The question is whether such fables are merely stories told for entertainment or are they something more? Usually, the main narrative’s point is to teach certain moral codes – be kind to animals, don’t trust strangers – but is this the sole purpose? Dior Men’s latest drop proves fairy tales seem to have a longer lasting effect on a child’s psyche than simply a lesson learned. Highly expressive menswear articulated in the form of velvet opera gloves embellished with pearls reminisce of an oligarch court.

Languid capes and military style Chelsea boots recall the guardians of the Princess. Over-the-top keychains rival even the most exaggerated dungeon keys. Given the unreal world in which we’re living, do improbable volumes, pleats and an obsessive eccentric individualism really seem out of place?
