Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 Women's Campaign
Clothing as a vehicle for transformation and affirmation. For the autumn-winter 2025-2026 ready-to-wear collection, the House revisits Dior’s heritage by forging a captivating conversation with the history of fashion. The silhouettes testify to the passage of time. The fascinating images captured by artist Tim Walker bring this modern wardrobe – a repertoire of possibilities – to life, reflecting the idea of metamorphosis(es).
Like a wonderful thread, the fluid and singular character Orlando, the eponymous hero of Virginia Woolf's initiatory novel, infuses the whole campaign. Through multiple interplays on perspective and optical illusions, the images express the power of style.
Set against a dreamlike backdrop – Hatfield House in England – the looks are firmly rooted in the present. Crinoline dresses are shortened to better accompany movement, while bustiers and corsets are enhanced with zips and fastening systems that allow to shape volume. Daringly bold, jackets in all their variations and hyper-structured coats are dressed in complex fabrics.
Drawing on the Dior archives, white shirts – a signature of Gianfranco Ferré—and the iconic J'adore Dior T-shirt conceived by John Galliano, now reinvented, complete the outfits. Inspired by the men's wardrobe, the shoes embody the dynamic transformation characterizing the line, exemplified perfectly by the Dior Dandy derbies and the Dior Novel loafers. Fusing uniqueness and functionality, the bags feature soft curves, highlighted by subtle finishes.
A creative odyssey, inviting travel to a dreamlike elsewhere, between memory, the present moment, and the future.
