Irish designer Jonathan Anderson is now creative director of Dior Men

Clearly, Jonathan Anderson has come a long way since he was cutting his teeth as a visual merchandiser for Prada in Brown Thomas, Dublin. Establishing his own eponymous brand in 2008, JW Anderson was quickly heralded as ‘one to watch’, and he continued to build on his reputation and steadily rose to the top of his game, receiving funding from the British Fashion Council and collaborating with Topman.

In 2013, Anderson was appointed as the creative director for Spanish luxury brand Loewe, and since taking the helm, he has spearheaded a major rejuvenation of the house. Redesigning the brand identity, rearticulating their commitment to craftsmanship, and releasing several series of critically acclaimed and genre-defining collections, Anderson elevated Loewe as an influential and global cultural force.

Sitting as an honorary co-chair at last year’s Met Gala, the accolades just keep on coming hard and fast for Jonathan Anderson. From becoming the first person to win the title of both Menswear Designer of the Year and Womenswear Designer of the Year simultaneously in 2015 at the British Fashion Council, he was also named Fashion Designer of the Year by GQ in 2023, and won the CFDA International Designer of the Year Award.

From the viral Harry Styles JW Anderson knitted cardigan, to the iconic Rihanna Superbowl performance outfit, this Irish designer has had a hand in many exciting (pop) culture moments over the years.

Bringing a more human-centric approach to luxury fashion, Jonathan Anderson’s boundary-pushing designs will likely go on to garner many, many more accolades in the future, and we cannot wait to see it.
