Dior appoints Jonathan Anderson as creative director
By Shivani Dubey | 2 June 2025 | Style
Dior has announced that Jonathan Anderson will take over as creative director for the brand’s men’s, women’s and haute couture collections
Luxury fashion house Dior has announced that northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson will be taking over as creative director for the brand’s men’s, women’s and haute couture collections — making this the first time since Christian Dior that a creative director will manage all three prongs.
This news comes after the brand announced that Maria Grazia Chiuri has stepped down from her role as the creative director of women’s haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories.
Jonathan Anderson has been an integral part of the LVMH group for a long time. He was appointed as the creative director of the LVMH-owned brand Loewe in September 2013. During his tenure, Loewe soared into becoming one of the most sought-after high fashion brands in the business. He also has his own label JW Anderson, which LVMH has a minority stake in.

Speaking of the new appointment, Delphine Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of Christian Dior Couture expressed her delight at having Jonathan formally join the team.
“I am delighted to welcome Jonathan Anderson to lead the women’s and men’s creations of the House,” she said.
“I have followed his career with great interest since he joined the LVMH group over ten years ago. I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created. He will be supported by our teams and our incredible Ateliers who will bring his creativity to life,” she added.
LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault echoed similar sentiments, calling Jonathan Anderson one of the “greatest creative talents of his generation”.

I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story,” he said, adding: “I would like to express my sincere thanks to Delphine Arnault and Bernard Arnault for their trust and loyalty over the years.”
