Kim Jones has outdone himself again. In terms of collection everything has been wonderful, but if we have to talk about the set-design<\/em> we have not yet found the word that describes it.<\/h3>\n

\"Dior<\/p>\n

Jones, Dior’s men’s art director, hired Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama (@hajimesorayama_official<\/a>)<\/strong> to create a real show in which everything revolved around an 11-meter-high robotic sculpture. A celebration of the film “Metropolis” – in Kim’s words – which pays tribute to the host city.<\/p>\n

The female figure stands on a 12-meter-high base, weighs 9,150 kg, and it took a team of 16 to assemble her aluminum limbs, which were later sprayed with silver mirror paint.<\/p>\n

The sculpture is inspired by a series of illustrations by Sorayama from the 1980s. The Japanese artist’s influence is also evident in some of the details of the collection: from the belt buckles (by Matthew Williams<\/strong> of Alyx<\/strong>) to Yoon Ahn<\/strong>‘s robotic aesthetic jewellery, as well as a special edition of Sorayama Metals<\/strong>‘ Saddle Bag<\/em>, of which only 10 will be made.<\/p>\n
