Overview
- The show opened with a commissioned Adam Curtis montage projected on an inverted pyramid, positioning the collection as a dialogue with Dior’s archives.
- Anderson recut house signatures — notably a shrunken Bar jacket — and mixed bows, capes, denim and ballooned, pannier-like shapes into sculptural looks.
- Accessories took center stage, with new bags such as the Cigale and envelope styles and statement shoes flagged by buyers and editors as likely commercial drivers.
- The presentation at the Tuileries drew a standing ovation and a celebrity-packed audience, including Jisoo, Jimin, Jennifer Lawrence and Johnny Depp.
- Early reactions cast the womenswear debut as a high-profile reset under a single creative lead, viewed as promising and idea-driven rather than a definitive “New Look.”
