Androgyny reached denim long ago, primarily with the advent of the skinny jean into punk rockers’ wardrobes. Flash forward 30 odd years or so, and we’ve now got a men’s line (Dior Homme) debuting a women’s denim collection, Petite Taille. As confusing as this might be, we should just thank Annie Hall, put our assumptions aside, and focus on the jeans: four skinny-cut pairs made of Japanese denim in indigo, light blue and black. Some sporting rips or pocket piercings, all of the jeans are engineered specifically for a woman’s body, but with the “Dior Homme spirit.” What exactly does that mean? We’d imagine you have to try a pair on to find out.
