Jonathan Anderson to Hold Dior Fashion Show at Trinity College
The pre-fall 2027 collection will be unveiled against the Old Library backdrop as the house expands its runway format.
On Instagram, Derry-born designer Jonathan Anderson announced that Dior will present its pre-fall 2027 collection at Trinity College Dublin on Friday, December 4, marking the first time the French luxury house has staged a show in Ireland.
Anderson took the helm at Dior in 2025, becoming the first creative director since Christian Dior himself to oversee menswear, womenswear and haute-couture collections. His appointment followed success transforming Spanish luxury brand Loewe into a superstar.
The announcement featured a four-leaf clover, a motif Anderson has woven throughout his Dior tenure, alongside a quote from Dublin-born Carmel Snow, editor-in-chief of American Harper's Bazaar from the 1930s to 1950s: "It's quite a revolution, dear Christian. Your dresses have such a new look."
Anderson described the Trinity College show as "a dream come true," noting that returning to Dublin "feels deeply personal" since his fashion career began there. The 18th-century Old Library will serve as the collection's backdrop.
Dior will present more than 60 silhouettes for the autumn/winter 2026 collection, while Trinity College's Old Library raises funds for its first major renovation in more than 300 years. Oscar-nominated actor Ruth Negga, a frequent wearer of Anderson's designs, may attend.
