While looking at Kris van Assche’s second Spring/Summer collection for Dior Homme, one can't help but notice the definitive hipster-streetwear aesthetic in play here. Black and white? Check.

These objects of ocular desire are limited to 500 pieces per color and will be available at the Dior Homme boutique shortly. By the way, the “Dior Long” soundtrack for the S/S 2009 runway show (which can be viewed on the Dior Homme website) was composed and performed by Justice. Actually, it's a special remix of parts one and two of their song “Planisphere”.
