    Creative director Kim Jones walked straight into the Dior universe with a debut that wowed the fashion cognoscenti. Hands down, it was one of the best menswear shows of the season packed with a badly needed fresh perspective on men's accessories - notably the remake of Dior's iconic saddle bag. This is the first time the Dior men's universe has its own version of the saddle bag previously designed by John Galliano in the '90s (which rose to IT bag stardom). It was later reinterpreted by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the womenswear creative director, last year. While he first made waves with the Dior Saddle menswear sling/waist-belt bags, Jones outdoes himself with the backpack version - its sleek hardware buckles are courtesy of Alyx's Matthew Williams. Finished in sturdy leather with a contrasting top-stitch detail, the bag is also thoughtfully designed with plenty of functional compartments.
