British actor Robert Pattinson has been enlisted as the face of the new Dior Icons menswear line, launching December 1.

Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Dior menswear, commented 'I talked about clothing and fabrication with Robert a lot because he has a huge interest in fashion. I thought it would be perfect for him to wear Dior Icons because we discussed it in the conception of the collection. He is a good friend of mine so it seemed it would be nice for him to model in it'.
