Jonathan Anderson Takes the Helm at Dior Men

Dior has officially announced that Jonathan Anderson will be stepping in as the new creative director of Dior Men, ushering in what could be a transformative era for the house’s menswear division. The announcement follows the departure of Kim Jones, who recently concluded his impactful seven-year tenure at the French fashion powerhouse.

In his farewell, Jones expressed deep gratitude toward his studio team, Dior’s skilled ateliers, and Bernard and Delphine Arnault. His final collection, for Fall 2025, reflected on the uncertain yet pivotal moment the fashion industry currently faces. “Fashion is in a time of unsettling evolution,” Jones had told Vogue Business. “You need to offer something solid.”

The news of Anderson’s appointment was confirmed by Bernard Arnault himself, chairman and CEO of LVMH, during the luxury conglomerate’s annual shareholders meeting. Anderson is expected to present his first collection for Dior Men at Paris Fashion Week this June—an event already generating significant buzz.

This marks the first official move by LVMH since Anderson’s exit from Loewe, where he served as creative director for 11 years and revitalized the Spanish heritage brand with his distinct blend of craftsmanship and avant-garde vision. He also continues to lead his namesake label, JW Anderson, known for its intellectual playfulness and genre-defying aesthetic.

Anderson’s arrival at Dior signals more than a simple creative transition; it represents a shift toward a renewed masculine identity—one informed by conceptual design, couture-level execution, and cultural dialogue. His work often challenges traditional codes of masculinity while celebrating fashion as wearable art.

Although LVMH has not confirmed the widespread speculation, there is ongoing buzz about Anderson potentially taking over Dior’s womenswear as well—currently helmed by Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri. If realized, this dual leadership would mark a significant consolidation of creative power within the house.

What’s clear is that Dior is placing a strategic bet on Anderson’s visionary talent to shape the next era of its menswear legacy. As fashion continues to grapple with shifting values, gender fluidity, and the demand for deeper artistic storytelling, his appointment is both timely and culturally relevant.

The world will be watching closely this June, when Dior unveils its next chapter under the guidance of one of fashion’s most innovative minds.
