Dior Couture Gets a Youthful Floral Makeover Under Anderson

Cathy Horyn’s The Cut review of Jonathan Anderson’s couture debut for Dior describes a youthful, floral-inflected collection shown in Villa Dior with museum-like displays and star attendees (Rihanna, Brigitte Macron, Arnault, Bezos). The line blends soft tailoring, minidresses and inventive florals, signaling a new, art-driven direction for Dior’s couture after Chiuri; Galliano’s return is noted, and the show sits alongside Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli, which emphasizes theatrical, 3-D embroidery and “Scorpion Sisters” motifs. Chanel’s Blazy is also referenced as part of a couture week offering three distinct visions. While a few looks miss the mark and lighting isn’t ideal, the overall takeaway is that Dior’s couture has been revitalized with a youthful, artistic pulse.
