Christian Dior Couture has unveiled its Fall Winter 2026–2027 haute couture collection, available to view as a full runway presentation and detailed look at individual designs.
The collection is Jonathan Anderson’s second haute couture offering for Dior and responds to the work of American sculptor Lynda Benglis. Drawing on Benglis’s connection to Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India, it places a strong emphasis on Indian craft and artisanal exploration of material, form and visual illusion.
Key design elements include extensive pleating used to create trompe-l’oeil and sculptural silhouettes, composite tweed effects, botanical references and embellishment treated as a material in its own right. These features are framed by the Dior identity while reflecting Benglis’s artistic influence.
Savoir-faire is highlighted through innovative techniques rooted in couture tradition, aiming to explore perception and the idea of the perfect illusion in each piece.
The show set draws on the architectural cultures of Gujarat, India, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, two places central to Benglis’s life and work. Rows of tree ferns echo the fern motifs that recur throughout the collection, extending the visual dialogue between the garments and their environment.
Guests from the worlds of art, music, cinema and fashion attended the presentation, including Sabrina Carpenter, Josh O’Connor and Alexa Chung.
The full haute couture show and collection details can be explored on Dior’s website.
