Anderson channels nature in Dior Haute Couture debut
- On Monday, Jonathan Anderson presented his first Dior Haute Couture show at the Musée Rodin, saying `When you copy nature, you always learn something` in his show notes.
- In seven months at the helm, Anderson has already produced a busy output of collections, launching five of the 10 he must deliver yearly to reshape Dior with curiosity and experimentation.
- Drawing on clay and ceramic forms, the collection presented sculptural, bulbous dresses inspired by Magdelene Odundo, with accessories like conical clutches and puma-headed purses.
- Front-Row presence from fashion and celebrity figures amplified the immediate reception of the debut, with John Galliano, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez attending and the show closing to a standing ovation.
- His decade at Loewe underpinned a devotion to handmade techniques that resurfaced craft language in fashion, and Anderson framed couture as an experimental laboratory for newness within form.
