All Kinds Of Wrong | Dior Release Snowsports Hardware And Softgoods Line

The fashion giants create a new, boutique snowsports line that nobody asked for

“Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal”

– Albert Einstein

Oh Dior God, no. This is not okay. Dior has launched its new “Winter Ski Capsule”, including a range of offensively overpriced apparel and even their very own snowboard, produced by world-renowned snowsports brand AK. What do you mean you’ve never heard of AK? You know, the ones who exclusively make skis? Yeah, them. They’ve made the snowboard.

The new bespoke product line also includes a helmet, goggles and some technical outerwear with enough water resistance to keep the Methuselah of Dom Perignon from soaking all the way through to the cashmere mid-layer.

Dior haven’t specified if the poles are specifically for ski use, or to poke poor people away when they stand too close to you in the gondola queue. And we imagine golden-hued goggles offer close to zero per cent optical advantages but, if nothing else, they should function as an overpriced, hands-free mating call to attract those with similarly abhorrent taste.

“With rumours of the skis retailing at over $8,000, we’d imagine the snowboard comes in at a similar price, but hopefully with a free Dior sticker pack to deck out your top sheet or your Ferrari’s bumper”

Thankfully, we’ll only be subjected to seeing 50% of the world’s mega-elite donning these threads as it’s currently only available in men’s sizes – a rare silver lining to the everyday sexism that exists in the upper echelons of boutique, luxury fashion.

With rumours of the skis retailing at over $8,000, we’d imagine the snowboard comes in at a similar price, but hopefully with a free Dior sticker pack to deck out your top sheet or your Ferrari’s bumper.

At this stage, we don’t have much more information, but if you’ve genuinely clicked on this article to find out where your nearest Dior “Ski Capsule” is available to purchase, we’d kindly ask you to leave this website immediately.

No, no, no, no, no and no.
