J BALVIN TURNS OUT FOR DIOR’S 19000 BLOOMS AT PARIS FASHION SHOW

Paris Fashion Week show was an homage to late Duncan Grant, British painter, who died in 1978.

Almost as many famous faces as flowers were there. David Beckham and son Cruz, Naomi Campbell, J Balvin, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were among the starry Dior front row staring out across the petals and tufts of grass.

Kim Jones recreated Grant’s universe by not just evoking his masterpieces, but by creating the actual garments he wore while working — such as his straw gardening hat reimagined as a pergola fused on baseball cap, fashioned by Stephen Jones the milliner. Grant’s signature suits were also a key theme, yet reinvented in Jones’ style with clever fashion forward twists.
