Dior has unveiled its Winter 2026–27 collection. For this season, Jonathan Anderson envisions a new generation of aristocratic youth—modern flâneurs—in whom layers of history and contemporary sensibility intersect with natural ease.

The narrative begins with young figures wandering through present-day Paris. Drifting without destination, they eventually arrive at the Dior boutique on Avenue Montaigne, where they encounter a small monument embedded in the pavement. Etched into the stone is the silhouette of a woman in a yellow dress, accompanied by a single name: Paul Poiret.

In the early twentieth century, Paul Poiret redefined couture through fluid silhouettes and a liberated vision inspired by North Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia. Establishing his boutique just steps away from this very site, he played a decisive role in shaping Avenue Montaigne as the heart of Parisian couture. This chance encounter with history becomes a catalyst for the collection’s stylistic lineage.
Inspired by this discovery, Dior’s aristocratic youth—today’s flâneurs—begin to trace new connections between past and present. Guided by joy and spontaneity, they appear adorned with sharply cut yellow hair, embroidered epaulettes, and a luxuriant diversity of styles. Tradition is carried lightly, reinterpreted with youthful freedom.

The collection deliberately weaves together elements that appear contradictory at first glance: formal codes, emblematic Dior motifs, echoes of Poiret, alongside denim and hoodies drawn from everyday dress. For Jonathan Anderson, style is not a fixed form, but a discourse—one that invites interpretation, energy, and dialogue.

Tailoring is slim and precise. Long jackets, short blazers, tailcoats, cropped “Bar” jackets, and narrow trousers define sharp silhouettes. Outerwear, by contrast, merges technical innovation with opulence, playfully blurring distinctions between masculine and feminine. Bomber jackets dissolve into brocade capes; balloon-backed field jackets and enveloping coats emerge in succession.
Materials enrich the collection’s depth: Donegal tweeds, lustrous velvets, shimmering jacquards, and sparkling embroidery animate a restrained palette, creating a dialogue between history and the present.

Here, dressing is not an act of completion. It is an ongoing game of association—linking the unexpected, colliding old and new—guided by an effortless sense of spontaneity that moves between formality and nonchalance. Presented on January 21 at the Musée Rodin in Paris, Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Winter 2026–27 collection does not preserve history as an artifact. Instead, it rediscovers it as an encounter, quietly yet decisively shaping Dior’s vision for today.
