       PARIS, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Dior creative director
Jonathan Anderson showed metallic trousers, structured jackets
and sheer feathered skirts in Paris on Tuesday, one year on from
his womenswear debut at the storied Parisian brand owned by
luxury giant LVMH.
    Front-row guests including Spanish singer Rosalia and actors
Anya Taylor-Joy and Jennifer Lawrence looked on as models
marched along a white catwalk built over the Tuileries gardens'
octagonal basin. 
    Sheer fabrics ran through the spring/summer 2027 collection,
folded and pleated into structured skirts or tied up into bows
with long tails that cascaded off tightly-fitting tops. Shirts
and dresses were also finely pleated with flouncy hems.
    Anderson has been credited with injecting a contemporary
edge into Dior since becoming creative director for both
womenswear and menswear last year, entrusted with turning around
the brand's performance after two years of declining sales. 
    Metallic snakeskin-effect trousers in silver and green were
paired with roomy double-breasted blazers, while some looks
leaned more into the label's romantic image, like textured
skirts and jackets covered in sheer feathered fabric, or dresses
with lace panels.
    Stripes and checks clashed on shirts, jackets, and trousers,
while impressionist flower prints featured on a handful of
dresses and skirts. Tailored jackets and coats in sober tones of
gray, beige, black and white were punctuated by outfits in
butter yellow, pastel pink and powder blue. 
    LVMH does not report specific figures for Dior, but said in
July the brand was gaining momentum.
    Dior sent a box containing two wenwan nuts - Chinese walnuts
used for hand-rolling - to guests with its show invitations, and
in a press release after the show Anderson cited the walnuts and
their natural asymmetries as an inspiration for the collection.
