Today, the Dior Men’s pre-fall show in London will include an exhibition of rare books and manuscripts from the personal collection of designer Kim Jones, a tribute to ‘On the Road’ author Jack Kerouac.

The collection is inspired by the Beat Generation writers, captured in Jack Kerouac’s 1957 literary classic “On the Road,” and the presentation will include an exhibition of rare books and manuscripts from Jones’ personal collection, accessible exclusively to the guests attending the show at the Olympia London exhibition center.

The designer has been collecting hard-to-find books for around 15 years but has been more vocal about it since moving in 2019 into his vast new home in London, where his collections are lovingly displayed.
