Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson has been appointed as the overall artistic director of Dior, overseeing both the women’s and men’s collections, according to an announcement from LVMH, the French fashion house’s parent company.
LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault confirmed the appointment during a shareholders meeting. Anderson will assume creative leadership of the women’s line following the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri.
