The day has come. Jonathan Anderson’s first womenswear collection for Dior is here. The glamour and beauty of old Dior is back, this time seen through Anderson’s distinct, experimental lens.
Presented yesterday at the Jardin de Tuileries, Spring 2026 further solidifies Anderson’s vision at Dior following his menswear debut earlier this year. In many ways, it echoed his menswear collection, playing on Dior’s heritage, but in unexpected and interesting ways with hints of Anderson’s signature aesthetic.
Jonathan Anderson’s Bold Debut at Dior Womenswear
Like his menswear debut, his first womenswear collection featured an ode to the iconic Dior Bar jacket—this time in new, shrunken proportions in green or grey tweed, paired with a matching pleated skirt. Speaking of skirts, there were lots of them, from Y2K-coded denim minis to voluminous, structured silhouettes and bubble-hemmed minis.
Dresses, too, featured Anderson’s signature plays on proportions juxtaposed with signature tailoring like sleek shirting, sometimes with ruffled collars or finished with a bow. In a pre-show preview, Anderson mentioned that this collection pays homage to all who have come before him, from Mr. Dior himself and John Galliano to his predecessor, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Bags That Balance Tradition and Modernity
The bags, too, offer a bit of everything. From new takes on Dior signatures like a softened, suede bowler version of the Lady Dior to a very of-the-moment slouchy suede shoulder bag with hardware that references the Galliano era, the bags, like the ready-to-wear, celebrate Dior’s past while looking towards its future.
That future includes newness as well, like a ruched cannage shoulder bag and a new ladylike top handle silhouette that feels very Dior, which features a bow and cheeky handle hardware that is worked into the Dior logo.

I love it all except the new bow bag
I don’t know how I feel about this collection given that it comes off as a shock in comparison to what I’ve been used to with Maria. It’s a complete shift not saying that I’m one to purchase these clothes in general, but it’s like we went from serving prime steak to now only serving grilled cheese sandwiches. I don’t know if that’s the best analogy but it’s very modern I think while I watch the show I kept looking at people‘s expressions and the CEO look more concerned than anything else. Curious to see what the magazine say about it. I will say he did come out with a lot of new bags, which is something Dior desperately needed given that all Maria did was totes.
Imagine backpack but with 1 strap, that’s the 1st pink bag and their series. (the color is beautiful, btw) it just like Lady Dior but one of the handle is snapped.
The clothes are hideous and the bags make no sense. My wallet is safe!
