Shawn Stussy, the industry veteran has come forth to confirm a collaboration with Dior, a French luxury goods company. The French label’s Homme artistic director Kim Jones spoke to WWD and confirmed his role in setting up the new collab with Stussy.

Talking about the collaboration to WWD in Paris, Stussy said, <\/span>\u201cThere wasn\u2019t much luring.I was just in a good place in my adventure, and he\u2019s in a good place, and the stars just seemed to kind of line up. And if I\u2019m going to come out for a last hurrah, why not with Dior? That\u2019s the way I look at it. It\u2019s the very top of the top. I have nothing but respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Speaking about Stussy and his brand Jones explained,<\/span> \u201cI used to wear it head-to-toe all the time in my teens. It was something I was really, really, really obsessed by. I\u2019ve [still] got boxes of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me to work with someone like Shawn is a real honor. He\u2019s an artist, that\u2019s the thing. If you can work that line like that, and it\u2019s that memorable, it\u2019s like an artist. That\u2019s why I wanted to do it with him: he\u2019s made an iconic image with his hand,\u201d<\/span><\/i> he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The much awaited collection will be shown on December 3 across from the new Rubell Museum. Taking from the bold colors of Miami\u2019s historic Art Deco architecture, Jones and team colored in the black-and-white artwork that Stussy submitted for Pre-Fall 2020. The team outsourced a unique Japanese printing process to create heavily manipulated marble-like patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what intrigued me, is when he started talking about taking my kind of iconic artwork and putting it into these couture methods,\u201d<\/span><\/i> stated Stussy. He further claimed, <\/span>\u201cI have zero interest in going and printing some $40 T-shirts, but to do this was really an eye opener.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
