The painting consists of eight panels that are each two metres long, filling two rooms \u2013 designed specifically to submerge the viewer in water lilies. Today (March 3), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/jonathan-anderson\"><span>Jonathan Anderson<\/span><\/a><span> added a few extra water lilies to the Tuileries\u2019 vast collection, submerging us in a pond of his own, just like Monet did a hundred years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His AW26 womenswear offering marks Anderson\u2019s fifth show and seventh collection for the brand, even though it\u2019s been less than a year since he was announced as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/dior\"><span>Dior\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span> new creative director. As one of fashion\u2019s busiest designers \u2013 overseeing womenswear, menswear and couture \u2013 it\u2019s hard to imagine that he gets any free time to amble around Paris\u2019 parks, and yet, that\u2019s exactly what today\u2019s collection was all about. For example\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>GUESTS WERE INVITED TO ANDERSON\u2019S PAD\u00a0<\/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>The entire show was based around the French capital\u2019s most famous gardens, the Tuileries, where the Dior team had spent days erecting a giant lily pad for guests to sit on (like frogs). Among them this season were the likes of Alexa Chung, Anya Taylor-Joy, British actor Robert Aramayo and Stray Kids singer Hyunjin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For those of us watching online, this season skipped most of the usual hullabaloo of guests arriving. Instead, we were shown a brief conversation between Bella Freud and Jonathan Anderson. Filmed in the park three days prior to the show, Freud interviews the designer about the collection, while the set is being built behind them (see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JCJ6YopDBBA\"><span>here<\/span><\/a><span>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Constructed around one of the Tuileries\u2019 fountains, the green walls framed the body of water, which was decorated with water lilies. \u201cThey hover on the surface of water and when they flower, it\u2019s quite miraculous,\u201d Anderson told Freud ahead of the show. \u201cYou can see why Monet was so obsessed. They distort reflection within water, because they create this idea of solidity in it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>WELCOME TO DIOR\u2019S PLEASURE GARDEN<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"cff433e4-0d89-4af4-b479-b40201496133\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440138.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2001\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440138.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Delphine Achard\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019ll always feel like a tourist in Paris,\u201d Anderson continued in the show\u2019s preamble, explaining his love for the green chairs found exclusively in the city\u2019s parks. \u201cHistorically, Dior has always shown here. I always think of Pleasure Gardens, or even in Britain you have this idea of the promenade,\u201d he explains. In the 18th century, promenading was a social activity for the upper classes, providing an opportunity to flaunt status, wealth and the latest fashions. Today, young people still promenade \u2013 whether they\u2019re in the Marais, Brooklyn or Hackney \u2013 but according to Anderson, it\u2019s now \u201cmore about psychology than status. It used to be that you would dress up for status purposes, now it\u2019s more about the psychology, or what group you\u2019re part of.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>PRINCESS TIANA WOULD LOVE THIS COLLECTION\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a43b8d85-2f1e-45f6-b17a-b402014984dd\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440139.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\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440139.jpg\" width=\"2001\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Delphine Achard\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>If they ever make a live-action version of Disney\u2019s <\/span><em><span>The Princess and the Frog,<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0this collection should be the costume designer\u2019s first point of call. The clothes reflected the water lilies theme, blending Monet with Dior classics like the bar jacket and the Junon dress. The first three looks all featured tiered tutus, each with a train of its own and paired with a peplum button-up. A modern take on Christian Dior\u2019s New Look, peplum silhouettes have been a mainstay of Anderson\u2019s Dior since his debut show, and this collection included more of it than ever before. Dramatic oversized ruffles mimicked flower petals, while two chiffon evening dresses \u2013 one in blush pink, the other in white \u2013 resembled the heads of lilies waiting to bloom. Occasionally, additional layered fabric was added around the hips and in the back, giving an almost froggy shape \u2013 especially when paired with shades of mossy green. The shoes were a particular highlight, namely the pair of bright green stilettos that featured a water lily and its pad.\u00a0<\/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!

