Jonathan Anderson Announces Dior Cruise 2028 Show in Shanghai
Anonymous
Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson will present the house’s Cruise 2028 collection in Shanghai on May 14, 2027, returning to a city with a long history in Dior’s designs and runway shows. As Paris Fashion Week’s spring 2027 season unfolds, emerging and established designers are drawing attention: Fidan Novruzova’s collection turns everyday dressing into an occasion, while Julie Kegels and Matières Fécales are among the other names highlighted. Dior has also teased its spring 2027 show with wénwán walnuts, a Chinese tradition associated with patience, longevity and good fortune, alongside nature-inspired imagery that hints at Anderson’s collection themes.
