Jonathan Anderson, pictured at the Met Gala in 2024, is the first person to head both the men’s and women’s collections at Dior.

“I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy,” he said in an Instagram post on Monday.

“I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.”

Anderson is to take on the womenswear collection after it’s artistic director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, announced her departure after almost a decade in the job last week.

In January, British designer Kim Jones stepped down as artistic director for Dior’s menswear.

Anderson’s move to Dior is part of a major reshuffling of jobs at global fashion brands following some resignations and forced departures.

Who is Jonathan Anderson?

Anderson is known for his innovative styles and gender-fluid designs, and has created some iconic and recognisable looks throughout his career.

In 2023, he crafted Rihanna’s Super Bowl half-time performance outfit, which she used to announce her pregnancy and Ariana Grande’s 2024 Met Gala gown.

Anderson trained at the London College of Fashion, before beginning his career in Prada’s marketing department.

He launched his eponymous brand JW Anderson in 2008, before being appointed as the creative director at Loewe – a Spanish leather goods brand founded in 1846 – in 2013.
