- Story Text: An Irish theme dominated the menswear collection of Patrick Lavoix for Christian Dior in Paris on Friday (January 26).
Tweeds in mauve and pink and gold said to be inspired by "sun on Irish heather" were the look for sports jackets worn with velvet corduroys.
Like Daniel Hechter's collection high-buttoning was in, but for Dior there were contrasting waistcoats woven from flannel or cashmere.
An unconventional element appeared in the form of evening ensembles of patchwork lurex tousers teamed with long striped velvet and lurex waistcoats.
