Long tipped for the role, designer Jonathan Anderson has been named as the new creative director at Dior, overseeing womenswear, menswear and haute couture.

It is the first time since Monsieur Dior that one creative director will work on all the women's, men's, and couture collections.

Clearly, Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH—Dior and Loewe’s parent companies—agrees. “Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,” he said in a statement. “His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior.”
