]]>Amoako Baofo is the first artist-in-residence at Miami’s Rubell Museum. The Ghanaian painter creates textural portraits of Black subjects, offering a unique perspective of the Black gaze. His collection “drowns the viewer in the shimmering light of the Black gaze, which we so rarely see in fashion or the art world.”
Dior’s artistic director Kim Jones recently collaborated with Baofo for his pre-fall Dior Men collection.
“I knew Amoako’s work, but I hadn’t seen it in real life before,” Jones told Vogue. “And when I did, I could just see it turning into things in front of my eyes.”
The collection features prints and textiles from Boafo’s paintings. They have been transferred to embroidered shirts and textured knitwear. Seeing the collection worn is like watching art in motion. It is a celebration of Dior’s international brand and culture.
“It was the time for me to celebrate an African artist like we have American artists, or Japanese artists,” Jones explained. “And Dior is a truly global brand. I wondered, what would Mr Dior be looking at now?”
You can view the collection on the Dior website.

]]>The exhibition is so much more than a few dresses being shoved on display. There will be original pencil sketches, pop-culture nods and garments designed for and worn by worldwide celebrities including Rihanna and Princess Margaret.
The whole exhibition has been curated and designed to create the feeling of glamour and artistry which is essential to Dior’s vision.
“The influence of Christian Dior’s design was all-pervasive and helped o define an era”, said Oriole Cullen, the V&A’s fashion curator. “In their own individual ways, each of the house’s successive artistic directors have referenced and reinterpreted Dior’s own designs and continued the legacy of the founder, ensuring that the House of Christian Dior is at the forefront of fashion today.”
Even if you’re not super into fashion, if you are in London between February 2 and July 15, the stunning exhibition is absolutely worth checking out. Tickets will cost £20 ($26).
