Bella Hadid and Kate Moss demonstrated the art of borrowing from the boys at Kim Jones’ debut pre-fall cruise show for Dior yesterday.

The supermodels were among the first to wear looks before they even graced the runway – giving their own sartorial spin on ‘Dior 2.0’.

In a rare opportunity to watch from the sidelines, Hadid wore the first look of the collection – a sports luxe turtleneck lengthened in order for her to wear it as a mini dress.

To give the ensemble street style-worthy status, the 22-year-old threw on Mathew Williams accessories and donned chunky ‘dad’ trainers.

Meanwhile, front row regular Kate Moss gave a glimpse of her winter-ready wardrobe in an oversized houndstooth trench and co-ordinating trousers with nothing but a sheer shirt to finish.

But the A-list duo weren’t the only industry names to make the starry guest list with David Beckham, ASAP Rocky and Ezra Miller also taking to the FROW.

The show marked the first Dior men’s cruise collection and newly-appointed Kim Jones chose the capital to pay homage to Japanese culture.

Models took to the laser-lit runway decked in sci fi-inspired uniform with ultra-modern tailoring, cherry blossom-emblazoned suits and iridescent puffer jackets featuring in the line-up.

Half-slung metal saddle bags and a robot-sprawled interpretation of Dior’s logo also helped to create the “hypermodern reality of Japanese culture today”.

To really push this vision, Jones also enlisted the help of Japanese illustrator and sculptor Hajime Sorayama to create a 12-metre-high female robot figure which stood tall in the centre of the catwalk.

Despite the futuristic feel, it’s interesting to note that Jones flicked through the depths of the brand’s archives for inspiration – sighting Christian Dior’s historic influence.

He told WWD, “We have references to Japanese design, we have some kimono styles in the collection, but they were designed by Mr. Dior in the 1950s.”

“I think it’s respecting where you’re showing, and I don’t think it’s a negative. I think if you love somewhere, celebrate it.”
