Opening with a film that revisited Dior ’ s archives , the
Spring / Summer 2026 show began with an immaculate
white dress , symbolically ushering in a new era .
Anderson turned history on its head , with theatrical
hats whose flamboyance was offset by sleek , silhou -
ette - elongating miniskirts in denim , leather , checks
and pleats . The show channeled a sense of audacity
and serenity , the grandiose rubbing shoulders with
the everyday , with Anderson ’ s talent revealed in the
striking simplicity of his designs . Bows – tied and
untied – were a signature thread woven throughout
the collection , adorning necklines , lifting bodices ,
accentuating waistlines and shaping trains .
Fragments of the Maison ’ s codes resurfaced in the
sculpted curve of a Bar - inspired jacket , in the flowers
blooming from the pleats of a dress or from the tips
of stilettos in cannage motifs on a vanity case
