Anderson brings Nina Christen on board as Dior shoe designer
British designer Jonathan Anderson continues to build his team at Dior and his latest appointment in Nina Christen who previously worked with him at Loewe. The highly respected footwear designer was the creative force behind behind the viral Loewe Balloon pumps so we could be in line for the kind of buzz around Dior's shoe designs similar to what was seen with its J'Adior slingbacks and Fusion sneakers. The designer also has her own Christen label and has worked for fashion brands including The Row, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta. As mentioned, she was head of footwear design at Loewe with a style that perfectly suited Anderson's eccentric vision. But as the variety of labels she's worked on shows she's versatile and can adapt her style to a brand's particular profile. The key theme running throughout though is that her shoes stand out and frequently become cult classics — her much-copied Chelsea Boots during Hedi Slimane 's tenure at Saint Laurent are a prime example, as are Bottega Veneta's Puddle Boots and the less divisive Lido Sandals. Christen, who launched her own eponymous label late last year, stepped into her new Dior role this month, so we may not see any significant Christen-helmed designs until next year. There's been no official announcement of her appointment but on Instagram the Zurich-based designer said: 'Incredibly excited to support Jonathan Anderson in this new chapter at Dior.'
