Long tipped for the role, designer Jonathan Anderson has been named as the new creative director at Dior, overseeing womenswear, menswear and haute couture.

Jonathan Anderson is now the creative director of Dior, the first since Christian Dior to oversee the house’s women’s wear, men’s wear, and couture.

A County Derry designer has been hailed as a “visionary creator” by Dior, as it announced he will be the first sole Creative Director who will work across all the fashion house’s collections collections since its founder Christian Dior.
