Dior Homme Sneakers Meet Skater Style

Larry Clark, born Lawrence Donald Clark, is an American film director, photographer, writer, and film producer, best known for his 1995 film KIDS, which caused a significant sensation.




Titled "The Larry Clark Project | Paris Session," this short film was shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre. It represents a natural evolution of the Dior Homme campaign, featuring Clark himself.

The film was shot in Paris, with "skate culture"—an essential element of Clark's life's work—as its theme. "The Larry Clark Project | Paris Session" captures highly contrasting shots: the elegance of Paris and skater communities playing around grand monuments.
It evokes the self-abandonment and rebellious spirit of youth seen in Clark's 2014 masterpiece, THE SMELL OF US. This is the clear theme of the collaboration with Dior Homme.




Against a backdrop of industrial soundtracks, the film showcases a mix of Dior Homme sneakers and skater uniforms around the Art Deco facade of the Palais de Tokyo and along Parisian sidewalks and the Seine River. It evokes a sense of "conflict between the rebel and the traditionalist."

Clark's fast-paced, bold editing style imbues the film with an energy as vibrant as a runway show.
