The Dior Men’s artistic director pays tribute to Charleston Lewes, ballet dancers Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, and his uncle, Colin Jones.

“I visited for the first time when I was 14 years old. As I was a creative child and had a great interest in authors, I was immediately fascinated by this place, which was obviously like no other,” the designer said in an interview.The performance is a reimagination of Vaslav Nijinsky’s iconic ballet numbers “The Rite of Spring” and “The Afternoon of a Faun.

Nureyev’s Paris apartment on 23 Quai Voltaire was filled with treasures, including textiles and clothing. The collaboration between Fonteyn and Nureyev hits home for the designer, who has made partnering with other creatives a necessity for his work. It’s partly why he loves the Bloomsbury Group, whose lives intertwined, personally and professionally. He has collected many first edition books and other memorabilia related to the group.

“For me, collaborations have always been something positive. A lot of people are against collaborations, but I think this kind of thinking is very narrow-minded, people want to see new stuff and you can’t do new stuff if you don’t work with new people,” he added.When he calls a fellow creative for a collaboration, he’s not calling them for their work, but rather for their “innovative vision,” where they contribute more as a designer than artist, Jones said.
