Robert Pattinson is front and centre in Kim Jones’ latest spring 2023 menswear collection for Dior, and we love to see it. While a longtime friend of the house – the British actor has been the face of the Dior Homme fragrance since 2013 and he also appeared in the men’s campaigns for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 – Pattinson makes his return for Dior looking sort of dishevelled but only in the best possible way.
In fact, it’s giving us major Edward Cullen-meets-Bruce Wayne vibes, and we’re totally here for it.
The pre-collection ads all feature Pattinson looking incredibly serious but effortlessly stylish in a mix of soft business tailoring and sportswear designed by Kim Jones, set against brightly coloured backdrops. The collection, which will officially be unveiled next week, was photographed by Rafael Pavarotti, with art direction by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and styling by Melanie Ward and Ellie Grace Cumming.
Jones’ menswear collections for Dior are offered four times a year, falling in the spring, summer, autumn and winter. We know that Jones will be showing the pre-fall collection in December, set against the backdrop of the great Pyramids of Egypt; a show we’re eagerly awaiting for.
The Batman actor sports three different looks from Kim Jones’ Spring 2023 runway collection that also featured a surprise collaboration with Eli Russell Linnetz, designer of ERL. Pattinson is seen wearing Dior’s popular ‘Diorizon’ shoe, which will be arriving in two new models next season. His looks are then complemented with the ‘Hit The Road’ and Dior Lock’ shoulder bags featuring the “CD Diamond” pattern in “Dior Gray.”
