Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Womenswear Debut Draws Ovation in Paris

The debut signals a British‑tinged rewrite of house codes under unified creative leadership.

Overview

  • Staged on October 1 in the Jardin des Tuileries, the show ended with strong applause and a standing ovation, with Brigitte Macron, Johnny Depp, Carla Bruni, Charlize Theron, Jenna Ortega and Jisoo in attendance.
  • The collection reframed Dior signatures such as the Bar jacket and crinoline into contemporary silhouettes, with the miniskirt emerging as the defining piece.
  • Anderson now oversees Dior’s women’s, men’s and haute couture lines, becoming the first designer since Christian Dior to lead all three.
  • The presentation featured an Adam Curtis film under an inverted pyramid set and tricorne-inspired headpieces by milliner Stephen Jones.
  • Commercial markers included new Lady Dior iterations unveiled on the runway and the introduction of Mikey Madison, Greta Lee and Mia Goth as faces of the women’s line.
