Discover Jonathan Anderson’s Spring/Summer 2026 Collection for Dior
Creative director Jonathan Anderson’s recoding of Dior’s archive is theatrically shot by legendary photographer David Sims in a new campaign
The Dior Spring/Summer 2026 collection marks a major shift for the storied French house, as the brand’s newly appointed creative director, Jonathan Anderson, unveils his unique vision. A defining moment for the industry, Anderson’s appointment came after having spent a decade transforming Loewe from a quiet Spanish leather house into a global fashion powerhouse. Now, his avant-garde creative vision is brought to the height of French haute couture in a collision of high-concept art and traditional craftsmanship, and heritage. Coinciding with its availability in stores this month, the collection campaign shot by David Sims is presented as a study on character.
Set against a minimalist backdrop, it features a cast of eclectic Dior characters. The ensemble, including the likes of Greta Lee, Louis Garrel, and Kylian Mbappé, perfectly represents Anderson’s eclectic new direction through Sims’s imagery, which is a mix of stark black-and-white stills and vivid color. The collection itself, meanwhile, respects the codes and motifs of the brand’s rich legacy while propelling it into the future with a cool new edge.
The accessories are where Anderson truly excels. The highlight debut is the Dior Bow bag: crafted in the atelier with a secret process that maintains a sharp, defined contour while preserving the leather’s suppleness, it features a clever invisible closure and a chain where metallic links are interwoven with bows. It is available in textures ranging from crinkled leather to the Buttercup Garden embroidery.
Meanwhile, the iconic Lady Dior and the Book Tote undergo a Surrealist metamorphosis. Anderson has reimagined the Lady Dior as a series of “lucky charms,” dotting them with three-dimensional buttercups, bees, and four-leaf clovers—a poetic nod to both Christian Dior’s superstitions and Anderson’s own Irish heritage. For the Book Tote, he leans into his passion for literature, nodding to the classics with depictions of the Dior by Dior autobiography, alongside tributes to Madame Bovary and Bonjour Tristesse.
Jonathan Anderson’s debut Women’s SS26 and Men’s Summer 2026 collections are in stores from January 2, 2026.
