Friday night, Dior Homme hosted a super star-studded event at Paris fashion week-favorite, Caviar Kaspia. The dinner helped celebrate the latest runway show, but also the launch of the new Dior Homme Eau de Toilette fragrance. Hosts of the evening were Dior men’s artistic director Kim Jones and the face of Dior Men, Robert Pattinson.
"I m very excited about tonight, it was an amazing show, I love Kim and he always does a great party!" said Pattinson upon arrival, dressed in a Dior leather jacket paired with the new Air Jordan I High OG Dior sneakers from the men s fall 2020 show and a black cap.
After a quick stop for the photographers in the entrance of the restaurant, attendees gathered upstairs one by one and toasted to the just-unveiled collection, which paid homage to Jones s late friend, the fashion icon Judy Blame.
"He was one of the people who really inspired me to get into jewelry so, in a way, it s a tribute to my hero, and with Kim s direction we captured it in a very elegant way," said Yoon Ahn, who designed the jewelry for the show.
For actress Christina Ricci, the show was her favorite since Jones took the helm; she described it as "very sentimental and nostalgic." Kate Moss, who was accompanied by her daughter Lila Grace, and soon joined by Courtney Love, was enthusiastic at dinner, happy to be supporting Jones.
Other guests included Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid, Suki Waterhouse, Adwoa Aboah, Noomi Rapace, Diplo, Fai Khadra, Lukas Sabbat, Jordan Barrett, Honey Dijon, and Miss Fame, along with Dior Perfume creator François Demachy. Also there were the Beckhams and their son Brooklyn, who made a late appearance. Everyone congregated over cocktails at the bar.
It was then time to take seats at the large tables laid with black arums, pink roses and hand-calligraphed place cards by Nicolas Ouchenir, where king crab salad and Norwegian smoked salmon were served before the main course of Kaspia s legendary baked potatoes topped with Imperial Baeri caviar.
On the walls were black-and-white portraits of Pattinson and video screens that unveiled the new Dior HMen film campaign directed by French duo The Blaze, portraying Pattinson in intimate shots of strength and charm. "I knew I wanted to do something that was about body and physicality," commented Pattinson, who has been the fragrance s face since 2013. "The way The Blaze shoot really conveys the motional context through physicality, whether it s dancing or whether it s just how they shoot the body. And so, I wanted to do something about skin, which I ve never really done before," he added.
The new Dior Men, composed by Demachy, is a reinvention of its very first version created in 2005, with a new intensely woody scent, capturing the essence of both masculinity and sensuality. As for how to wear it, according to Pattinson: "you spray a little cloud in front of you and you just wiggle around in it. That s actually how I do it. There s nothing more exciting!" he said laughing.
Around midnight, Kaspia s staff swiftly removed all the tables and chairs as the dinner turned into a wild dance party with vibrant DJ sets by iconic Neneh Cherry and Robyn. Everyone stood up and danced as new guests arrived and lit up the dance floor until late at night.
