Overview

• Staged in the Tuileries with a looming inverted pyramid, the show opened on an Adam Curtis film that spliced Dior’s archives with horror‑tinged clips to set a dialogue with history.
• Signature codes were bent rather than broken, with shrunken or skewed Bar jackets, micro minis, sweeping capes, oversized bows, and sculptural hats evoking buccaneer and cornette shapes.
• Accessories signaled commercial intent, including a new Cigale bag, logoed pumps with C and D toes, bow slingbacks, loafers with gilt hardware, and slouchy suede handbags.
• The star-packed audience — including Jennifer Lawrence, Johnny Depp, Jisoo, Jimin, Jenna Ortega, Greta Lee and Mikey Madison — delivered a standing ovation after the runway.
• Early reviews praised craft and ambition yet described a fragmentary collection without a single defining silhouette, as the industry watches this consolidated leadership in a season of high-profile debuts and a cooling luxury market.
