Jonathan Anderson’s first women’s ready-to-wear Dior collection, which he debuted on Wednesday, represented his vision—and his alone. There were no LVMH executives tinkering from the background on that Luca Guadagnino–designed set. In many ways, this represented the LVMH ideal. Bernard Arnault built his €265 billion empire on the notion that investing in creativity is more profitable when the suits don’t butt in at the end with fulsome notes. Arnault has scaled his company partly because he let John Galliano and Marc Jacobs work freely at Dior and Louis Vuitton, respectively. He afforded Anderson the same freedom at Loewe, and now at Dior, too.
