Overview
- Presented at the Rodin Museum during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, the Fall-Winter 2026–27 collection explored a 'new aristocracy' and explicitly referenced Paul Poiret.
- Design notes included sequined reproductions of a Poiret bodice, jacquards and brocades, cocooning puffers and capes, cropped Bar jackets, and neon-yellow wigs with glittering epaulettes.
- Gender-mixed styling pushed long wool dresses and wide skirts into menswear, grounded by sturdy boots and small-heeled lace-ups to keep the silhouettes anchored.
- Reviews highlighted a surer hand and praised outerwear and tailoring as the collection’s backbone, framing the show as a step up after a more debated womenswear outing.
- The statement arrived as luxury demand cools and Dior’s performance is closely watched at LVMH, with Anderson noting encouraging early store feedback from January product drops; VIP guests included Robert Pattinson, Pharrell Williams and Lewis Hamilton.
