kim Jones, the artistic director of Dior men’s collections, invited Daniel Arsham to create scenography featuring fascinating monolithic sculptures spelling out the word ‘D.I.O.R.’ A true ‘archaeologist of the future,’ the New York-based American artist has built his work at the intersection of disciplines, initiating captivating dialogues between architecture and design, history and contemporary art.”
Titled “Future Relics,” the capsule includes a white sculpted version of the word Dior and Je Suis Couturier, a book published in 1951 by label founder Christian Dior. Reflecting Arsham’s prior efforts with the label, both items are detailed with eroded surfaces revealing quartz crystals. This collaboration marks the first time Dior has created collectible objects.
Produced by Studio Arsham in New York, each piece is numbered and offered in limited quantities. Priced at $9,500 for the eroded Dior letters and book, each item will be packed in a wooden crate detailed with the Dior logo along with an hourglass.
