Yeah I wish they'd kept the reference code format would've made things much easier. From what I've seen it looks like 09 was the last season to have it, I guess double digits didn't work for their coding so they blew it upYes I think they switched to that fabric tag for KVA's second season, his first one keeping the one that was used during hedi's tenure. Although I'm not 100% on that
AS a side note, if you're a Slimane head and are new to the forum, you may want to check out the official Celine thread, which has sorta become the general thread for discussing his work.Yeah I wish they'd kept the reference code format would've made things much easier.

Ah makes sense I was surprised I even got a response on this rlly old threadAS a side note, if you're a Slimane head and are new to the forum, you may want to check out the official Celine thread, which has sorta become the general thread for discussing his work.
How is sizing in relation to SLP, I remember you were 44 in SLP, are you 44 in Dior Homme as well? What is the difference between SLP/Celine Hedi jackets and current Dior Homme, is it modified old Hedi's model or Van Assche?I’m quite familiar with them. I was in Paris in 2023 and was checking out the latest suiting. I haven’t checked them out this year though. Any specific questions?
thanks a lot. Now there are only Classic and just Suit, no fitted.I went TTS, although Dior Homme gives the option for Court or Regular in terms of length and button placement. SLP does not have those two options IME, all regular.
The Classic Suit is the Hedi model. It has a more tapered body.
The Fitted Suit is a bit of an update from KVA, with a slightly shorter body and now not as boxy as KVA, i.e., KJ streamlined it a bit more. It is very nice.
You will need to have the pants tapered more although they're about slim right now; the seat always is too voluminous in my experience.
Quality is excellent. Fabric is beautiful as you'd expect.
SLP had a period of higher arm holes for the blazers and suit jackets, but that was probably 2013-2015 IIRC. I'm actually wearing one of those now. They hold up very well.
No, in EU, Dior in my city is just handbags and fragrances, and some logo-filled streetwear merch for men. I can either get a second hand one, or buy from the website.Interesting. Are you in the States? I see a few fitted models under the tailoring section of the webstore. I can give a quick rundown on the suiting by location that I’ve personally visited:
- Midtown Manhattan - best selection, can customize (MTM) fabrics, buttons, etc. But will still be based off a set construction. Only location with a lot of court sizes except Paris and Asia. Will have some avant garde stuff downstairs but upstairs is where the fittings happen. Very business-y
- SoHo - good selection, darker panoply or night out styles
- Miami - awesome tailor, my favorite, great suiting, as you might expect, lighter construction and shades.
- Las Vegas - been a while, much more limited, black, navy
- Paris - largest collection of off the rack suits, beautiful constructions and patterns, somehow my favorite. Will turn around the tailoring in a couple days if you have to leave for a flight etc
great thanks, will try to find a second hand oneYes, I don’t have the suits with me now (traveling), but can almost assure you that they are a touch wider than SLP suiting, 1-2 cms sounds right. SLP feels more constrictive in the shoulders and upper arms.
