Few fashion houses carry the weight of history like Christian Dior. Founded in 1946, the brand forever changed women’s style with the debut of the 'New Look' in 1947; cinched waists, sculpted jackets, and sweeping skirts that re-established Paris as the capital of fashion. Over the decades, Dior has been reimagined by some of the industry’s most influential creative directors, each balancing tradition with modernity. Now, a fresh chapter begins under Jonathan Anderson, who debuted his first womenswear collection for Dior this season in Paris. With Spring 2026 RTW, he took on the challenge of honoring Dior’s legendary codes while reworking them through his own inventive lens.
The show opened with bold symbolism: a massive inverted pyramid projected archival Dior footage, reminding the audience of the weight of legacy. From there, Anderson delivered a collection that was both sculptural and playful. The iconic Bar jacket appeared in surprising new proportions, bubble skirts and origami folds added architectural volume, and delicate lace gowns floated with romantic lightness. Unexpected pairings such as sharp tailoring with denim minis kept the looks grounded in modernity.
Accessories added flair, from Stephen Jones’s reimagined tricorne hats to bowling style bags and whimsical bunny-ear pumps. The collection’s power lies in its contrasts: heritage versus experimentation, elegance versus edge. Anderson doesn’t simply reference Dior’s past, he reshapes it for today. With this debut, Anderson proves that Dior’s future isn’t about replicating history, it’s about reactivating it. Expect these looks to ripple through editorials, red carpets, and real-life wardrobes alike. 75 looks, these are my fav's.
