the Collection

The Fall Winter 2017 Show of Dior was the height of Kris van Assche’s period as the creative director. The collaboration between the house and Dan Witz, which featured Menswear pieces glanced by extraordinary paintings by Witz, resulted in some of the craziest Dior pieces of the last decade. 

Seeing a Dan Witz painting fascinates the viewer with it’s level of detail. It is hard to tell that these hyperreal paintings are just done by hand rather than photographed. The street artist’s deft hand is perfectly seen at work in his Mosh Pit series, which shows excessive concert-goers in different stages of rowdiness. The depth and color that Witz has applied to these paintings are astounding, as good as the raw pictures.
