Long tipped for the role, designer Jonathan Anderson has been named as the new creative director at Dior, overseeing womenswear, menswear and haute couture.

It is the first time since Monsieur Dior that one creative director will work on all the women's, men's, and couture collections.

His appointment as creative director of both women’s and men’s wear may mark not just a changing of the guard, but a shift in the paradigm.
