Here’s what other attendees had to say about Jonathan Anderson’s first-ever couture collection for the house of Dior:
Veronika Heilbrunner, content creator, editor and model
I’m totally stunned. The blue silk is the first thing that comes to my mind — definitely on my wishlist. The shapes, the lightness, the flowers — I loved that they were turned into earrings and the sculptural element of it. It felt so light and easy to wear, which is very contradictory to couture.
Isabel, a Dior client from California and New York
It was a delightfully fresh collection. I love his interpretation of the house codes and all the colors he used. I see a lot of elements from Mr. Dior in his design — especially the bows and silhouettes. For example, he honors the silhouette of a Bar jacket. And the textures were really feminine and fun. I can’t wait to see everything up close at the Villa Dior on Wednesday.
Lauren Sonit, a Dior client from Geneva and New York
I thought it was fantastic. I loved the tailoring, the different shapes, and the play on the structure of the garments. The sheer dress with the long sleeves and the velvet bow in the front is definitely an item I have my eye on. Hopefully they’ll be lined. I think I aged out of completely sheer fabrics this year.
David Martin, editor-in-chief, Odda Magazine
For me, the first collection of Jonathan Anderson for Dior couture screams the modern era of fashion and haute couture. His understanding of the past, how to incorporate respect in his vision to those who shaped the way before, determines a level of talent and attention to detail we all should pay deep attention to. It is beyond stunning, and he deserves to be where he is.
