From the invite to the guestlist to all 63 looks, Dazed Fashion was on hand to give you the inside scoop from today\u2019s proceedings, so scroll down for everything that happened at the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>RUFF AND READY <\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"c27a9c74-0f32-417b-bdbd-b3d901382e55\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/4\/1434701.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.8\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior AW26 men\u2019s invitation\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1434701.jpg\" width=\"2400\" title=\"1434701\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26 <span class=\"nowrap\">men\u2019s invitation<\/span><\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Jean-Marie Binet<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The day before the show, editors and VIPs were sent this season\u2019s invite, which came in the form of an ivory neck ruff with a Dior label on the inside of the collar. For his SS26 men\u2019s debut, Anderson sent a bunch of private school kids down the runway, with clothing inspired by preppy English aristocrats, plus institutions like Eton and Oxbridge. The neck ruff is historically a symbol of wealth and status, so all clues suggested that, for AW26, J Dubs was about to bring back his toffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BOYS BOYS BOYS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Much like his debut collections, this season Anderson started the show before the catwalk actually began: in the backs of cars with all his famous guests. As they made their way through traffic to show space at Mus\u00e9e Rodin, cameras kept an eye on A-listers like David Jonsson, Archie Madekwe and Joe Alwyn, plus K-pop superstar Mingyu.

The Scottish fashion designer died just two months ago, leaving the fashion world with one less legend. Though there was no mention of her in the press release, could it be that Anderson was paying homage to Hogg in today\u2019s show, sending models down the runway donning luminous yellow wigs? They were even styled into shaggy, tousled mullets, just like the late designer\u2019s. Surely that was no coincidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>A LOVE LETTER TO POIRET<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"12becb83-b185-48dd-9e71-b3d90139c2b0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1999\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/4\/1434703.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior AW26 men\u2019s\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1434703.jpg\" width=\"1999\" title=\"1434703\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26 men\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Estrop via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>While the Pam Hogg tribute is up for debate, the show notes make it clear that Anderson was paying tribute to at least one great designer: Paul Poiret, one of fashion\u2019s founding fathers. If Charles Frederick Worth was the first couturier, Poiret wasn\u2019t far behind him, inspiring a multitude of modern designers \u2013 particularly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/john-galliano\"><span>John Galliano<\/span><\/a><span> during his time at Dior. The couturier is credited with removing the corset from society and introducing loose, dropped waistlines that the wearer could more easily dance in (laying the foundations for flappers). He was also known for taking inspiration from North Africa, the Middle East and East Asia, echoed by Galliano in 1998, and again by Anderson earlier today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ANDERSON\u2019S ARISTO-YOUTH<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"52a5052c-ae26-41a8-ab96-b3d901460148\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1999\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/4\/1434704.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior AW26 men\u2019s\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1434704.jpg\" width=\"1999\" title=\"1434704\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26 men\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Estrop via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Although inspired by Poiret, Anderson\u2019s primary muse was spelt out for us this season: the \u201cDior aristo-youth\u201d. If you\u2019re wondering exactly what that means, Anderson describes the aristo-youth as having an air of \u201ceclectic opulence\u201d \u2013 \u201cjoy and spontaneity guide their choices and here they are now, with spiky yellow hair and embroidered epaulettes.\u201d As well as those sparkling shoulders, we saw bold colours \u2013 vibrant emerald, purple and orange, all emphasised by the yellow wigs \u2013 marking a new, daring direction for J Dubs. We saw the return of the Dior Bar jacket, more parkas and military-style jackets, as well as opera capes and knitted tailcoats. From his debut last June, we knew that Anderson was taking Dior in a preppy direction, but today\u2019s collection gave us a glimpse of the aristo-youth\u2019s nightlife attire too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
