Overview

• Showing in the Tuileries, Anderson opened with a film-led spectacle under an inverted pyramid, pairing archival Dior footage by Adam Curtis with scenography credited to Luca Guadagnino.
• He recast house codes with a loosened Bar jacket, abbreviated pleated minis, oversized bows, slouching silhouettes, capes, and visor-like or buccaneer-style headpieces.
• Reuters reported a standing ovation as Anderson took a brief bow, with a front row that included Jimin, Jisoo, Jennifer Lawrence, Johnny Depp, Jenna Ortega, and ambassador Mikey Madison.
• Critics praised craft and invention yet described the debut as a constellation of ideas rather than a single defining ‘New Look,’ noting commercial potential in separates and accessories.
• Anderson framed his approach as ‘decode and recode’ Dior, debuting in a season packed with new creative leads as LVMH bets unified vision can refresh the house during a market slowdown.
