Dior and sacai present their first collaboration with a project described as a “creative conversation between two designers, two heritages and two cultures”.
This new capsule collection consists of 57 items each reflecting the two philosophies of the players involved.

Among ready-to-wear, bags and accessories, the collection is wide and varied, characterized by a palette based on black and white, but there are also floral graphics, the use of Japanese denim to emphasize the Japanese aesthetic of the brand founded by Chitose Abe.
A special logo has also been created for the occasion to underline the co-branding.

About this new collaboration Kim Jones told WWD: “sacai is one of my first stops when I go to Japan. I’ve always loved [Chitose Abe] and I just think she’s one of the coolest women in the world. And we talked about doing this since I was at Vuitton, and then it finally happened. I love Japan. I haven’t been for over a year now, which is the longest in 20 years I haven’t been. I normally go at least six times a year. I always work on things that I miss doing in real life and seeing. It’s just a really key mix between what Dior and sac is, and it was a way of having a conversation through the pandemic”.

Abe then added, also to WWD: “Dior is a very respected heritage brand which I’ve admired ever since I decided to become a designer, so its a huge honour. It’s also a brand that has historically demonstrated the history of innovation, but I’m sure that for a Maison like this, the decision to add another brand name to its own is not take lightly. Doing so shows that it is committed to always being innovative and challenging”.

The capsule collection between Dior and sacai will be released from November 2021.
