Anderson’s future at Dior represents continuity through contrast — surreal precision within sacred heritage.

He treats the archive as raw material, reimagining ritual as conceptual design.

His Dior is expected to unite faith and irony, body and dream, reviving couture as conversation again.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Jonathan Anderson’s work, this approach appears where inversion tests bodily structure.

Hard Systems

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Fashion

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.
