The Northern Ireland-born designer said in a social media post that he was “so excited and so proud” to be able to show the collection at Ireland’s oldest university
The show will also be Dior’s first in Ireland
In a statement Anderson said: “Showing at Trinity College Dublin is a dream come true. 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.”

The fashion brand said the collection would be “unveiled against the backdrop of the university’s Old Library, an 18th-century building housing a world-class academic 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.”

Dior’s announcement also quotes Dublin-born Carmel Snow, who was editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar in New York from 1934 to 1958, and championed the concept of “the well-dressed woman with a well-dressed mind”
Speaking about his first collection, Snow said to Christian Dior in 1947: “Your dresses have such a new look.”
