Jonathan Anderson Appointed Dior Creative Director

Jonathan Anderson has been appointed as the new creative director of Dior, becoming the first person since Christian Dior to oversee the brand's women’s, men’s, and haute couture collections. He succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who led Dior's women's division for nine years, while Kim Jones is not referenced as a direct predecessor. Anderson, previously credited with revitalizing Loewe, is viewed by LVMH leadership and industry analysts as a potential catalyst to address Dior's recent sales declines. His first Dior collection, Dior Men Summer 2026, will debut at Paris Fashion Week on June 27. This leadership change occurs amid a broader wave of executive shifts at major fashion houses. The appointment signals a strategic effort to unify and rejuvenate Dior’s creative direction.
