Annie Leibovitz photographed Jonathan Anderson for Vogue. The interview was conducted by Nathan Heller.
After an impressive eleven years, Jonathan Anderson left the Spanish luxury label Loewe in the spring of 2025. During his time there, he transformed the brand into a global trendsetter. Just a few weeks after his departure, his move to Dior was announced.
There, in April 2025, he initially took over the artistic direction of Dior menswear. In June, he took over womenswear and haute couture. He presented his first collection for Spring/Summer 2026 in June 2025. In other words, for the first time since Christian Dior, the label is relying on a single talent: Jonathan Anderson.
Since then, the fashion world has been eagerly awaiting the Anderson effect for the traditional French fashion house - luxury fashion for Generation Z.
Annie Leibovitz is represented by the agency LGA MGMT, Paris – London – NYC.
