FLEMISH FRATERNITY?: Dior Homme designer Kris Van Assche made a quick trip to Manhattan for a bash to christen the brand’s SoHo pop-up store on Thursday evening, which drew Dior-clad James Van Der Beek, Anton Yelchin, Sebastian Stan, Kevin Jonas and Logan Marshall-Green, the latter of whom has a lead role in the upcoming summer blockbuster “Prometheus.” Van Assche shares a Belgian heritage with his new women’s counterpart at Dior, Raf Simons, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they share design commonalities. “I think it’s a bit of a cliché, no?” he noted of any potential patrimony, adding of the Simons appointment: “I think its great news. Let’s just wait and see how he decides to express himself.”

Van Assche said he doesn’t yet know Simons personally. “We’ve never been in the same place at the same time so we never got close. But I hugely admire his work,” he noted.
The designer declined to shed any light on his own upcoming collections for Dior Homme or for his own label, but offered, “I’m in a happy mood, so that’s a thought.” Before showing those two lines this summer, he will travel on June 1 to open a new Dior Homme flagship in Shanghai.
