Kris Van Assche “Portrait” by Joost Vandebrug from Materialiste Paris on Vimeo.

At the end of June, Dior Homme designer Kris Van Assche allowed the cameras of Joost Vandebrug for Vogue Italia to eavesdrop on the last few days of preparations for his Paris show.

Among many insights gained from the brief video: "People don't realize how difficult it is to find the right boy for the right outfit." And we particularly love his little posted-up mantra of "What Would Madonna Do?" See more in the video above, including a cameo from Karl Lagerfeld.
