Overview

• Chiuri was the first woman to lead Dior’s women’s collections since 1947, overseeing haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories from 2016 to 2025.
• Under her direction, Dior couture sales climbed from €2.2 billion in 2017 to €9.5 billion in 2023, widening the brand’s global appeal.
• She infused her tenure with feminist messaging and partnered with artists including Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold and Mickalene Thomas.
• Her final presentation, the Cruise 2026 show at Rome’s Villa Albani Torlonia, celebrated her heritage and marked her swan song.
• With no official successor named, industry observers say Jonathan Anderson, Dior Men’s artistic director, is likely to assume the women’s role.
