East meets West in the sacai x Dior collection, a creative collaboration between the two fashion powerhouses. The new collection of fashion accessories was catalyzed by the long-time friendship between Kim Jones, Dior's Artistic Director, and Chitose Abe, the fashion designer and founder of sacai. The sacai x Dior collection brings these two creatives together with Dior designs on sacai fabrics.
The sacai x Dior collection consists of 57 collaboratively designed pieces. The pieces range from footwear to jewelry to clothing. Some key pieces from the sacai x Dior collection are the Saddle universe bags, which combine leather and nylon in a fashion-forward package, and the Japanese denim jacket, which fuses Dior branding with one of sacai's signature materials. The collection will launch in November 2021.
