Christian Dior Fashion Designs
Dior has a classic style, elegant, graceful, and timeless. 2025 brings us a whole new era in designs, recently this year has been an exciting revolution in fashion. Classic styles from the 1920’s to the 1940’s are back in style.
The new creative director of all Dior collections has taken fashion classic designs back. On June 2nd, 2025, Jonathan Anderson took over head of all designs, after a year of major changes, the house of Dior founded in 1946, announced the departure of designer Kim Jones from its means wear collections. Maria Grazia Chiuri, head of the woman’s collections, also left.
Bernard Arnault, chairman of the board, reassured investors and stated in a press release last April, 2025, “I can tell you that the next Christian Dior men’s show, which will take place in June, 2025 will be designed by Jonathan Anderson”. With his announcement of his promotion to head of all collections, he added that Jonathan Anderson “is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation. His incomparable artistic signature will be a critical asset in writing the new chapter of the history of the House of Dior”.
Once movie stars of the silver screen wore Dior with the long dresses, sparkling beads, sequins, and sparlings crystals. Today everyone from royalty to celebrities have made elegance popular again. I am happy to see such a change in the mainstream, after the last couple years following in the footsteps of other legends in fashion, like Gucci, Versace, Chanel, Maison Margiela, and Celine.
The fashion House of Dior, located on Avenue Montaigne, Paris, has been rethinking its creative strategy for a new age in fashion and a new generation of customers. The appointment of Jonathan Anderson at the helm of all the collections at Dior seems highly promising. Before becoming one of the most celebrated fashion designers of his generation, Anderson dreamed of being an actor. He studied at the Juilliard School in New York but eventually shifted his focus to costume design and enrolled at the London College of Fashion. He graduated in 2005 and started out as a visual merchandiser for Prada, whom he sites as one of his key inspirations. His other influences are from the 1900’s and 2000’s, like Tom Ford and Hedi Slimane.
In 2008, at just 24, he launched JW Anderson, a men’s wear brand, that quickly won over the British Fashion Council. He held his first fashion show during London Fashion Week in 2010, then again partnering with Versace’s and Topshop in 2012. At the time Donatella Versace was betting on emerging young talents to reinvigorate her second line. With Jonanthan Anderson input the Italian house gained an extra touch of audacity and irreverence.
A year later in 2013, he joined the LVMH group, which invested in his brand and entrusted him with the creative direction of Loewe, the Spanish luxury house founded in 1846. In 2025, he left the group and the American designers Jack Mc Collough and Lazaro Hernandez, founders of Proenza Schouler, ended up taking over the creative direction of the Spanish leather goods brand.
At the same time he engaged in numerous collaborations through his JW Anderson label. His iconic look and designs attracted many clothing lines to partner with his label, such as Moncler’s, who is famous for their popular down jackets for men and original designs from Uniqlo.
These collections for the Japanese brand were inspirited by his own style. “I created a wardrobe that I would wear my self-every day. These designs with an aesthetic that is very close to my own lifestyle “. Jonatan Anderson said at a 2021 interview. The versatile designer with a rich resume never shies away from a challenge in fashion.
Through his brands JW Anderson and Loewe, Jonathan Anderson has built a world, where fashion, art, pop culture intertwines, without ever being overly conceptual. It is fashion for insiders yet resonates with a broader audience.
“The very idea of codes is obsolete because people get bored in 24 hours. You need to entertain people, and many industries are facing this challenge today”, he explained to Numero in 2015. If there is one thing this designer excels at it is creating entertaining fashion.
His avant-garde vision is reminiscent of Miuccia Prada’s approach, where he made his debut. He is not afraid to embrace modern times. Through both celebration and parody, as long as craftsmanship remains intact.
Since its creation, thanks to Jonathan Andrson’s initiative in 2016, the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize has annually honored independent creators from all around the world for their unique style and skills, in many various fields, such as woodworking, ceramics, textile art, and jewelry design.
The Loewe Foundation Craft prize has helped spotlight an impressive generation of international artists and creators. A few years later, this same irreverent spirit resurfaced at Loewe, a house he brilliantly helmed, until his departure in March 2025. His idea was to feature the great actress Maggie Smith, who tragically passed away on September 27th, 2024. His spring / summer collection was shot by Juergen Teller. Together they bring a rare touch of luxury to their fashion line.
He also worked with Challenger’s Luca Guadagnino and Zendaya a Generation Z Icon in film. The project was led by Daniel Craig. I look forward to seeing his new designs for fall of 2025. Dior has made a great selection for their new head of collections. I am excited to see what amazing outfits he has for us. Until then I hope all of you enjoyed this article.
