The Whimsical and Charming World Behind Dior x Otani's Workshop Collection
Count on Kim Jones to create something both outrageously adorable and chic, bringing a delightful and fashionable start to the new year
Dior is turning fashion into a fantastic playground, teaming up with Japanese artist Otani for a joyful collaboration that brings smiles to style, just in time for the coming Lunar New Year festivities.
This marks creative director Kim Jones' first collaboration with a contemporary artist since 2019. The star of the show? Tanilla, a ceramic green reptilian mascot with an infectious grin, dreamt up by the talented contemporary sculptor.
Tanilla isn't shy about stealing the spotlight. You'll find this cheeky creature splashed across refined, oversized sweaters, bomber jackets, and breezy short-sleeved T-shirts. But it doesn't stop there, Tanilla even struts its stuff on the new B33 tennis sneakers and pops up on an array of handheld accessories.
Otani's crafty creation doesn't just look good, it speaks the language of Dior, echoing classic elements like the Dior Oblique Toile in bold burgundy and pink. The traditional Dior lettering gets a playful makeover, and you'll spot the "Christian Dior Couture" tag jazzing up slouchy trousers.
Known for blending traditional techniques with a contemporary twist, Otani Workshop brings an extra layer of fun to the fashion scene. Get ready to dive into this fanciful world when Dior's Otani Workshop collection hits boutiques and online from 4th January 2024 onwards – a date that promises to mark the beginning of a joyous, art-infused fashion escapade!
