Dior Homme Silver-Coated "Radioactive" Denim - S/S 2008

Dior Homme Silver-Coated "Radioactive" Denim 

by Kris Van Assche

S/S 2008

Under Kris Van Assche’s tenure, Dior Homme evolved into a dialogue between the house’s sharp tailoring legacy and Van Assche’s own minimalist sensibilities. Known for his background in menswear and experience under Hedi Slimane, Van Assche softened Dior Homme’s iconic slim silhouette, introducing fluid tailoring and a more introspective edge. His collections often juxtaposed formal structures with casual elements, bridging traditional menswear with contemporary ease.

A standout piece from Kris Van Assche’s tenure at Dior Homme, these slim-fit jeans feature an eye-catching metallic silver wax coating and the brand’s signature clawmark distressing.

Details include a mid-rise waist, classic five-pocket styling, and tonal stitching, with subtle whiskering and creasing adding texture to the metallic finish. The silver coating remains vibrant and intact, with minor wear consistent with age and handling, giving the piece additional character. This pair has been professionally hemmed.
