Jonathan Anderson has brought his experimental vision to Dior, and he is rewriting its storied House codes along the way. Now a season under his belt, Anderson is solidifying his modern vision with his second collection for Dior, which dropped yesterday in lookbook format.
The collection opened with Anderson’s take on an everyday look—jeans, a top, and a cardigan. Still, these weren’t your average jeans; they were voluminous and statement-making, defying what it means to dress for the everyday. The look foreshadowed the theme of the collection, which brings opulence to the women’s wardrobe.
A New Era of Everyday Opulence at Dior
Described in press notes as “an expansive narrative,” the collection is just that; it takes Dior’s incredible history and heritage codes and revives them in a way that feels fresh, modern, and bold.
Elevated takes on everyday staples like denim, knits, and even a zip-up hoodie are juxtaposed with sculptural gowns that play on volume and proportion. And as to be expected from Anderson, the details throughout are intricate and innovative.
The Bags Defining Dior’s Pre-Fall 2026 Collection
The bags are a continuation of what we saw for Spring and include the iconic Lady Dior, and Anderson originals like the Dior Médaillon, Dior Cigale and the Dior Crunchy. Silhouettes offer something for everyone, from the structure and ladylike shape of the top-handle Cigale bag to the more relaxed and chic, but edgy Crunchy bag. Anderson also debuted his take on one of the most important bags of all time: the Dior Saddle Bag.

That single strap bow bag, still.. kinda ugh.. It is pretty but also awkward in the same time.
Simplistic elegance! It’s refreshing to see clothes that can be worn by almost everyone, minus the extravagant prices.
Simple elegance, not simplistic. These words are not interchangeable, and the use of simplistic to describe something has a very negative connotation.
Thanks, Language Police. I’m sure everyone understood what you meant, Annie.
The matelasse totes are basically Dior’s version of the Chanel 22.
It’s interesting but doesn’t totally evoke Dior..though maybe that’s the point? I like the silky ruffle bow tie blouse juxtaposed against denim but the other embroidered denim suit – gotta say that is hideous. The long back suit jackets are nice and then paired with Birkenstocks – that works for some reason.
Without “Dior” Logo, it can be anyone.
Isn’t that every bag though??
There are some interesting things happening with the clothes, but the bags are as lackluster as the expressions of the girls holding them. And why do we need a metal doorknocker slapped on the side of what might otherwise be a lightweight bag? Passing.
Even the clothes are a big mehhh. Esp the coats — can get better at Max Mara.
