Dior 2026 Menswear Collection: Jonathan Andersons Debut with Kylian Mbappé
In a series of videos, Dior has unveiled its first looks for its 2026 menswear collection, featuring French world champion soccer player Kylian Mbappé as the brand's global ambassador. The videos, set against the soundtrack of Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony,” show Mbappé fixing his striped red-and-blue tie over a blue-and-white striped shirt, topped with a flecked gray herringbone wool jacket. In another clip, he dons a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt and undone black bow tie.
Jonathan Anderson, the Irish designer who has been teasing his debut menswear collection for Dior with images of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Lee Radziwill on social media, said in a statement that Mbappé is the voice of a generation and an inspiration to many people in the world of sport and beyond. These films show the charm and charisma that make him the perfect ambassador for the house.
The Dior spring 2026 menswear show, scheduled for Friday at 2:30 p.m., is the most eagerly awaited show of the menswear season. The first looks hint at a more conservative direction for Anderson, who has been known to dress men in frilled bloomer-shorts and multicolored patchwork sweaters.
The French fashion house tapped Mbappé as a global ambassador in 2021 to represent its ready-to-wear lines and Sauvage fragrance. The teaser comes days after Louis Vuitton, which like Dior is owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, announced it would be dressing Real Madrid players, including Mbappé, for major travel and events.
Anderson is known for his eclectic choice of celebrity ambassadors, having featured the likes of Daniel Craig, Maggie Smith and Greta Lee in his campaigns during his 11-year tenure as creative director of Loewe. The Dior collection is expected to be a mix of traditional and modern elements, with a focus on craftsmanship and quality.
In addition to the videos, WWD has also reported that Darnell Strom will head the United Talent Agency U.K. office, while Virgil Abloh's career and cultural impact will be detailed in Robin Givhan's new book. The Dior collection is set to be a major event in the world of fashion, with many fans and industry insiders eagerly awaiting its release.
