The arrival of Jonathan Anderson in 2025 marked the beginning of a new era, one that seamlessly bridges heritage and a contemporary vision. This new chapter opened with his debut womenswear show, presented in Paris for the Spring-Summer 2026 collection. Several signature details were unveiled there before appearing across subsequent designs: the medallion, clover, bow, and canework pattern have found their place on shoes, Dior bags, and accessories.

The history of Dior was forever changed on February 12, 1947, when Christian Dior unveiled his inaugural collection in the salons of 30 Avenue Montaigne. The Corolle line introduced a cinched waist, soft shoulders, and a voluminous skirt. The Bar suit, with its ivory shantung jacket and pleated black wool skirt, became its ultimate emblem. The skirt required nearly forty feet of fabric at a time when rationing was still in effect; this audacity sparked as much scandal as it did fascination. It was Carmel Snow, editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, who gave the silhouette its iconic name: the New Look.

What truly sets the Maison apart is the continuity of its stylistic language. Jonathan Anderson embraces this legacy in his own distinct way: shortening the Bar jacket, cinching the waist even further, and rounding the hip line, with the iconic silhouette reinterpreted in Donegal tweed.

Designed by Marc Bohan in 1967, the Dior Oblique motif has long graced bags and shoes. On the Book Tote, it appears in an embroidered form. On the Promenade and Médaillon bags, its jacquard version is paired with leather. And on the Walk'n'Dior sneaker, the same design takes on a new scale. Jonathan Anderson extends the motif beyond these categories, bringing it into ready-to-wear, eyewear, and jewelry—where it was once only rarely seen—and turning it into a logo in its own right.

Accessories echo iconic codes from Dior Women’s ready-to-wear. A silk scarf featuring the Dior Oblique motif appears tied at the collar of a coat or around the handle of a Dior Saddle bag. Jonathan Anderson’s signature bow finds its way onto everything from jewelry to the collar of a polo shirt and the cuffs of a button-down. He also introduces charms inspired by Christian Dior’s superstitions: a ladybug, a rose, or a tailor’s measuring tape, each designed to clip onto the handle of a bag. Finally, belts and eyewear now feature the Dior Oblique motif and Médaillon as signature elements.

The Dior Book Tote, created by Maria Grazia Chiuri for Spring-Summer 2018, is defined by its generous silhouette. Jonathan Anderson offers a literal interpretation, placing embroidered book covers across the bag, from Madame Bovary to Les Fleurs du Mal, culminating in Dior by Christian Dior, the founder’s autobiography. This exclusive selection of bags is available on the 24S website.

Other archival silhouettes also appear. The Dior Saddle bag, John Galliano’s 1999 design, retains its distinctive equestrian lines; the Bobby, unveiled for Fall/Winter 2020, is named after Christian Dior’s beloved dog; and the Médaillon, a signature of the Anderson era, echoes the oval seal of the Louis XVI chair chosen by Christian Dior for his very first salon.

Every Dior bag is crafted with a precise intention: the 30 Montaigne bears the address that has been home to Dior since 1946, the Caro is defined by its iconic Macrocannage stitching, while the D-Journey and Dior Toujours offer softer, more relaxed silhouettes for everyday wear. Joining them is the Dior Bow, a design introduced under Anderson, whose elegant silhouette is built around a bow. Understated palettes give way to soft pastels, delicate florals, and playful details.
