Dior and creative director Jonathan Anderson have officially announced that the French fashion house will present its Pre-Fall 2027 collection at Trinity College Dublin. Reported by WWD, the landmark runway show is set for December 4, 2026, marking Dior’s first-ever presentation in Ireland and Anderson’s first show in his home country since taking the creative helm of the maison.
Set against the architectural backdrop of Trinity College’s 18th-century Old Library, the presentation carries deep personal and historical significance. Anderson, who got his professional start in fashion working at the Brown Thomas department store in Dublin, called the opportunity a deeply personal milestone. The show announcement bridges this heritage with an illustration featuring a four-leaf clover, a ladybug, and a quote from Dublin-born former Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Carmel Snow, who famously coined Christian Dior’s “New Look” moniker in 1947.
The Dublin event also marks a format evolution for the house, bringing the Pre-Fall collection directly to a destination runway in December. By staging the event at Ireland’s oldest university ahead of the Old Library’s scheduled multi-year restoration, Dior fuses historical architecture, literary culture, and modern luxury design.
