Paris Fell for Anderson and So Did Dior. And, to be honest, we all felt it—the buzz, the flash and that unmistakable Anderson effect. When Jonathan Anderson stepped onto Dior’s legendary stage at Paris Fashion Week 2025, it wasn’t just another debut. It was a moment. From the first model to the final bow, every look whispered one thing: Dior was back and it was breathing new life. Anderson’s debut didn’t just meet expectations; it redefined them. If perfection had a headline, this would be it: Paris called. Anderson answered. Dior delivered.
At Vogue Vocal, we’ve seen designers rise, shimmer and fade—but this felt different. Dior, once a whisper of nostalgia, suddenly became the pulse of the season. Jonathan Anderson turned Dior into the season’s obsession and we’re here for it. If you missed the show, the internet already crowned him the comeback king of couture—and honestly, we agree.
Jonathan Anderson isn’t just a designer; he’s fashion’s great storyteller. From crafting Rihanna’s Super Bowl look to Ariana Grande’s Met Gala gown, his genius has always mixed emotion with edge. Now, he’s writing Dior’s next chapter—one that bridges legacy and rebellion.
Born in Northern Ireland, Anderson built his name through JW Anderson before reinventing Loewe. Now, at 40, he’s Dior’s first-ever creative director to lead both menswear and womenswear. That’s no small feat. Bernard Arnault (Chairman) called him “one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,” and we can see why. His debut didn’t erase Dior’s DNA—it revived it. His designs spoke in Dior’s classic language but added his own modern poetry. It’s as if Dior finally found its new voice—and we’re all listening.
Fashion houses often chase hype but Jonathan Anderson builds a legacy. His Dior debut wasn’t loud—it was luminous. Every silhouette balanced harmony and tension, just as Dior’s original spirit intended. You could sense empathy in every thread, rebellion in every cut. And maybe that’s why it struck such a chord.
The show felt like a love letter to the past, sealed with Anderson’s fearless future. Critics called it romantic, wearable and refreshingly bold. And let’s be honest, when the likes of Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lawrence, Jimin, and Brigitte Macron lean in—you know it’s history in the making. Dior’s comeback feels personal because it’s authentic. It’s art with pulse and couture with courage.
At Vogue Vocal, we’re not shy about our opinions, and here’s ours: Dior didn’t just get a new designer; it got its soul back. Between the talent and the charm, he didn’t just win Dior—he won us too. The Anderson era has begun and it’s about to get iconic.
