At Dior
I really loved the idea of the sheer jackets at Dior. With the transparency of the jackets it would have been interesting to play with contrast colors for the layering pieces. At least that is what I would do if/when I buy this jacket.

post a commentThis reminds me of the traditional formal Filipino sheer dress shirts.
Hmmmm? I like the idea...I just probably wouldn't wear it. It does look pretty cool, and if I would've been attending that fashion show I definitely would've been wowed! The idea is really creative!
check out my trendy blog!

I don't think I've ever seen sheer jackets for men before. I quite like it.

Kris Van Assche volvio a hacer un excelente trabajo chez Dior!!
marquisdelannes.blogspot.com
Transparency is something I saw on last years shows as well, particularly at Kilgour in Paris (the Savile Row tailor), I guess Dior picked up on it too!
A fashion statement crying out for rebuttal.
I just can't see many men flocking to this trend. I suppose a sheer jacket is more forgiving than the sheer shirts that have appeared on the runways. At least you won't feel like you have to wax your chest.
an olden idea...i have a shady one from rick owens, two seasons ago...and one from 80's CDG...buy one from dior???i don't think so!!!!!
The layering must be perfect underneath. No wrinkles allowed.
i think this model looks cute, but there are not a lot of people who could wear this jacket... much too revealing, and if not done right it will just look tacky
Yeah you're right Rylan. Who's the designer of this dress? Maybe he/ she is a Filipino.
I would layer too! Love sheer over stripes and other subtle patterns & colours...
Gorgeous jacket!
I Concur!
The Swedish brand Acne has already made a version of this, and according to me it's a lot better.
It would be quite fun to come up with different outfits with this jacket
ack. no to color beneath, but agreed on loving the layering. something rick owens has done beautifully for years. if you have the means to layer three hundred dollar tees . . .
yes it's like a Barong from the Philippines
i love it because of the transparent look.it adds texture.
another piece worth borrowing..imagine using contrasting thread to "finish" insides seams...sigh

did you get to go to the couture shows? i would love to see your perspective on those...
This should have been left as an idea. I can see fashion trying to push this on women for a season, but it's really absurd on a man. I could just hate it because what's under it happens to be a t-shirt (which is a questionable-at-best LA vice, even with a solid jacket). Perhaps it would be better with a proper shirt? Either way, any man wearing this in a serious manner off the runway should have some sense slapped into him. Bruce Pask looks slightly confused/disappointed as well.
I like how well you can see seaming details; those little sleeveheads on the back panels! excellent!
I LOVE DIOR!!!
Reminds me of the jacket my uncle wore to my parents' wedding; a black undershirt with a white jacket like this would look great.
great jacket! & the color is stunning for fall.
I want to see more of Simone.
like those layered architecteral type drawings, where semi translucent vellum-ish materials are used over colors to create depth and atmospheric distance.
you have a gorgeous blog
loving it...the street style is always the best, a fun eye for interesting pieces put together
love it!

The concept of a summer blazer has reached a pinnacle. And yes, layer has also been brought to a whole new level with this piece. I like that this particular jacket is a neutral shade to maximize versatility. I honestly wouldn't mind an outrageous paisley dress shirt if it was paired with this.
Japanese businessmen have been wearing semi-sheer jackets in the summer for years
wow. imagine the possibilities with that jacket
This is a really interesting idea. Has this ever been done before? This would make it fun to show off shirts with unique patterns. I definitely agree that playing with contrast would be really interesting.
That is such a clever idea.
sleeve length on the layering pieces would also be important - is that a cap sleeve on the model?
The 7th, eighth, and nineth look after this particular garment... I desperately want! What an amazing show, I'm not too sure if I could pull the sheer shirts/jackets look off. Or for that matter the sleeve-less items. :(
amezing !!
I don't think that this jacket is that great, innovative definitely, but just too forward for me.
love your work though Sart!
Also the Barong which is a traditional Filipino dress shirt for men.
I would definitely contrast it as well, especially with a nice pocket square in the summer. Like it.
I LOVE this, at least in theory. It never occurred to me. Women have so many great sheer tops, so why not men?
I´m feeling curious about..
one day Ill be there!
I loved this collection!
A few of the evening jackets reminded me of what Proenza Schoukler did for fall 2008, with this inside-out, paper plane idea.
the best KVA has done for dior homme

