Jonathan Anderson will lead fashion at Dior
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Jonathan Anderson has been appointed creative director of women's, men's and haute couture at LVMH-owned Dior, according to a Monday press release. Anderson succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who exited her role as creative director for Christian Dior Haute Couture and Dior Women last week following her final couture show in Rome. Anderson, formerly creative director of LVMH-owned Loewe, was appointed artistic director of Dior Men in May. This is the first time all three Dior collections will be under a single creative vision since the house's founder, Christian Dior, helmed the combined roles, per the release. Anderson's combined role at Dior signals a major vote of confidence regarding his ability to recreate the success he brought to Loewe. The brand sponsored last year's Met Gala and ranked consistently high on the Lyst Index, during Anderson's tenure, and he was named one of Time Magazine's most influential people in 2024. 'Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,' Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, said in the release. 'His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior.' Anderson will present his first collection, for Dior Men, in Paris on June 27. In the release, Anderson thanked Christian Dior Couture's chairman and CEO of Delphine Arnault, as well as LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, 'for their trust and loyalty over the years,' and said it was an honor to join the company in the combined role. 'I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy,' Anderson said. 'I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.' Prior to joining Loewe, Anderson was focused on his namesake JW Anderson label, founded in 2008. LVMH acquired a minority stake in 2013 — the same year Anderson became Loewe's creative director. 'I have followed [Anderson's] career with great interest since he joined the LVMH group over ten years ago,' Delphine Arnault said in the release. 'I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created.' So far this year, the fashion industry has seen more than a dozen creative director changes, including last month's appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga. This is the fourth creative director appointment within the past year at LVMH. In March, the company appointed former Proenza Schouler duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez as joint creative directors at Loewe following Anderson's departure. Last year, Michael Rider took over Celine from Hedi Slimane in October, and Sarah Burton nabbed the top artistic spot at Givenchy in September, following the January exit of Matthew M. Williams. LVMH revenue has lagged against a backdrop of tariff uncertainty and a widespread luxury slowdown. First quarter revenue, reported in April, was down 2% to 20.3 billion euros, or about $23 billion at the time. Fashion and leather goods, the company's largest division, fell 4% to 10.1 billion euros. The company doesn't break down revenue by brand, but when LVMH took full control of Christian Dior in 2017, the deal was valued at $13 billion. Recommended Reading LVMH names 3 new CEOs

Puma steers the style conversation with a bold new Speedcat colourway
Originally designed for Formula 1 drivers in 1999, the Puma Speedcat is a bold symbol of self-expression, capturing a spirit of freedom and unpredictability. It was brought back from the Puma archive for its 25th anniversary, rewriting the legacy of this motorsport-inspired style for a new generation. The reimagined Puma Speedcat was introduced in the summer of 2024 with immediate celebrity co-signs — think Grammy award winner Dua Lipa and K-pop sensation Rosé — and sell-out appeal. By October last year it was named the hottest sneaker on the Lyst Index, the quarterly ranking of the hottest brands and products based on shopper behaviour, including searches, product views, social media mentions and sales.

