Dior menswear designer Kris Van Assche just wants to rave. For his fall 2017 show at Paris Fashion Week: Men’s, he went full hard-core, or “HarDior,” which the phrase that was emblazoned on numerous looks. In addition to a new print featuring men in a mosh pit with buzz-cuts and mow-hawks, Van Assche also referenced vintage punk styles with safety pins, skinny ties, and plaid suits. In the front row sat contemporary rock stars and non-conformists like A$AP Rocky, Rami Malek, and Boy George, but the question remains: Is HarDior the new Normcore? See every detail backstage, here.
