On the opening day of Paris Haute Couture Week, Jonathan Anderson made his highly anticipated couture debut at Dior with a collection that balances heritage and experimentation. Sculptural florals, intricate embroidery, and architectural silhouettes revisited the Maison’s codes through Anderson’s distinctive language of asymmetry, layering, and controlled volume.

A warm standing ovation sealed the show’s reception, watched from the front row by John Galliano, whose presence underscored the moment’s symbolic weight. Accessories and couture handbags completed a confident, poetic, and sharply defined first chapter.
