Paris Fashion Week Men's Spring/Summer 2021: Dior, Vuitton, and Anderson

Kim Jones collaborated with rapper Travis Scott for Dior Men's SS21, integrating Scott's Texas childhood memories with Christian Dior's gardens. Scott, a Gen Z icon and father to Kylie Jenner's child, co-created the collection, featuring cactus and cow skull motifs in pink, green, and brown hues. Virgil Abloh presented a complex Louis Vuitton collection with a short film 'Amen Break,' emphasizing Black cultural influence, gender diversity, and syncretism between Western, Asian, and Black cultures. The collection used chess as a theme, with pieces evoking queen, knights, and pawns in gray and black, contrasted with neon rave colors. Both Dior and Vuitton are part of LVMH, led by Bernard Arnault, whose net worth rose from $76 billion in March 2020 to $186.3 billion, driven by LVMH's 77% stock increase and 32% sales growth in China in Q1 2021. J.W. Anderson presented 33 outfits for his eponymous label, photographed by Jurgen Teller in casual settings, referencing cottagecore and Harry Styles' viral cardigan. For Loewe, Anderson collaborated with David Sims and painter Florian Krewer, focusing on post-pandemic rave culture and youthful awkwardness.
