Luxury menswear label Dior Homme has put out soft, refined looks the last several seasons, but its collection for Fall/Winter 2012 is completely the opposite. Called “A Soldier on My Own” by designer Kris Van Assche, the line features 47 new looks that stay within the lines of a largely olive green palette, laying the foundation for a military-esque theme. The recently-released film that was inspired by the line, though, serves as an elegant complement to the season’s uniform-inspired offerings.
The color palette revolves around a shade that Van Assche calls officer’s green, but also includes khaki, charcoal, and beige. Aside from the dark colors, the line sports other military references, such as the paper boy caps and aviator sunglasses that are added to almost every look. While the accessories add a mysteriousness to the models, they also solidify the theme of a World War II era to the presentation.
