Jonathan Anderson's First Dior Womenswear Puts the Miniskirt Center Stage

The debut signals a unified vision under the first single creative lead at Dior since its founder.

Overview

  • Anderson unveiled the spring–summer 2026 ready-to-wear in the Jardin des Tuileries at Paris Fashion Week on Oct. 1.
  • Reviewers noted a clear break from Maria Grazia Chiuri through British-coded cues such as Ascot-style hats, Long John trousers and glam‑punk bow ties.
  • House signatures were reworked, including a shrunken Bar jacket and crinoline-inflected dresses paired with mini and micro skirts.
  • Dior introduced fresh Lady Dior iterations in new colors and embellished versions, and named Mikey Madison, Greta Lee and Mia Goth as new women’s faces.
  • The show underscored Anderson’s consolidated creative control across menswear, womenswear and haute couture during a season of sweeping creative-director changes.
