Inside Jonathan Anderson’s Debut Spring 2026 Christian Dior Collection


The sheer number of designer debuts at fashion month this season is unprecedented with more than 15 new creative directors stepping into roles at some of the biggest maisons. One of the most anticipated takeover of the season arrived today at Paris Fashion Week with Jonathan Anderson’s first womenswear collection at Christian Dior. Back in the summer, the Loewe alum showed an initial look at his vision for Dior for the spring 2026 menswear collection, which was met with acclaim with its reworked Bar jackets, conceptual chino short silhouettes, elaborate Louis XVI coats, and preppy knits.

Today, we saw the more from the new chapter at Dior with his spring/summer 2026 womenswear collection. In both his menswear and womenswear debuts alike, Anderson took on the historic house codes through his lens—going back to the first collection in 1947 when Christian Dior introduced the groundbreaking New Look. On the runway, Bar jackets were reworked, . The designer also paid homage to other Dior predecessors—both in a film that played before the show and in the runway looks themselves, and specific nods to their work including a reimagined version of John Galliano’s signature buccaneer hats.
