Spring-Summer 2026 show

Daring to enter the house of Dior requires an empathy with its history, a willingness to decode its language, which is part of the collective imagination, and the resoluteness to put all of it in a box. Not to erase it, but to store it, looking ahead, coming back to bits, traces or entire silhouettes from time to time, like revisiting memories.
It’s an ever-evolving sentiment and task that is both complex and instinctive.

 
Throughout, an embrace of beauty has enduringly taken shape in the House, no matter the moment. The Dior language is at once familiar and surprising. It is an invitation to dream big – accepting the theater of life, enjoying the power of fashion to rewire the everyday into a grand fantasyscape – that does not ask for descriptions.
It entices feelings, which can be shaped into as many words as the eyes that see it.

 
The feeling behind the vision that unfolds today is one of harmony and tension. Signs culled from the House’s long history coalesce into a drawing that allows the silhouette to telegraph the message with a line. An idea of the past converses with the present, the bold with the calm, the grand with the commonplace. Everything is expressed through the filter of Dior, which is a chromatic sensibility – soft, pictorial, considered, with sudden ruptures – as well as an exquisite way to make things, virtuoso even when they are apparently simple.

 
Putting history into a box creates an implosion – hats implode into themselves, too. The order of things is rearranged; fragmentation allows space for the Dior woman to delve into grandness, swiftness, taut everydayness or a sugar rush; to flow vertically or extend sculpturally.

 
Dressing as a way to become a character on the stage that is life, allowing clothing to redesign both poise and appearance, boxing and unboxing history to react to the overload and emotional stimulation of the moment in empathetic ways.

 
Change is inevitable.

The Set

The Dior Spring-Summer 2026 show space was designed by Luca Guadagnino and Stefano Baisi. Working in collaboration with documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis, they created a powerful spectacle that merged the digital with the physical. 

The House’s history flashed in front of the guests’ eyes before magically imploding into a Dior shoe box - symbolizing a stored past that can be revisited like memories
