Jonathan Anderson Makes Dior Couture Debut in Paris

The collection opens to the public in a weeklong Musée Rodin exhibition titled 'Grammar of Forms'.

Overview

  • The Northern Irish designer now oversees Dior’s women’s, menswear and couture lines, becoming the first since Christian Dior to hold all three remits.
  • Staged at the Musée Rodin, the show embraced a cyclamen-driven floral concept inspired by a bouquet from John Galliano.
  • Anderson rejected the traditional corset and elevated knitwear as a couture structure, pairing draped silk evening pieces with sheer ribbed tanks.
  • Mona Tougaard closed the presentation in a floral wedding gown, serving as the collection’s bridal muse.
  • An eclectic soundtrack blended Vivaldi with Massive Attack, Nico, Portishead and Brian Eno, as couture week continues with Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel debut.
