Creative director Jonathan Anderson’s recoding of Christian Dior’s archive is shot by David Sims in the brand’s new global campaign for Spring 2026 with footballer Kylian Mbappé.

At once casual and theatrical, the campaign harnesses body language, ambience, and environment to share Anderson’s character-driven interpretation of Dior’s signature tailoring and nostalgic glamour. With a mix of color and black and white images conceived as visual sketches, Sims highlights the garments’ architecture while creating a sense of calm.

Styled by Benjamin Bruno, the campaign presents Anderson’s fresh take on Dior’s design archive as a relaxed, wearable, and versatile wardrobe. Red carpet ready looks are shot with theatrical flair, giving the impression of an actor rehearsing for an upcoming role at home, while more casual ensembles mix textures to create a lived-in look.

Poppy Bartlett’s set design presents an aristocratic setting with parquet flooring, linens, boiserie, and eclectic yet minimalist furniture choices. The uncluttered backdrops are designed to keep the images concise and meaningful, encouraging the models’ personalities to do the talking.
