Jonathan Anderson - Designer, Creative Director of JW Anderson & Christian Dior

[Salvatore]

He will be designing 18 collections per year if he keeps designing for his own label and Uniqlo in addition to Dior according to the second slide. Wow.

 

[prylvi]

The most exciting appointment in years. He deserves it all, a once in a generation talent.

 

[prylvi]

I really hope he keeps designing for his own brand, and brings some of his ideas from Loewe over there, the same mind just at a more accessible price lol

 

[Deneuve]

best fashion news in a very, very long time, hope he will shake things up completely and nobody will remember what happened the last 9 years

 

[chalayan]

probably the worst possible outcome, but expected. it'll be fun to see dior tumble even further.

 

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

I am sure he is cheaper than MGC + Kim Jones combine

 

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

I am bored to death, as if he's already been at Dior for seven years
He is going to put Julia Nobis or Freja in a bar jacket

I think that was Raf.

we're going to witness a vision of dior so ugly that it'll make raf's couture for the house look like john's opera garnier show.

With Ashley casting, I expect Julia Nobis again for Dior

I am very excited to see the universe Jonathan creates at Dior, having appreciated the different past CD's but never having personally relating to what I saw before and felt like a 'Dior woman' both RTW and LG wise. I am excited that it is someone who has a modern proposal, maybe can bridge between that and conservative, great at building an all encompassing universe across different categories.
DA and BA could've went with a very conservative choice, JW has worked so hard for the last 10 years at Loewe to deserve this chance to grow!
{edit} all those collections a year seem a lot for most, but feeling for Jonathan he is good at building teams. At JW for the last 3 years it's mostly Benjamin Bruno running the show already and even doing the FTS for the final launches..

I really, really dislike Julia and don’t understand what designers see in her… but I’ll definitely prefer to see her and Freja that that parade of soulless children from mariagrazia!

 

[Thefrenchy]

I'm so happy and excited, he's the best of his generation to me.

 

[ellearchivist]

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person!

just make sure he's not left alone in a room with a dog.

It's good they're willing to give him a few seasons to work out his vision:

Now, with a single artistic director for both womenswear and men’s, the house returns to the organisation it had in the days of Christian Dior, Arnault notes. “I think this is going to be great for the maison. There will be consistency and coherence in the products, but also in terms of communication, I think our message will be much clearer,” she says. “Of course, it’s a big responsibility, there’s a lot of connections that need to be made. For any house, having new artistic direction can be a challenge. It takes a few seasons to see exactly what the vision is. But I think he’s totally energised by the idea.”

I am indifferent to this. Hopefully he changes his approach and does something more directional instead of the usual mashup of different gimmicks.

 

[helmutnotdead]

why is he going to debut at Dior with a MENSWEAR collection? absolutely weird choice.

 

[Salvatore]

Interesting. It's slightly Dior coded now that it's mentiones. I wonder if this was a part of his audition for Dior. I hope he goes closer in this direction.

Apart from Anna, they all looked awful
Josh o connor's met look was the best that year (but not in this slide)
