Kris Van Assche had big shoes to fill when he first joined Dior Homme. I adored the work Hedi Slimane did for Dior Homme and I wondered about Kris' ability to bridge the void left after the departure of Hedi but Kris Van Assche has gone from strength to strength season after season. I do find myself lusting after a few key pieces every season.
He shared with Details his 10 rules of style and some of them hit close to home. Here are some highlights:
"I don't really think I know a man who wouldn't look good in black. Black is always good. It's the basic." Black is my default choice. It hides stains, slims the silhouette, goes with everything - I could go on and on.
"My grandmother told me there are two ways of living: You can either survive or you can really make a life. There is eating and there is dining. She would always give that extra little effort, and I still believe that is important--to make things more beautiful makes all the difference." Someone important once told me to grab life by the balls and to focus on things that are in my control. It is one adage that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
