Jonathan Anderson will create June collection for Dior Men鈥檚 Fashion, LVMH CEO says
PARIS 鈥 Jonathan Anderson will create the June collection for Dior Men鈥檚 Fashion, LVMH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bernard Arnault said on Thursday at the group鈥檚 annual meeting with shareholders.
Mr. Anderson, 40, whose departure from LVMH鈥檚 smaller label Loewe was announced on March 17, is one of of high-profile designers taking over some of the world鈥檚 biggest fashion labels amid a sweeping industry overhaul.
The sector is grappling with some of its slowest growth in years, weighed down by China鈥檚 property crisis while rising prices have deterred shoppers from splashing out on new fashion.
Mr. Anderson is credited with boosting the profile of Loewe during his tenure at the Spanish label, where he won over fashion critics with original and quirky designs.
Brand hits from Mr. Anderson include 鈧800 barrel-legged jeans and the compact, over-the-shoulder Puzzle bag, which sells for around 鈧3,000.
The Irish native has won a host of awards, including British designer of the year in 2023 and 2024 for his work at Loewe as well as his namesake brand JW Anderson.
He has built a loyal fan base, drawing an eclectic mix of international artists into the annual Loewe craft prize competition, and famously restyled James Bond actor Daniel Craig in wholesome sweaters and baggy trousers for a buzzy Loewe campaign.
LVMH on March 24 named Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez to rson at Loewe. 鈥 Reuters
