Dior poster points to Irish link
The promotional poster for the show features an elegant etching of a four‑leaf clover and quotes Carmel Snow, the former editor‑in‑chief of American Harper’s Bazaar who was born in Dublin. The poster reproduces her line about Christian Dior: “It’s quite a revolution, dear Christian. Your dresses have such a new look.”

Anderson shared the image online and said he was “so excited and so proud” to bring the collection to Ireland.
Venue and personal ties
The collection will be presented at Trinity College, with the university’s Old Library serving as the backdrop. The setting underlines the designer’s personal connection to the city.
Anderson said: “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.”
When to expect the runway
The presentation is scheduled for Friday, December 4. For Irish fashion followers, the event offers the chance to see a high‑profile house show without travelling abroad.
A note on recent high‑profile work
The announcement follows recent attention on Anderson’s work beyond the runway. The designer, who hails from Derry, has spoken publicly about creating a custom gown for a high‑profile singer, drawing extra interest ahead of the Dublin show.
More details about tickets, guests and how the presentation will be staged at Trinity College have not been released publicly. Organisers and the house of Dior are expected to provide further information closer to the date.
