Diluar ekspektasi para pencintanya, desainer Kim Jones mengejutkan kembali pencintanya dengan kolaborasi berkelanjutan dengan seniman, desainer sekaligus peselancar Shawn Stussy. Merayakan spirit ceria dan cerahnya koleksi busana pria Dior untuk Fall 2020 yang melibatkan seniman Shawn Stussy di kota Miami, rumah mode Dior meluncurkan untuk pertama kalinya koleksi eksklusif berupa surfboard. Papan selancar ini tidak lain adalah hasil kolaborasi unik antara desainer fashion Kim Jones dengan Shawn Stussy.
“Shawn Stussy is one of my great heroes. He started out as a surfer, making his own boards and painted his name on them. It was quite natural for me to ask him to work together on the very first Dior surfboard that it’s quite amazing!” Kim jones, Artistic Director of Dior men’s collections.

Dior Surfboard (Back and front)
Satu sisi dari papan peselancar ini didekorasi secara minimal dan elegan yaitu hanya menampilkan grafis signature ikon logo Dior oleh Shawn Stussy dalam skala masif. Tidak ketinggalan simbol lebah yang dirancang sangat detil oleh Shawn Stussy.
Kontras dengan sisi minimal dekorasi, sisi satunya dipenuhi dengan kolase grafis kata-kata Dior (sama persis dengan koleksi di Men’s Fall 2020) yang dialurkan sepanjang papan seolah menari dilaut. Kombinasi warna abu-abu dari grafis kata-kata dan warna dasar biru es mencerminkan pembaruan kode-kode dari rumah mode Dior.

Detail
“For Dior, I wanted to create a streamlined board with elongated curves and subtle house colors, that seems to dance on the ocean”, said Shawn Stussy.
Papan peselancar diproduksi khusus di bengkel UWL di La Rochelle, Prancis dimana setiap papan membutuhkan waktu pekerjaan lebih dari 72 jam. Sebuah koleksi yang layak bagi kolektor maupun peselancar.
