The latest Dior accessories line bears the 1967 Dior Oblique motif

As if Kim Jones’ debut Dior impressions weren’t enough, his Oblique Men’s accessories line provides even more fuel for Dior addicts. Originally introduced in 1967, the Parisian Maison’s iconic motif finds its way onto a slew of men’s bags and shoes as it undergoes a modern resurgence brought about by Jones.

Must-haves from the accessory line include the freshly-minted roller bag, which sees the print splattered all-over onto canvas and peeking through a mesh overlay. The reprised saddle bag also receives a conspicuous makeover as the oblique print is sprawled across the reimagined silhouette, while everyday staples like the backpack and clutch similarly underwent the logo-heavy treatment.

Last but certainly not least, the Dior Oblique canvas appears on both high- and low-top sneakers, combining Dior savoir-faire with couture details featuring emblematic motifs worked with microfibre transparency.
