Jonathan Anderson’s summer 2026 campaign for Dior Men finds its subjects between moments. David Sims photographs each of them in private rooms: Louis Garrel across an unmade bed in a green chunky-knit open coat, a Dior Jett backpack beside him; Kylian Mbappé seated in an armchair, composed, a Dior Normandie bag in his lap; a masked Paul Kircher, a Dior Book tote near. Anderson casts a French auteur, a rising talent, and one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet. His Dior man is whoever picks up the bag.
Dior Summer 2026 Campaign
What connects Dior’s men is the accessories. The totes, the bags, the hardware move through the color frames and the black-and-white portraits with the same insistence, regardless of who is holding them or where they are sitting.
Anderson’s instinct here is sharp. A campaign this wide in its casting could easily lose focus, but the accessories serve as the common thread that holds the visual logic together.
Sims photographs each figure with the compression of someone documenting, which gives the campaign an intimacy. The result is a world where the clothes are diverse and the Dior man wearing them is open to interpretation.
