Forum Members Review Jonathan Anderson’s Debut Dior Menswear Spring 2026 Collection

Today, on day four of Menswear Paris Fashion Week, Jonathan Anderson presented his debut collection as creative director of Christian Dior. Appointed in June, the British designer kick-started his era as the sole creative force behind the fabled French fashion house with a bang. The front row was stacked with a plethora of A-list talent (including everyone from Rihanna and Josh O’Connor to Donatella Versace and Robert Pattinson). Inside the vast show venue that was modeled after Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie museum, models paraded the set dressed in Jonathan’s take on classic Dior house codes. The recipient of theFashionSpot’s 2023 Designer of the Year award infused the past and present, amalgamating 18th-19th-century dressing with a contemporary preppy-inspired style.

“It’s just JWA x Uniqlo with a Dior logo.” [youthinasia]

“Snoozefest.” [FashionPower]

“I knew it would look this way. The womenswear is going to be worse.” [brandon J pierre]

“What a bore. I thought it would never end. I don’t remember anything besides the unflattering bar jackets or whatever that was supposed to be.” [Avonlea]

“I was afraid of this. It’s good, but I just don’t know if it’s right for Dior. It needs a little bit more refinement. We don’t need a more luxe version of his namesake label.” [GivenchyHomme]

“Great debut! I knew it would be more commercial than JW and Loewe, but I think he knows how to make commercial pieces that are still interesting and incredibly desirable. There was quite a bit of fashion ideas running throughout the collection.” [Marc10]

“The debut was solid, IMO. I like how approachable the collection can be. Fabulous soundtrack too.” [thiago]
