Dior by Jonathan Anderson: Bridging Past and Present

On June 27th, French luxury fashion house Dior unveiled its 2026 Summer Men's Collection through the eyes of Creative Director Jonathan Anderson.

The collection show took place in a space inspired by the interiors of Berlin's Gemäldegalerie, capturing a modest yet authentic beauty akin to the paintings of French artist Jean Siméon Chardin. Through this, Dior elicited deep empathy with everyday art.

The collection was akin to a manifesto that reinterpreted the legacy of the house with restrained elegance and refined sensibility.

Traditional designs like the Bar jacket, tailcoat, and waistcoat were reimagined in a modern light, with Donegal tweed and military-style details redefining formality.

Rose embroidery and Rococo-inspired Diorette charms, Delft and Caprice dresses emphasized Dior's unique romance. The Dior Book Tote drew from the literary works of Baudelaire and Capote, while the Lady Dior incorporated elements of art and literature through the touch of artist Sheila Hicks. These designs showcase self-expression and the expansion of imagination through clothing.

Dior's latest collection revisited the past to recreate the present, exploring true elegance through empathy with others. This transcends mere trends, reflecting Dior's philosophy of conveying timeless sensibility and imagination through the language of fashion.

Meanwhile, Dior's 2026 Summer Men's Collection show was graced by Dior ambassador Mingyu and TOMORROW X TOGETHER representing Korea, along with international celebrities such as Robert Pattinson, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, and Sabrina Carpenter.
