The Dior Spring Summer 2026 campaign reads like a quiet moment caught between scenes. Shot by David Sims, the visuals feel intimate and instinctive, reflecting Creative Director Jonathan Anderson’s evolving vision for the House. Nothing here feels overly styled or performative. Instead, the images lean into nuance, emotion, and presence.
Presented in both colour and black and white, the campaign strips things back to what matters. Body language replaces theatrics. Texture replaces excess. The settings are understated yet telling, with parquet floors, boiserie walls, and carefully chosen furnishings that suggest old-world refinement without tipping into costume. The result feels lived in rather than staged.
The cast brings a natural ease to the story. Greta Lee, Louis Garrel, and Paul Kircher appear alongside Kylian Mbappé and models Laura Kaiser, Sunday Rose, and Saar Mansvelt Beck. Each feels suspended in time, whether resting, rehearsing, or quietly transforming, blurring the line between reality and performance.
The clothes follow that same rhythm. Tailoring feels architectural but never rigid. Archive pieces like the Bar jacket and Delft shorts ground the collection, while piped shirting, relaxed denim, and knitted capes soften the mood. Accessories add character rather than polish. The tasselled Lady Dior, Dior Cigale, Dior Bow, and Crunchy bags feel expressive and slightly mischievous, as if they have personalities of their own.
More than anything, this campaign is about how style shows up in real life. It lives in confidence, in instinct, and in the quiet satisfaction of knowing when something feels right.
