Jonathan Anderson's Dior Redesigns Regency Romance for the iPhone Generation
If Anthony Bridgerton time-traveled to 2025, what would he wear? What if Mr. Darcy lived in a Lower East Side loft instead of his Pemberley estate? How would Little Women's Laurie dress if he were a creative director nepo baby? The latest Dior Homme collection indicates that J.W. Anderson might have the answer. The Irish designer's highly anticipated first runway show as creative director for Christian Dior is finally here, debuting on June 27 at the Hôtel des Invalides during Paris Fashion Week for the Men's Spring/Summer 2026 season. And though we won't get to see his vision for womenswear until this fall, there are plenty of hints as to what's in store from the French fashion house's new era. According to a press release from the brand, the collection references 'history and affluence' as Dior design codes get updated for a new generation: 'Amid all the youthful spontaneity, style is paramount, allowing empathy to redefine elegance." The Dior Homme collection's first look says it all: Baggy cargo shorts with balloon-like proportions—capped off by tube socks and fisherman sandals—lent a summer in Bushwick aesthetic, while a 19th-century white necktie and high collar worthy of a Jane Austen drawing room brought a bit of bodice-ripping charm to the ensemble. It's Regency Era romance for the iPhone generation—and a fancifully modern introduction to the world of Dior, according to Jonathan Anderson. The Zoomer boyfriend meets Brontë sisters vibe didn't stop there. Fancy dress party vests (in pink, white, and even lavender) paired with army fatigues, cable knits, and boxing sneakers (laces untied, of course). A strong case for more brocade and tweed in fashion emerged. And it was easy to imagine a modern-day Heathcliff wandering the moors wearing Look 19's cropped jacket, ab-hinting tuxedo shirt, and tasseled loafers (looking at you, Jacob Elordi!). Also, the men wore capes—so many capes!—in every luxurious fabric and pattern imaginable. Anderson also lent a bit of prep flair to his new Dior with Ivy League touches. Jaunty suspenders, office blue oxfords, and even the dreaded Nantucket Red chinos made appearances on the runway. And perhaps most memorably, a pair of colorful sweaters draped over two models' shoulders, prompting the question: Who knew cable knit could be so sexy? It was an inspired debut from the genius behind Loewe's tomato and puzzle bag, and a promise of what's to come in the months ahead—soft boy summer, anyone? Whether the Regency Era references will continue at Anderson's womenswear debut in September remains to be seen. Although I think we can all agree that an empire waist dress by Anderson in the style of Elizabeth Bennet would fly off the shelves. Romance isn't dead, at least in the world of fashion.

Watch the Dior men's spring/summer 2026 show here
The magic box opens. This year may have been the year of creative director musical chairs across the board but one of the most anticipated turns would have to be Jonathan Anderson's appointment at Dior, a big move for the Irish designer who had been heading up the design direction at Loewe for the past 10 years. In a feat like no other, Anderson will be the first director to helm up the house solo—and design both menswear and womenswear—ever since Christian Dior himself. In less than a day, his first menswear collection for the maison will be revealed to the world—at the men's spring/summer 2026 show. Courtesy of Dior Courtesy of Dior With expectations at an all time high, the fashion crowd is certainly zoning in on his menswear show, waiting with avid excitement to see how Anderson will lead the brand with fresh eyes and into a new dawn. It is a fact that Anderson has been relentless in his creative pursuits; between designing for his namesake brand JW Anderson and creating the costume design for Luca Guadagnino's films Queer and Challengers , the designer is well-regarded for his tenure at Loewe, which has swiftly become one of the most coveted brands of the past few years. It's precisely this energy which a major luxury house like Dior needs now, and in just a span of a few days, Anderson has already begun to turn the tables by sharing his plans—teasing the sartorial set with images and ideas from his moodboard for Dior's men's collection, as well as his intention to return to the original Dior logo. Courtesy of Dior Earlier in the week, a portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat by Andy Warhol from 1982, another portrait of Lea Radziwill from 1972, and a preview of Anderson's Dior Book Totes were dropped. Anderson shares in a quote: 'As I started out on this journey, I kept returning to these photographs of Basquiat and Radziwill who are both, for me, the epitome of style.' The next day, a teaser of Kylian Mbappé wearing Anderson's Dior surfaces—its imagery borrowed from the previously released Basquiat portrait. The re-introduced Book Tote, on the other hand, wears the original book cover of Bram Stoker's Dracula— its very first edition from 1897. Ideas, ideas, ideas. Anderson's forte is clear, all that's left is to see how he harnesses it for the legacy maison. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) With the show set to unveil in Paris tomorrow, his highly-anticipated debut will likely also see the arrival of house ambassadors, such as Anya Taylor-Joy, Mingyu of Seventeen, TXT, as well as Mbappé himself. Be one of the first to watch the Dior men's spring/summer 2026 show, and tune into the livestream at 8PM SGT on 27 June.

Best street style from the Milan men's spring/summer 2026 shows
In Milan, the fashion fleet has been brewing up quite the storm, first with Pitti Uomo and now with the men's spring/summer 2026 shows in full swing. Albeit a quieter season in comparison to its last (with JW Anderson skipping out in prep for his highly-anticipated Dior show in Paris), well-loved stalwarts like Dolce&Gabbana and Prada (from the famed duo Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons) have stirred up their own respective buzz in the Italian city. The former took bedhead to a different place and sent models down with rumpled piped shirts and loose striped drawstring pants. As for the latter, a childlike innocence permeated the scene—with boat-neck knit sweaters, bloomer shorts-shorts and colourful T-shirts splashed out in graphics. If the start of the men's spring/summer 2026 is anything to go by, designers are streamlining things in their own language. And what of the streets? Well, weather-considered, attendees have been stepping out in lighter, skin-baring silhouettes. Of Paul-Mescal-approved short-shorts, tank tops and plunging necklines, all to convey the effervescent spirit of summer. Amongst the crowd, famous faces have also naturally been spotted—congregating around the expected buzz of the Prada show. Think names like Overcompensating's Benito Skimmer, Harris Dickinson, EXO's Kai, Riz Ahmed, Twice's Sana and more. Below, spy the best street style snaps from the men's spring/summer 2026 season in Milan by Acielle of StyleduMonde—with more to come.
