WWD

Jun 2026

The Dior Men's SS27 BOH project for WWD represents a masterclass in contemporary luxury fashion editorial, blending heritage tailoring with a modern, subversive edge. Under the creative vision of designer Jonathan Anderson, the collection navigates the tension between classical structure and fluid, approachable silhouettes. Through the lens of photographer Fran Gomez de Villaboa, the series leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing both soft natural light and precise studio strobe setups to capture the tactile quality of the fabrics—from heavy wool coats to intricate gold-thread embroidery. Fashion editor and stylist Benjamin Bruno orchestrates a sophisticated dialogue between the garments, emphasizing the architectural weight of double-breasted blazers and the delicate detail of botanical brooches. The imagery, enriched by the meticulous hair styling of Guido Palau and refined artistry of Peter Philips, oscillates between the starkness of a neutral grey studio background and the historical opulence of gilded, classical interiors. Casting director Ashley Brokaw brings together an ensemble of talent—including models like Adam Adler and Ndiouga Camara—whose direct, neutral expressions allow the clothes to inhabit the space with quiet confidence. This editorial portrait series serves as a testament to the enduring power of clean, intentional composition, stripping away the superfluous to highlight the mastery of cut and material that defines the modern menswear landscape.
