Jonathan Anderson named creative director of French label Dior

Christian Dior Couture has announced the appointment of Jonathan Anderson as the new creative director overseeing women’s, men’s, and haute couture collections. This marks the first time since Monsieur Dior that a single designer will lead all creative lines of the House.

Jonathan Anderson brings a visionary approach honed through over a decade with the LVMH group. His debut collection, Dior Men Summer 2026, will be presented in Paris on June 27, 2025, the group said in a social media post.

“I am delighted to welcome Jonathan Anderson... I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created. He will be supported by our teams and our incredible Ateliers who will bring his creativity to life," said Delphine Arnault, chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture.

"Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation. His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior," Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, said.

Anderson succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who is stepping down after a transformative nine-year tenure. Chiuri was the first woman to lead Dior’s women’s collections and infused the brand with a powerful feminist ethos.

"It is a great honour to join the House of Dior as creative director of both Women's and Men's collections. I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy. I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Delphine Arnault and Bernard Arnault for their trust and loyalty over the years," Jonathan Anderson added.
