Dior is returning to Shanghai after 17 years. Jonathan Anderson will unveil the Cruise 2028 collection in China on May 14, 2027. After his last Cruise show in LA, he chose Shanghai as his next destination. It marks Dior's first major show in Asia and the House's return to the city since John Galliano in 2010.
The connection between Dior and Shanghai runs much deeper. Christian Dior named a 1948 Haute Couture look 'Shanghai'. Galliano turned the city into a massive runway in 2010. Now it's Jonathan Anderson's turn. He arrives in the city, crossing a 17-year gap.
Anderson will approach Shanghai differently than he did LA. His Dior knows how to read both the history and the present of a city. It will be interesting to see how the 1948 name tag gets reinterpreted on the 2027 runway. What layer will Anderson add on top of the traces Galliano left 17 years ago.
Shanghai is not just a backdrop. For Dior, this city is the first Asian city to be named in a collection and the stage where Galliano held his last major show. Now Anderson inherits that narrative. On May 14, 2027, we will see how he turns Shanghai on its head.
