Paris Fashion Week 2026: Jonathan Anderson returns to extravagance at Dior Homme

At Paris Fashion Week, Dior offered a sensitive, lucid and precise narrative. The show blended tailoring, couture gestures and contemporary energy, without unnecessary noise.

Between atelier and audacity: Dior captures the moment

The house chose a sober, workshop-like scenography. The focus was on cut and material. Fashion Week Paris found a calm, confident tempo here.

At Dior, the Bar jacket returns with a pronounced waist and sculpted bust. What’s more, the shoulders assert the line without stiffness, for a clean look.

The tailcoat is designed for evening wear, but open to the day. This keeps the stature lively, while the sides lengthen the stride.

“Fashion advances when the gesture remains visible.”

Tailoring, couture gestures and modern élan

The lavaliere shirts add a graphic suppleness to the bust. The knot shapes the neck and sets the pace for Fashion Week Paris.

Long johns appear like a second skin, layered under slim jackets. What’s more, this thermal knit regulates warmth without bulking up the silhouette.

• Clean-cut and noble materials.
• Useful contrasts between rigor and gentleness.
• Visible workshop gestures, hand after hand.
• Accessories for everyday life.
• Muted palette, enhanced by tactile sparkles.

Donegal tweeds punctuate jackets with discreet sparkles. These flecks also add grain and depth to the gray.

Volumes, textures and winter warmth

The brocade capes are a theatrical gesture, but useful in the cold. Embossed motifs catch the light without weighing it down. Fashion Week Paris thus welcomes a measured majesty.

The puffer jackets play protection with precision. On the other hand, volume is maintained thanks to clean stitching.

Long wool coats stretch the line and set the pace. What’s more, their oversized fur sleeves bring warmth and softness to the touch.

Long wool dresses offer supple verticality, set on firm boots. The wool follows the body and keeps the right distance.

Accessories and details that define the silhouette

Voluminous skirts give air and movement to the stride. From now on, the center of gravity shifts, and Fashion Week Paris captures the echo.

The Dior Book Tote is back as a practical, readable landmark. Book-cover motifs punctuate its sides.

The Lady Dior is reimagined by Sheila Hicks in linen ponytails. As a result, the bag becomes a tactile piece, somewhere between art and use.

Remembering names, looking to the future

The Delft dress evokes porcelain precision, without pastiche. In this way, the pattern can be read from a distance, crisp and clear at Fashion Week Paris.

The Caprice dress is a combination of playfulness and fit and finish. What’s more, it moves forward, then stops, like an elegant punctuation mark.

The La Cigale dress captures a sunny warmth, discreet but tenacious. In short, its fall sings of summer while keeping winter in mind.

Beyond the show, the wardrobe is about real life, not the shop window. Fashion Week Paris has learned a simple lesson: serve the body, then the duration.
