Jonathan Anderson has been announced as Dior Men’s new creative director. The flagship brand of luxury giant LVMH confirmed the news last week, stating that the Northern Irish designer will debut his first Dior Men show at 2:30 pm CET on June 27 in Paris. Congratulations to him!

Anderson was born in Northern Ireland in 1984, and studied at the London College of Fashion. After graduating in 2005, he worked in visual merchandising at Prada and as a consultant for several brands, before launching his own label JW Anderson in 2008, first with a menswear line, and later adding women’s ready-to-wear. He soon made a name for himself with his bold, inventive creations, and was especially successful with his directional, highly attractive fashion accessories.

“Besides shaping [Loewe’s] creative and cultural direction and having a significant impact on the fashion industry, Jonathan Anderson has overseen the launch of the Craft Prize through the Loewe Foundation: an initiative dedicated to preserving and highlighting the instances of artisanal expertise that are being lost around the world,” said Loewe as he left the Spanish brand with flourishing results. We can’t wait to see what he’ll do at Dior and whether or not he’ll follow Kim Jones’ amazing creativity.
