Jonathan Anderson’s much-anticipated debut collection for Dior Men has taken the fashion world by storm. Known for his eclectic style and boundary-pushing designs at Loewe, Anderson delivered a collection that felt both reverent and revolutionary.
Blending tailored, preppy elements with a splash of regency flair, the runway showcased a dynamic mix of preppy ties, old-school bow ties, waistcoats, and even an appearance of gorp-style shorts with hourglass silhouettes. It was unmistakably Anderson — quirky, clever, and deeply considered.
One of his standout moves? Reviving Dior’s original logo font, a subtle yet powerful homage to the brand’s legacy. He explored Dior’s historical fabrics while introducing futuristic materials never before seen at the house. The result: a collection that challenges traditional formality while honouring the maison’s timeless codes.
“You have to decode to recode Dior,” Anderson explained — and he did just that.
He also brought a signature touch of Loewe with him, and the influence didn’t go unnoticed. The front row was filled with familiar faces from the Loewe universe like Drew Starkey, Josh O’Connor, and Luca Guadagnino, alongside Dior ambassadors Robert Pattinson, Roger Federer, and Rihanna.
And let’s not forget the whimsical details — the ladybird and flower rings were tiny accessories with a big impact. Who knew we needed them so badly?