From Loewe To Miu Miu: The Hottest Brands Of 2025 Have Been Revealed & These Are The Pieces On The GRAZIA Team's Wishlist
Photo: @miumiu Instagram With the first quarter of 2025 officially behind us, the fashion girls have spoken, and the algorithm has listened; the Lyst Index 2025 has officially unveiled the most coveted fashion brands of Q1. This season, the spotlight shifted away from structured, tailored pieces and leaned toward versatile and comfort-first designs. With memorable returnees like Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu, to the fashion moments that topped the TikTok algorithm and the unapologetic viral ballerina flats too, the Lyst Index shows what exactly everyone has been raving about. Keeping you in the know and ahead of the crowd in the GCC, GRAZIA breaks down the top fashion brands that ruled the first quarter and the pieces that are firmly on our wishlist. Loewe LOEWE TOMATO CLUTCH IN NAPPA LAMPSKIN DHS13,850 SHOP NOW Taking the spot as the most popular brand of the first quarter is Loewe. Naturally known for its artisanal craftsmanship and flair for virality, it's no surprise that its standout pieces dominated the field, especially with its former creative director, Johnathan Anderson, drawing up his final SS2025 collection. An inevitable spot, the Loewe Tomato clutch meme that lived rent-free in everyone's heads is officially here, launched with the Loewe Paula's Ibiza summer 2025 collection Miu Miu MIU MIU SUEDE HANDBAG WITH TASSLES IN OAK DHS9,000 SHOP NOW An unapologetic returnee, Miu Miu is a powerful force in its own right. The Italian Maison consistently demonstrates that its blend of femininity and strength is what keeps it at the forefront of the zeitgeist, much like its soft brown suede bag, which features a triangular silhouette elevated with tassel detailing complete with its iconic lettered logo embossed on the lambskin leather. Saint Laurent SAINT LAURENT LOULOU SLINGBACK PUMPS IN PATENT LEATER IN OIL GREEN & VERT DHS25,000 SHOP NOW In Q1, Saint Laurent returns to its spot within the top three brands. Being at the forefront, the Maison's sleek tailoring and bold accessories remain a fan-favourite amongst the fashion community. Much like its slingback, LouLou pumps in green featuring an elongated gold-plated pointed toe. Coach COACH BROOKLYN SHOULDER BAG 28 DHS1,650 SHOP NOW It's no feat that the It-girl brand, Coach, would climb the ladder as one the hottest brands in the first quarter. From launching its FW2025 collection In New York City's Upper East Side to its slew of appearances donned by the likes of Palestinian-Dutch model Bella Hadid, Coach's style, whether in the form of structured bags or classic slingbacks, the brand's grasp amongst the fashion girls continues to reign. Prada PRADA OSTRICH LEATHER MULES IN BLACK DHS10,000 SHOP NOW Time and time again, Prada's penchant for being untraditional reigns supreme. As a renowned luxury name, the brand consistently delivers exquisite craftsmanship. Needless to say, whether it's tailored pieces or accessories like the ostrich leather mules ( adding to cart ), it perfectly showcases the brand's undeniable signature for details and comfort. Cos COS BARREL LEG TROUSERS IN GREEN DHS445 SHOP NOW Seen on and off the runway, the barrel silhouette has been a fashion favourite for the last couple of seasons. And while many gravitate to denim for its structured appeal, COS' barrel-leg trousers in lightweight cotton have emerged as the go-to for its voluminous, airy detail and relaxed fit. Bottega Veneta BOTTEGA VENETA NOT CAT EYE SUNGLASSES IN HAVANA, GOLD, AND BROWN DHS 2,775 SHOP NOW A true favourite amongst unapologetic women, Bottega Veneta, as always, exudes its cool energy. Away from the usual and leaning more into modern design, these classic cat eye sunnies, which feature the brand's knot motif in gold, prove that the brand's play with various elements will always be sought-after. The Row THE ROW MARLO 17 LEATHER BAG IN DEEP BROWN DHS 26,168 SHOP NOW While the Margaux bag will forever remain a staple, there's a new 'it' bag in town, and it comes with a soft structure and silhouette. Enter the Marlo, the brand's latest addition to its must-haves which features tubular handles, a gusseted design for unrestrained movement, and a silvery zipped