Jonathan Anderson will present his first cruise collection for Dior on 14 May at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art—a moment that carries significance well beyond a seasonal runway show. It is, after all, one of the Irish creative director’s first major creative declarations since succeeding Maria Grazia Chiuri, who helmed Dior’s womenswear for nearly a decade.
His tenure so far has been nothing short of commanding. Anderson’s fall/winter 2026 debut for Dior was staged over the Jardin des Tulleries’ central lily pond in Paris, where he leaned into frothy, romantic ideals, presenting feathery finishes, soft pastel floral prints and exaggerated fluted silhouettes. Front row sightings of Alexa Chung, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jisoo, Willow Smith and Priyanka Chopra underscored the collection’s global resonance. It was a show that announced, quietly but firmly, that Anderson’s Dior was finding its footing. The 2027 cruise show only promises to propel that vision further.
Today, anticipation heightens as yet another page is turned for the house. The collection will be presented on the grounds of the LACMA against the backdrop of its new David Geffen Galleries, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. Los Angeles as its location feels timely, coming soon after Dior opened its new flagship on Rodeo Drive, with chef Dominique Crenn’s acclaimed restaurant Monsieur Dior upstairs. A show teaser starring Irish actress Alison Oliver and directed by Ukrainian directors Tanya and Zhenia Posternak recalls the visual style of Alfred Hitchcock and Old Hollywood—offering a hint at the ideas that might play out on the runway in due time.
Below, tune in to catch the livestream of the Dior cruise 2027 show, happening live from Los Angeles, this morning at 10.45am SGT.
