From the iconic streets of Paris to the hallowed halls of Trinity College Dublin, Dior designer Jonathan Anderson has announced his latest collection will debut little bit closer to home.

Dior will present the Fall 2027 Show on Friday 4 December, 2026, at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland’s oldest university.

Hailing from Magherafelt, Mr Anderson is the creative director at Dior and has his own brand, JW Anderson.

He previously spent 11 years as creative director of the Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe.

The Fall 2027 Dior collection will be unveiled against the backdrop of the university’s Old Library, an 18th-century building housing a world-class library and cultural institution.

This is the first time that Jonathan Anderson has presented a collection in Ireland, and also the first time the House has shown there.

“Showing at Trinity College Dublin is a dream come true," explains Anderson.

"I began my career in fashion in Dublin, so returning here feels deeply personal. To present this collection in such an extraordinary setting at an institution with such an important cultural history – is a real honour.”

With friends like Sabrina Carpenter, Rihanna, Robert Pattinson, Josh O'Connor Nicola Coughlan and Jenna Ortega - this special showcase will be the ultimate opportunity for celeb spotting in Dublin.
