Cascading capes and wisps of sheer chiffon billowed in the wind against the glorious backdrop of the LED-illuminated Great Pyramid of Giza as Dior Men Fall '23 collection landed in Cairo, Egypt. The collection opened with a series of utilitarian ensembles with space helmets in tow. First came ivory, shades of grey were beautifully interspersed with bright yellows after, followed by neutral gradients of brown and burnt orange that complemented the landscape and fiery sunset. Models donned cocooned outwear and transparent technical jacquard jackets as a form of protection against the elements. Others embraced Egypt's nature with fluid, organic pieces almost camouflaged with the surrounding sand. Each evoked the romanticism of this Dior explorer's voyage in the desert.
