Welcome to Dior! It's the Dior Mega Reboot by Jonathan Anderson, episode 2, Womenswear.
Welcome to Dior! We're back girls, we're back!
The video is in English but there are subtitles!
Word of the day, 'bouleversé'! Bouleversé!
We're in the Tuileries in Paris for one of the biggest shows of the 2025 fashion reshuffle. The new luxury battle, most awaited collection.
Jonathan Anderson is now the new and sole designer of the French house of Dior.
It's not a brand, it's La France. Jonathan doesn't play games, he doesn't take requests. When he goes in, he goes hard.
Stephen Jones does the hats. Hello Master, are you doing well?
The stakes are so high. Now, no going back. Nothing you can do. No going back.
Greta Lee, Anya Taylor-Joy.
What did you think of the show?
It moved me deeply. I'm very, very excited.
Laetitia Casta, Justin Vivian Bond. Oh! We're backstage, in the ateliers and Jonathan Anderson takes the time to explain everything, his vision for this first Dior chapter.
We built it in like three sections and then we kind of went...
Oh, and what is the mood of your look today?
You're never casual, come on!
Johnny Depp, our idol, Nine d'Urso. Oh, oh, look who's there, it's Loic Prigent.
Hello, I'm Loic Prigent. Subscribe to the channel to see everything about fashion.
History, humor, that's all that Loic loves. And of course, share this video with your friends who love fashion.
Ah, Mood of the look! We snagged the bag. Dior by Dior, the book tote. Have you read this book?
Dior by Dior, it's the first book I read in fashion school.
I recommend it, it's the first book I would recommend because it's easy to read, but it immediately immerses you in the world of fashion, sure, but in the passion of a designer.
Do you know Loic? The famous one. Are you reading Dangerous Liaisons?
Yes, I read it when I was 16. I was a bit shocked, actually.
If I abandon you, it's because it's autumn and the leaves are falling. It's as simple as that. It doesn't take much. It's a good reason.
Me, I'm excited to see what this... There's a box underneath, though. Have you gone to look in the box yet or not? Go ahead, go ahead, if you want. I think it'll make sense later. Something's going to come up.
This is YORN MICHAELSEN. He was Christian Dior's assistant in the 1950s.
I am transported back 70 years to the salons of Christian Dior, 30 avenue Montaigne. That was 70 years ago. We weren't set in stone at that point. I hope he slept well last night. I wish him all the success in the world. He's a wonderful boy. Voilà. Good luck.
Hello, I'm Loïc. Hi. May I ask you what do you think of the flipping of the pyramid?
Oh, I love it. I can't wait to see what else happens. I think it will be screening something on it. It's beautiful, it's rich. It's monumental. Monumental. And I love the little cushions. It's the best thing. Very pleasant and very pleasant for the backside.
Really? And is it comfortable?
A film by the documentarist Adam Curtis is projected in front of a mesmerized crowd. Archival footage of Dior collections, Dior designers, Dior clients, Dior doors slammed. Women screaming. It's about the pressure of Dior, the storied house, the deep well of inspiration, and the fact that a fashion house is a haunted house.
I love horror. This year was a really good year for horror. Weapons was very good. When I spoke to Adam Curtis, I was like, do whatever you want. Dangerous. Dangerous. At the end, it's all melting, being sucked into Pandora's box that now only Jonathan Anderson controls. We kind of recontextualize history, all the amazing people who have contributed to the brand, and then it kind of goes into a shoebox, and then the show starts. For me, there's always humor in horror, and it's theatrical.
Look 1, Dana Smith opened the show. She started her career in 2021 with Jonathan Anderson.
We open up with a pure white dress in plissé, and it's super light, kind of bounces, with two bows, so two bits of fabric that have been plisséed and then tied in two bows in opposite directions. And it's this idea of formality, non-formality. This idea of the tension between dressing up and dressing down. One reference here is a haute couture gown called Tourbillon from fall-winter 1956. A hidden internal cage in a spiral made of piano wire. The fabric is résilène.
Me, I'd be afraid it would cut my hands.
No, no, no, it's very soft. And at some point, you have two ends that you need to hold together. To close it, there are little beads.
Yes, so we put the little beads. Then, you thread the two ends into a bead and tighten it with pliers. It's locked in the bead afterward.
It's locked in the bead. Beaded.
There you go, so afterward, you have a wheel that stays. Otherwise, just threading it like that in the tunnel, it wouldn't stay. It would pierce the fabric.
It's clever. She's the one leading, that's good. The dean, she's the dean. Oh, so you're the dean now?
You, when did you arrive?
