Forum Members Review the ‘Swan-Song Energy’ Dior Men Fall 2025 Collection From Kim Jones

Day four of Menswear Paris Fashion Week and the highlight of the schedule was undoubtedly Dior Men. The show marked the first from Kim Jones, post exit from Fendi as womenswear creative director. As rumors continue to circulate regarding Jones’ future at Dior, the British designer staged his 27th collection as the creative force behind Dior Men. Guests (including Kate Moss and Gwendoline Christie) were ushered inside a vast structure erected at École Militaire. Models soon emerged down a vast white staircase, dressed in a collection inspired by the rich Christian Dior archives. Taking direct inspo from a Monsieur Dior couture collection from 1954, the monochromatic color palette recalls that of the iconic ‘New Look’ as Jones revisited archival elements such as opera coats and detachable sleeves.

Dior Men Fall 2025 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This collection is giving swan-song energy. Let’s hope that’s the case.” [LadyJunon]

“A travesty. An entire collection of missteps. The draped feminine pieces are abominable. The blazer with the inset lapels and the jacket with the bow and bib at the back are an abomination.” [Nimsay]

“Was almost too good to be true and felt like someone else created this for Kim Jones. Do we think this is his last one?” [proseccotabis]

“It is swan song, looked like funeral which I don’t mind in that instance: I especially liked sober minimalist Japanese silhouettes and some particular pieces. Overall his tenure was weak.” [Olaffo]

“Witnessed a funeral here.” [Grets]

“I think the embedding of very classic feminine Dior shapes into menswear is an interesting idea, but I find the execution here lackluster. It’s like looking at shadow images of old Dior in very basic menswear. This is a purely formalist design exercise.” [Norden]

“It could not be more commercial and inoffensive than this. We know what a black-and-white collection means. Farewell KJ.” [GivenchyAddict]
