DECADES AGO, Monsieur Dior tripped on a “lucky star” – a literal object found on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Instead of seeing red, the designer, who was a believer of astrology, saw it as kismet: a sign that convinced him his destiny was to start his own haute couture house. While commonplace, a symbol appreciated by many and has acted as a muse for countless brands, the star made a mark in fashion history then – as the impetus that birthed the legendary fashion house. Ensued by the serendipitous encounter, Dior affixed the star in its design code – showcasing the symbol through the details of seasonal collections.
In celebration of its 75th anniversary, the luxury House paid tribute to the literal superstar in the Dior lore in its Fall 2023 Menswear collection.
