Last night, Derry-born designer Jonathan Anderson showed his first Dior Cruise collection since taking over the storied French fashion house as Creative Director in 2025.<\/p>\n
Held in the newly opened David Geffen Galleries in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a cavernous space that echoed the expanse of a Hollywood sound stage, the collection drew on Dior’s long-standing relationship with cinema, Hollywood stars and artists.<\/p>\n

Sabrina Carpenter, Alison Oliver, Al Pacino, Miley Cyrus, Anya Taylor-Joy and more were among the starry guests on the night.<\/p>\n
The space was dotted with solo streetlights and revving vintage cars, while guests received a screenplay in lieu of the traditional show notes.<\/p>\n
Written as a script for the show, it referenced Hollywood icon Marlene Dietrich’s insistence that she only wear Dior on screen, famously quipping, “No Dior, No Dietrich!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In the notes, Anderson wrote about Christian Dior’s close relationship with cinema, highlighting how two films Dior worked on – Les Enfants Terrible by Jean-Pierre Melville and Stage Fright by Alfred Hitchcock – inspired the Cruise collection.<\/p>\n

The opening designs echoed those worn by stars like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Lorena and more, with floral motifs still a major piece for Anderson.<\/p>\n
Here, he nodded toward California and the Californian poppy, with a bright orange dress that “looks like a field of poppies”.<\/p>\n

Other designs featured dramatic draping that was reminiscent of 1930s silhouettes, dropped waists, opulent striped fur coats and sheer skirts and blouses.<\/p>\n
Anderson continued to rework the iconic Dior bar jacket, here extending the hemline over the hips and fraying the edges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Gradually, the womenswear designs shifted into menswear designs, with heavy layering, geometric shadowing and pops of bright colour.<\/p>\n
Some models walked the runway wearing minimalist headwear pieces, spelling out ‘Dior’, ‘Star’ and ‘Flow’, designed by legendary Irish milliner Philip Treacy.<\/p>\n

In the show notes, Treacy says: “Working with Jonathan on these pieces felt like revisiting a part of my own history, reworking a technique created for Isabella Blow’s ‘BLOW’ hat into something new for 2026.”<\/p>\n
