Jonathan Anderson Is Heading to Dior Men—Here's the Scoop

published 17 April 2025

Jonathan Anderson takes a bow on the runway.

There are still many lingering questions in the zigzagging world of creative-director moves, but today, we have one major answer. Last month, we learned that Jonathan Anderson was leaving Loewe after 11 successful years, but his professional fate was left up in the air. Today, we discovered where he'll be landing: Dior. The house's parent company, LVMH, just announced that Anderson will succeed Kim Jones and become the new menswear artistic director. His first show will be on June 27 in Paris. It's safe to say the fashion world will be circling that date on the calendar in thick red pen.

The news comes just two days after Dior presented its pre-fall 2025 show amid the cherry blossoms of Kyoto. Our editor in chief was in attendance and shared a front-row look at the show on the Who What Wear Instagram. She was certainly in good company—other guests in Japan included Anna Sawai, Lily James, Monica Barbaro, Elle Macpherson, Ai Tominaga, Makiko Takizawa, and others.

In honor of the announcement, scroll down to revisit five Jonathan Anderson design moments that are etched into my brain.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of my favorite red carpet looks of all time. Thank you, Greta Lee and Jonathan Anderson.

For spring/summer 2023, Anderson presented pixelated pieces that looked like they belonged in Minecraft.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
