In a historic move, LVMH named Jonathan Anderson as creative director of Dior for womenswear, menswear and couture, making him the first designer to unite all sides of the brand since Christian Dior himself.

His appointment as creative director of both women’s and men’s wear may mark not just a changing of the guard, but a shift in the paradigm.

Jonathan Anderson is now the creative director of Dior, the first since Christian Dior to oversee the house’s women’s wear, men’s wear, and couture.
