Paris, July 6.
The Dior Haute Couture show was held at the Musée Rodin Autumn/Winter 2026/2027.
Jonathan Anderson, the Maison's creative director, has created garments that rise to the level of true works of art.
He was inspired by the fluid, metallic sculptures of American artist Lynda Benglis.
On the runway, fabric stops being merely soft matter to become solid and three-dimensional.
The models' bodies were transformed into living artworks through handmade plissé effects, bold knots, sinuous drapery, and iridescent metallic figures.
Anderson reinterprets the famous New Look merging the original 1947 aesthetic with Benglis's sculptural forms.
The Bar Jacket revisited with innovative cuts, lengthening to mid-calf and finished with a fringed hem.
Benglis's presence is also felt in the location, transformed into an enchanted garden, where the artist's three-dimensional metal works emerge among the plants and reflections, moving in symbiosis with the floral fabrics and embroidery of the clothes.
Every detail is meticulously crafted, keeping alive the common thread between the world of Lynda Benglis and that of Monsieur Dior.
Art and fashion share the same stylistic codes, creating a work within a work.