i can understand what you mean about layering colours but dont you think the colour of the jacket would just make the underlying colours look a little off and dirty?
for me this is very close but not quite there.
I have never tried to construct a blazer but if they could do something about the bit on fabric that is not sheer under the back shoulders without compromising the structure...
then there is the problem that if this gets popular it will be dated next year. (as shallow as that is)
I love the sheer thats going on
Acne has the same kind of jacket for current season. http://shop.acnestudios.com/system/search/product.asp?id=1214
True, Rylan, it's like the jacket form of the Filipino barong. Definitely great for layering and humid weather!
Superb! The craftsmanship needed to create a clean garment like this should be applauded.
I get what you mean about the colours for layering pieces.
KVA spoils Dior Homme....
The concept feels new to me, and looks very exciting!
All we can do is dream.
Cool jacket! Something for fashion shows only? Or would you wear this on a Saturday afternoon?
Haven't seen this before! Very interesting.
just what i was thinking. barong tagalog.
Oh, wow. What a perfect piece for summer.
I love that every seam, every detail of this jacket is on show.
Oh this is cool...
that´s not knew at all, Ann Demeulemeester made that jacket for the current spring summer season....and in a more inspirational way.
I can't believe this didn't happen sooner, its brilliant!
It's so gimmicky, how many times could you wear it?
Just seems like they are trying too hard to be different. It would be hard to justify the price.
oooh great :)
Kilgour showed a better version of the sheer jacket last year.
I don't think a lot of men will try this, but I do think it would be great for women. It's always fun to see something on the street that you take a second glance at, like, wait...was that...?? It could also be cool done with a printed lining.
I love it. It's always nice to show some man-nipple and man-breast. And my stomach is totally flat, so why not?
I would totally rock this jacket sans shirt. I am not super gay and I have not spent a fortune at various gyms for nothing !!! J'adore Dior
Oh
My
Gosh
This is AbFab and totally revolutionary you guys. My word! Whoever designed this is a genius in my book. I can't wait to start Fashion School in the fall. I wish we had fashion like this in Utah :(
I'd rather see you in a see-through suit . . .
The sheer jacket is brilliant. I'd love to see this type of innovation more often in men's fashion. You could experiment with endless combinations underneath, but my first thought was different than yours; that I'd wear a monochromatic outfit with it- I don't like seeing the shirt/pants transition through the jacket in this photo, but maybe in person. It's fun to see something new that's actually interesting and shows great possibilities.
Nice idea. Intriguing choice of color. But the faces in the background make the shot for me. Each one tells a different story.
What a fantastic idea. I would buy it and wear it on my travels during the hot season. Great!

This is so beyond perfect!!! I love it, and I love the idea of contrasting colours.
Gentleman Sart,
I think your point about contrasting colors is a wonderful idea, tonal as you showed in an early post would be interesting too. The sheerness is intriguing on two other levels: 1. To show the construction of the jacket the architectural nature of clothing. 2. sheerness adds a sensuality to men's clothing that is often lacking, to imagine what is underneath the jacket even more the lovely lines of the male form: the torso the back, the shoulders, very sexy.
Will they make pants to match the jacket? I hope so...
No good with sweaty armpits!!!
Sheer jackets have been done and done. even from a menswear student at central saint martins at a degree show back in 2006! not so much novelty here.
Didn't Ann Demeulemeester do a sheer linnen jacket for her SS09? Again no creativity at LVMH.
I love it! Thanks for the great photo.
I own almost same jacket from Patrizia Pepe.adorable
Chocolate-coloured jacket with butter yellow shirt underneath could be yummy no?
yes about the asian jackets~ Koreans have been doing it for years! summer formal way - no better way to do it!
Agree with the commenter who posted about how this showed off the lovely seams, sleeve caps. It truly is a look into the architecture of a jacket, and I applaud that.
Oh I love the idea of a sheer blazer for men! I would have never thought of this to be dont this way.
I can imagine this jacket matched with somethnig steely gray. The shoulder detailing and lines of the back seem masculine creating a perfect balance.
Finally! I have been waiting way too many seasons for the houses to come out with a sheer jacket. I guess not many of them know any Filipinos! Anywho. . . it's about time Paris, so much for being ahead of the curve.

so gorgeous, absolutely love this

Think of all the fun you could have with a great sheer jacket! Fab.
These kinds of sheer jackets are really popular in Japan- it makes sense, since its so hot and humid here. Comfy and stylin'. =)
I adore the sheer jackets!!! You can really play up colors, textures and inventive layering underneath! A veil over a creative juxtaposition!
It also reminds me of the transparent jacket Cher (Alicia Silverstone) wore in the movie Clueless over her white Calvin Klein dress!
What material is it made of? It looks so much like the Barong Tagalog. http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=barong+tagalog&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
This is going to be big for SS2010.
The sheer look!
Style elegance and ultimate refinement.
The Linen of the informed.
Maybe this is the way to beat global warming?
Let the sunshine shine and the linen live on.

It looks like its silk organza. Interesting how they clean finished the shoulder pad, the sleeve head and french seamed the armysce.
finally, the blazer of my dreams.

KVA's BEST (and only good) DH season yet
- 21arrondissement.blogspot.com
It indeed reminds me of the Filipino barong tagalog.
Mabuhay.
thanks for a great idea!
i have a piece of loose waived linen in black, so i'll have a outstanding blazer in a week!
would wear with colored tshirts underneat, or on barechest! (sic!)
with really slim jeans, white or black
Like so many things in European fashion, this is a stolen idea from other cultures. Clearly this is taken from the Barong Tagalog : Filipino traditional dress shirts for men, made of pineapple fiber.
