Dior Homme represents the menswear segment of the Christian Dior SA, a renowned French fashion retailer. As of 2025, the role of artistic director at Dior Homme is held by Jonathan Anderson, formerly the creative head at Loewe.
History
During the 1980s and 1990s, Dior's menswear collection was known under the name Dior Monsieur.
The direction of Dior Homme changed with Hedi Slimane taking the helm starting from the fall/winter 2001-02 season. Slimane pioneered a narrow silhouette that subsequently became highly influential within the fashion industry. His initial collections delved into themes of masculinity, adopting a darker tone during the Luster phase, which drew inspiration from Berlin’s electronic music scene. Beginning with the Autumn/Winter 2004 season, Dior Men embraced Rock and Roll influences. The brand’s emblem, a bee, was prominently featured on items such as knitwear and polo shirts.
Following Slimane's departure in 2007, Kris Van Assche introduced a refined, minimalist approach to the label. He relaxed the previously rigid black silhouettes and incorporated athletic-inspired figures to rejuvenate the aesthetic. His work focused on intricate detailing and favored a color scheme consisting of black, gray, blue, and brown.
In late 2007, Dior Men expanded into men's skincare with a six-piece collection featuring packaging designed by Slimane. This skincare line is available both in France and through global department stores.
Kim Jones served as the artistic director between 2018 and 2025. During his leadership, the menswear division was rebranded as Dior Men in March 2018.
On April 17, 2025, following his exit from Loewe, Jonathan Anderson was appointed as creative director of Dior Homme. Subsequently, on June 2, 2025, LVMH declared that Anderson would oversee creative direction across all Dior lines including womenswear, menswear, and haute couture.
