For his new AW13 collection, Belgian fashion designer and artistic director for Dior Homme Kris Van Assche attempts once again to merge casual with formal style, by creating the collection Choose Life. Always interested in sports clothing, he mixes it with key menswear pieces, such as suit jackets and white shirts. Characterized by simple lines and minimal design, with a youthful yet sophisticated touch, his clothes adapt to the everyday life of a man dressing in style at all times, which is where Van Assche aims at.
The collection sticks to the usual color palette of black, gray, blue and brown, but what makes the clothes unique is the collage he creates as he literally joins two types of fabrics, such as the characteristic black jacket with the gray stripe in the middle that reminds us of a sweatshirt. The designer transforms classic pieces with the use of unusual fabrics, expressing the need for modern clothing which not only adapt with the current times but also know how to draw attention.
