Description
Model History:
Between 2000 and 2007, Hedi Slimane radically transformed the image of Dior Homme, imposing an elongated, narrow, androgynous silhouette that became emblematic of men’s fashion in the early 2000s. This suit is in keeping with this aesthetic, with a slim fit, fine lapels and a formal purity pushed to the extreme. Worn by numerous figures from the music and art scenes, creations from this era have become highly sought-after collector’s items, testifying to a pivotal period in the history of contemporary tailoring.
Exterior Details:
The jacket features a lightweight construction with soft shoulder, two front buttons, narrow notched lapels and a welt chest pocket. Two flap pockets complete the front, while the sleeves are finished with four-button cuffs. Matching pants feature a classic waistband, a slim straight cut, pronounced pleats and a concealed closure. Smooth, matte black wool ensures a fluid, structured fall without shine. The ensemble exudes an elegant sobriety, true to the rigorous, graphic spirit of the Slimane period.
Interior Details:
Fully lined, the jacket features several discreet interior pockets, including a patch pocket on the right-hand side with grey “Dior” label. The black satin lining is neatly and evenly finished, reinforced by a visible white saddle stitch on the inner edges. The sober, well-constructed interior reflects the meticulous workmanship typical of Dior Homme productions of the period.
Product Condition:
The suit is in excellent condition, with no snags, stains or noticeable signs of wear. The fabric retains its hold and sheen, the seams are intact, and the finishes have not been altered in any way. It has been carefully preserved, with no trace of distortion or sagging at the shoulders or waist.
Care instructions:
Dry-clean only, preferably by a professional who specializes in tailoring. Avoid fine hangers to preserve jacket shape. Store away from light and moisture. Light brushing with steam will refresh the wool without weakening it.
