col laboration for a luggage col lection

Rimowa and Kim Jones, Dior s Creative Director of Menswear, who share the same passion for travel and mobility, pooled their talents to create an exceptional capsule collection. Sleek and graphic, the Dior and Rimowa luggage collec- tion was partly unveiled at the Summer 2020 show, before being previewed and then officially launched at Dior s new Champs-Élysées boutique in the fall. The launch was spectacularly staged under a luminous celes- tial dome. Carrying the promise of new horizons, clouds floated across the installation creating a captivating play of reflections that highlighted a helicopter specially cus- tomized for the event in Rimowa s signature gray. The cockpit interior and seats were upholstered in Dior s emblematic Oblique pattern, designed by Marc Bohan in 1967. After previews at a number of dedicated Dior loca- tions in Beijing, Miami, Dubai, Hong Kong, Paris and London, the collection was launched in early 2020 in all Dior stores worldwide. The collection design is minimalist and features an inno- vative anodizing process that allows graded pigments to be integrated into the aluminum core. Carry-ons come in silver, matte black and graded blue overlaid with the Dior Oblique pattern, for a unique travel experience. A Christian Dior -emblazoned elastic strap adds the finish- ing touch. An aluminum trunk and hand case inspired by a Rimowa model from the early 1990s, with a remova- ble cross-body strap also feature the Dior Oblique print. The collection is rounded out by the stylish Personal clutch perfect for keeping one s belongings handy in blue, black, silver or pink aluminum, and a special-order champagne case featuring an elegant, functional design, including a gray crocodile-leather handle. These exclusive pieces are bound to inspire wanderlust.

Combining their expertise, Rimowa, Dior and Kim Jones

have created an exceptional capsule collection that

celebrates travel and mobility.
