Dior Reveals Jonathan Anderson's Debut Looks on Kylian Mbappé

Days before the Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2026 show, the French luxury house made a striking announcement: Kylian Mbappé, the soccer champion and global icon, appeared in two short teaser films wearing Jonathan Anderson’s first designs for Dior Homme. The creative director is making his Dior debut in Paris with the men's show, and this teaser offered a glimpse of what was to come.

“Kylian Mbappé is the voice of a generation and a source of inspiration for people in sport and beyond,” Anderson said in a press release. “These films reveal the charm and charisma that make him the ideal ambassador for the house.”

In the new materials, Mbappé wears tailored pieces, hinting at Anderson's suiting to come.

The announcement signals a quiet yet significant shift. By choosing a global figure like Mbappé, Anderson introduces a vision of fashion that’s both accessible and uncompromising: vibrant but understated, modern without needing to declare it. This isn’t a departure from Dior Homme’s legacy, but a thoughtful reinvention.

The date is set: Friday, June 27 at 2:30 p.m. local time, the world will witness Anderson’s first collection for Dior Homme. Anticipation is high. The designer changed the tide of things during his 11-year tenure at Loewe with a fashion prowess rarely witnessed. If Dior is entering a new era, then Anderson knows exactly how to kick it off: with an icon teasing all that's possible ahead, bridging sports, fashion, and culture in a dynamic way.