closer. The Marlo, the brainchild of the Olsen twins, is unsurprising that they, and the bag, would break the internet. Chloé CHLOÉ HIGH-RISE LEATHER SHORTS IN FADED MAHOGANY DHS11,125 SHOP NOW Chloé is back, and she's softer and better than ever. Making its debut on the hottest products and brands (rightfully so), the French Maison's return signals that fashion is back to being on its soft side. Chloé's bohemian codes show softness can manifest in pleats and gathered leather shorts. The must-have piece? It's this high-rise short in a rich mahogany colourway. Alaia ALAIA LAMBSKIN LEATHER BALLET FLATS WITH FISHNET DETAILING IN MIDNIGHT BLUE DHS3,286 SHOP NOW Ballet flats have consistently remained a staple in everyone's wardrobe. With brands adding their gusto element to the shoe silhouette only one, Alaïa, has surely monopolised the design with its signature twists and fishnet motif. Never too late to have a pair of your own, these ballet flats made from textured lambskin with rounded toe and buckle straps on top offer a blend of comfort and unmistakable Alaïa edge. topics: FASHION, 2025 Fashion, 2025, STYLE, Celine, Fashion Trends, Fashoin Trends 2025, ADIDAS, puma, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, COS, Alo yoga, Uniqlo, Paraboot, CHLOÉ

Spanish brand Loewe tops Lyst Index as fashion faces creative shake-up
The Lyst Index for Q1 2025 has crowned Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe as the world's hottest brand amid a turbulent start to the fashion year marked by sweeping creative director changes across major houses. Loewe displaced Miu Miu, which came in second, followed by Saint Laurent, Coach and Prada on the third, fourth and fifth positions. Loewe surged to the top following Jonathan Anderson's departure, fuelling a 38 per cent spike in searches as shoppers rushed to buy pieces from his final collection. The move also positions him to succeed Kim Jones at Dior Men's, while Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez step in at Loewe. Loewe topped The Lyst Index for Q1 2025 amid sweeping creative director changes across major fashion houses. A 38 per cent spike in demand followed Jonathan Anderson's exit. Chloé and COS entered the top 10, while On debuted, fuelled by celebrity endorsements. Celine's flared jeans led product searches, and Uniqlo set a record for affordability. The quarter witnessed a reshuffling of creative leadership, dubbed 'fashion's transfer window', with changes at Chanel, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Jil Sander, and Maison Margiela. Notably, Louise Trotter became the only female creative head at a Kering-owned label. Chloé returned to the top 10 for the first time since the Lyst Index began, due to Chemena Kamali's archival revivals and the popularity of its Mini Ruffled Dress—ranked 10th among the quarter's hottest products, Lyst said on its website. In a breakthrough for mass fashion, high street label COS entered the top 10, driven by a 44 per cent surge in demand and the viral success of its barrel-leg trousers—this quarter's sixth hottest item. Newcomer On also debuted in the Index, transitioning from a sneaker brand into a fashion-forward player, backed by high-profile collaborations and endorsements from Zendaya and Roger Federer. Searches for On rose by 50 per cent this quarter. Among product highlights, Celine's Marco flared jeans—worn by Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl—topped the list after a 412 per cent jump in searches. Meanwhile, Uniqlo's coloured socks became the most affordable product ever to enter the Index at $3.90. Paraboot's 80-year-old Michael shoes saw a 226 per cent YoY search rise, reflecting the continued consumer interest in heritage pieces, while the 'sneakerina' trend surged with Puma's Speedcat Ballet, driving a 1,300 per cent increase in searches for ballet sneakers. Brands gaining momentum include Duran Lantink, newly appointed creative director at Jean Paul Gaultier, and Dries Van Noten, now under Julien Klausner's creative lead, both benefitting from renewed media buzz and increased shopper interest. The quarterly report, compiled by fashion search platform Lyst, reflects shopping behaviours from over 160 million global users, combining search data, sales, product views, and social media engagement.

