Anderson’s Dior Couture Debut Channels a Wunderkammer (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Jonathan Anderson just showed his first couture collection for the House of Dior, and it was a very promising debut. Anderson described this collection as a wunderkammer, a kind of cabinet of curiosities, and it had this refined and elegant balance of super purified, almost otherworldly silhouettes in the tailoring and gowns mixed with ornate details. These tiny brooches that were miniature portraits from the 18th century. There were also bunches of cyclamen flowers made into earrings and other pieces of jewelry. Those were inspired by a posy that former Dior designer John Galliano had given to Jonathan Anderson during a visit last year. And someone like Anderson is relentlessly creative and always pushing himself to make stranger and more audacious designs. I mean, you can really see that in the finale look, which in a couture show is typically a wedding dress. Here, of course, we have this beautiful white gown. It's covered in degradé petals. It has a twisted bustier. This is not a cookie cutter bride. This is a very bold and eccentric woman.