Today (March 3), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/jonathan-anderson\"><span>Jonathan Anderson<\/span><\/a><span> added a few extra water lilies to the Tuileries\u2019 vast collection, submerging us in a pond of his own, just like Monet did a hundred years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His AW26 womenswear offering marks Anderson\u2019s fifth show and seventh collection for the brand, even though it\u2019s been less than a year since he was announced as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/dior\"><span>Dior\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span> new creative director. As one of fashion\u2019s busiest designers \u2013 overseeing womenswear, menswear and couture \u2013 it\u2019s hard to imagine that he gets any free time to amble around Paris\u2019 parks, and yet, that\u2019s exactly what today\u2019s collection was all about. For example\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>GUESTS WERE INVITED TO ANDERSON\u2019S PAD\u00a0<\/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>The entire show was based around the French capital\u2019s most famous gardens, the Tuileries, where the Dior team had spent days erecting a giant lily pad for guests to sit on (like frogs). Among them this season were the likes of Alexa Chung, Anya Taylor-Joy, British actor Robert Aramayo and Stray Kids singer Hyunjin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For those of us watching online, this season skipped most of the usual hullabaloo of guests arriving. Instead, we were shown a brief conversation between Bella Freud and Jonathan Anderson. Filmed in the park three days prior to the show, Freud interviews the designer about the collection, while the set is being built behind them (see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JCJ6YopDBBA\"><span>here<\/span><\/a><span>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Constructed around one of the Tuileries\u2019 fountains, the green walls framed the body of water, which was decorated with water lilies. \u201cThey hover on the surface of water and when they flower, it\u2019s quite miraculous,\u201d Anderson told Freud ahead of the show. \u201cYou can see why Monet was so obsessed. They distort reflection within water, because they create this idea of solidity in it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>WELCOME TO DIOR\u2019S PLEASURE GARDEN<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"cff433e4-0d89-4af4-b479-b40201496133\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440138.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior AW26\" class=\"img\" height=\"2001\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440138.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Delphine Achard\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019ll always feel like a tourist in Paris,\u201d Anderson continued in the show\u2019s preamble, explaining his love for the green chairs found exclusively in the city\u2019s parks. \u201cHistorically, Dior has always shown here. I always think of Pleasure Gardens, or even in Britain you have this idea of the promenade,\u201d he explains. In the 18th century, promenading was a social activity for the upper classes, providing an opportunity to flaunt status, wealth and the latest fashions. Today, young people still promenade \u2013 whether they\u2019re in the Marais, Brooklyn or Hackney \u2013 but according to Anderson, it\u2019s now \u201cmore about psychology than status. It used to be that you would dress up for status purposes, now it\u2019s more about the psychology, or what group you\u2019re part of.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>PRINCESS TIANA WOULD LOVE THIS COLLECTION\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a43b8d85-2f1e-45f6-b17a-b402014984dd\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440139.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\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/0\/1440139.jpg\" width=\"2001\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Dior AW26<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Delphine Achard\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>If they ever make a live-action version of Disney\u2019s <\/span><em><span>The Princess and the Frog,<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0this collection should be the costume designer\u2019s first point of call. The clothes reflected the water lilies theme, blending Monet with Dior classics like the bar jacket and the Junon dress. The first three looks all featured tiered tutus, each with a train of its own and paired with a peplum button-up. A modern take on Christian Dior\u2019s New Look, peplum silhouettes have been a mainstay of Anderson\u2019s Dior since his debut show, and this collection included more of it than ever before. Dramatic oversized ruffles mimicked flower petals, while two chiffon evening dresses \u2013 one in blush pink, the other in white \u2013 resembled the heads of lilies waiting to bloom. Occasionally, additional layered fabric was added around the hips and in the back, giving an almost froggy shape \u2013 especially when paired with shades of mossy green. The shoes were a particular highlight, namely the pair of bright green stilettos that featured a water lily and its pad.\u00a0<\/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!