Does Cos live up to the hype? I went shopping to find out
Every quarter, the Lyst Index releases a ranking of 'fashion's hottest brands'. Featuring the most searched and talked about names in the industry, it tends to be a roll call of the most in-demand luxury labels, with Loewe, Miu Miu and Saint Laurent snagging the top spots in the 20-strong list. Look a little further down the most recent edition, however, and there's something of a surprise at number six: Cos. How has this H&M-owned chain managed to rank among the top 10 most desirable fashion brands, ascending 11 spaces since the last index was released? It's partly because Cos has managed to position itself as the 'acceptable' high street brand for the kind of shopper who might otherwise only wear The Row or Toteme (which, interestingly, rank at numbers eight and 19 respectively on this quarter's index). And of late, the brand has elevated its already high fashion credentials. Designer Lou Dalton, whose eponymous label became a stalwart on the London menswear scene, is currently the head of design for Cos men's. In April, the brand's spring/summer 2025 fashion show took place in the striking Dionysos quarry in Athens and drew in a star-studded front row that featured Sharon Stone, Adrien Brody and Gemma Chan. For us mere mortals, Cos is an accessible route to a certain kind of Scandi sensibility, its well-curated stores and addictive website places of elevated basics, neutral tones and clean lines. Its price point may be at the 'premium' end of the high street, but you can still pick up a great T-shirt for £30 and jeans for £85. And the quality and lasting power belies this relatively affordable pricing. It also does some of the best bags on the high street. Its quilted crossbody styles have become bona fide 'It' pieces, selling out season after season. The brand has also done a brilliant copy of The Row's Margaux bags; the smallest of the latter start at upwards of £4,000, while Cos's iterations are £200. All this said, Cos can also feel like an intimidating place to shop. The women's collections skew towards an oversized fit, with the often draped, billowing silhouettes sometimes lacking 'hanger appeal'. The online merchandising can also feel alienating, with an abundance of tall, skinny models with straight frames. I'm 5ft 10 but still find that in the unforgiving light of an in-store changing room, some pieces I thought I'd love look terrible, and don't accommodate for any hint of a curve. I'm not alone. 'I love Cos and think most of the fashion industry does, however, I do think it's tricky for fit,' says stylist Anna Berkeley. 'Even for someone like me who has a straight-line figure and is 5ft 8in, it's harder than lots of other places to choose something based on hanger appeal. My hit rate is roughly about 10 per cent of what I take into the changing room – I might take 10 things in and buy one.' The consensus across every generation on The Telegraph fashion desk is that it's more than worth putting in the leg work. From a maximalist 50-something to a petite 40-something with a more minimal vibe, there's something there for everyone – if you're willing to brave a somewhat sweat-inducing try-on session. This was certainly the case when I headed down to the Cos store on London's Regent Street during the recent spring heatwave to see what's in store – and figure out how best to shop this newly minted top 10 Lyst luxury brand best. Here are five top tips for shopping Cos. Dresses for success There are an abundance of dresses and, as Berkeley points out, this has always been a strong category for Cos. 'They're very good at T-shirt dresses and shirt dresses, which are an easy shape with a lot of chuck-on appeal,' she says. 'The ribbed tube styles are always great for summer – I've got a couple that I've had for years. At the moment I also love the cotton midi T-shirt dress, which they've got in a stripe and a really amazing orange, and they've done a great bubble hem version too.' The latter was my pick of the bunch, with a cotton jersey T-shirt style top and woven skirt to offer a little textural variety. The 'balloon' hem offers a nice 2025 update without going overboard, and it feels both sufficiently smart for the office and relaxed enough for weekend wear. Try before you buy This sensible mantra is especially applicable when shopping in Cos. A case in point for me was an A-line pink maxi dress that looked effortlessly chic online, with a V-neckline, pockets and a box-pleat. In the changing room, however, it looked tent-like and disappointingly unflattering. If shopping online, it's worth bearing in mind that this silhouette seems to be particularly voluminous in Cos. Opt for elevated basics Cos is known for elevated basics, so T-shirts are always a great place to start. They often feature a boxier fit and tend to be slightly oversized, so there's no need to size up if you're looking to achieve a relaxed look. Jeans are also a highlight, with plenty of on-trend tapered silhouettes and a turn-up style that screams spring-summer, especially in ecru (this was sold out in store during my try-on, so I opted for indigo). Try tailoring The tailored pieces I could find felt high-quality and featured twists that are perfect for injecting some life into your workwear wardrobe. Take this season's flattering tie-waist cotton blazer – in the most delicious shade of butter yellow – and a tie-front linen-blend waistcoat in pale pink. With matching wide-leg trousers, both are winners for me. Don't skip the accessories As well as bestselling bags, Cos also frequently nails it on the jewellery front and always seems to be ahead of the curve with trends filtering down from the catwalks – from gobstopper pearls to cord necklaces. 'I love their socks and jewellery,' says Berkeley. 'I've got bangles, the mismatched earrings that they've turned into a bit of a thing, and a textured cuff. I could go on…' Get the look...
