Kim Jones’ spring menswear show for Dior had all the makings of another fashion blockbuster: a spectacular set filled with original art works, and a front row stacked with celebrities including Bad Bunny, Robert Pattinson and members of the K-pop band Tomorrow x Together.
The two men have a lot in common. The 83-year-old artist’s home on the outskirts of Calitzdorp, a small town in the remote Klein Karoo region of South Africa, is filled with a cornucopia of objects, captured by photographer Pieter Hugo in a booklet distributed to guests at the show.“I love how he lives,” enthused Jones, who made the six-hour journey by car from Cape Town. He’s particularly fond of Nel’s sculptures of cats, which were blown up to gigantic proportions on the runway.
“It’s very delightful and wonderful to see what he has done,” Nel said backstage before the show. “My work is my work, and he has taken it and made another work, so I think that’s very exciting.”
