On January 26, Jonathan Anderson revealed his first Haute Couture collection for Dior. Revealed at the Musée Rodin, the maison’s Creative Director referenced Dior archives for inspiration and utilized natural objects as details throughout the spring-summer 2026 designs. 

For this particular debut, Anderson was “drawn to objects marked by time: materials that carry memory, utility or prior meaning,” according to Dior. The collection is filled with objects that intentionally carve out a story tying the past to the present through the natural world. 

Some of the collection’s bags and shoes are crafted from rare French silks dating back to the 18^th Century. Some of these silk patterns were redesigned and reimagined for today. In similar fashion, natural themes continue through gemstones on bracelets, meteorites incorporated into jewelry, and flowers, like orchids, worn as embellished accessories.

While the florals aren’t overdone, they appear through a variety of means and reveal elevated craftsmanship. Through beadwork designs, silk floral accessories and micro-flower embroideries, they reappear as a throughline, including tulip-shaped silhouettes that evoke the sensation of flowers blossoming.

Vibrant tangerine, soft blue and verdant greens appear alongside stark ecru and upbeat lilac. The collection’s incorporation of black serves to balance springy hues—and adds to its chic appeal. Like Anderson’s previous Dior collections, and as expected from Haute Couture, attention to detail is emphasized. And we’re excited to see what unfolds for his sophomore Haute Couture collection.
