In a historic move, Jonathan Anderson has been appointed as the sole Creative Director of Christian Dior, overseeing the brand’s men’s, women’s, and couture collections. This marks the first time since Christian Dior himself that a single designer has helmed all three lines, signaling a significant shift in the fashion house’s creative direction.
Delphine Arnault, Chair and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, expressed enthusiasm about Anderson’s appointment, highlighting his extensive experience within LVMH and his deep understanding of Dior’s heritage. Arnault stated, “Jonathan Anderson is going to be the head of creation for Dior, across men’s and women’s, couture and accessories.” She emphasized that Anderson’s clear vision and creative prowess make him an ideal fit to lead Dior into its next chapter.
Anderson’s journey to Dior began in April 2025 when he was confirmed as the Artistic Director of Dior’s men’s collections. Prior to this, he had a distinguished tenure at Loewe, where he served as Creative Director from 2013 until his departure in early 2025. During his time at Loewe, Anderson revitalized the brand, introducing innovative designs and collaborations that resonated with a global audience.

At Dior, Anderson is poised to bring his unique vision and aesthetic sensibilities to the storied fashion house. His appointment is seen as a strategic move to unify Dior’s creative direction and reinvigorate its presence in the fashion industry. The fashion world eagerly anticipates Anderson’s debut collection, which is expected to showcase his signature blend of innovation and craftsmanship.
As Dior embarks on this new creative journey under Anderson’s leadership, the industry watches closely to see how his influence will shape the future of one of fashion’s most iconic brands.
