Jonathan Anderson’s first Dior womenswear collection is officially here, and we are all still catching our breath. In the Tuileries Gardens, under a stark white tent, the show opened with a black-and-white film: archival Dior silhouettes colliding with surreal, almost cinematic energy. It was a clear message—this collection wouldn’t play it safe.
All 74 looks landed with precision and tension. The Bar jacket returned, cinched at the waist but expanded at the back, paired with pleated mini skirts that swung with unexpected motion. Oversized wool capes layered over soft knits. Backless dresses contrasted sharply with high-collared coats. Denim appeared in slim and barrel-leg cuts, merging streetwear ease with couture structure.
Hats commanded attention: wide-brimmed, tilted, sculptural, and oversized ribbons that nearly obscured faces. Belts, gloves, and sculpted bags accentuated the silhouettes, striking a balance between drama and wearability. Standouts included a sheer pleated blouse under a tailored jacket with a ribbon hat, and a caped wool coat paired with fitted trousers and a knit beanie—sharp, unexpected, alive.
Dior’s New Look DNA—bows, structured blazers, cape drama—was everywhere, but Anderson twisted, layered, and cropped the codes until they felt contemporary. Additionally, he quietly revived the historical Dior logo, replacing the all-caps DIOR from 2018 with a capital “D” and lowercase letters in the Cochin typeface. It’s a small detail with a significant impact: a subtle nod to the past, signalling a house in motion.
The finale landed like a statement: Anderson owns this moment. Applause swept the tent as the last models exited. This wasn’t about a single silhouette—it was a vision: remixing Dior’s legacy, amplifying its codes, and making the house feel alive again.
