It has been a while I got the latest catalogue with upcoming capsule from Dior x Stone Island, and definitely need to write about it.
As
I wrote both on cross promotion and potential of catalogues in luxury fashion which I believe is not fully utilized,
and because my platform 2jour-stylist.com slightly incorporates the concept of cataloging,
I would like to share my thoughts on this catalogue. Unlike the usual catalogues Dior makes (as mentioned in the article above), this one is close to perfection. Could it be even more perfect? Well, I am a gap spotter and idea generator, so…😂:)
Anyway, let’s focus on perfect. This catalogue is good, and here is why.
