Like an ode to stretching the limits of performance and inventiveness, Kim Jones has woven a fascinating creative dialogue with Christian Dior ambassador and guest designer Lewis Hamilton, dreaming up a capsule dedicated to snow sports.
Inspired by the powerful and exhilarating universe of the Seven-Time Formula 1 World Champion, this exceptional line promises an audacious winter look. Fusing couture spirit and the essence of practicality, the pieces balance outdoor culture with the finesse of luxury, and functionality with virtuosity.
“Working with Kim and the talented team at Dior has been a dream, and I was honored when Kim asked if I’d like to do this with him. Our values and ideas are aligned, making it easy to bring to life a creative collection infused with our shared experiences. Focusing on conscious choices and pushing boundaries with each piece, while merging inspiration from my roots in Africa—drawing from their fabrics and belief in natural materials, as well as vibrant colors and powerful energy—has been so inspiring. I hope people everywhere feel good in these garments we designed so carefully,” said Lewis Hamilton.
The Dior x Lewis Hamilton capsule is all about celebrating winter sports, seamlessly combining high-performance outdoor gear with Dior’s luxurious touch. The collection features everything from ready-to-wear pieces to footwear and accessories, all crafted with sustainability in mind. Organic and recycled materials take center stage, highlighting the commitment to eco-friendly fashion. Think stylish, voluminous silhouettes that allow for easy movement in technical skiwear, inspired by Japanese craftsmanship from Descente, and unique fabrics from Burkina Faso, as well as high-tech protective gear from Sweden, custom snowboards by Swiss Factory 9, and the Dior zipped backpack.
