Jonathan Anderson's Dior Book Tote Hints at American Psycho Costume Design Gig

Jonathan Anderson has introduced a new American Psycho-themed book tote as part of his Dior resort 2027 collection, fueling speculation that he will design costumes for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming American Psycho reboot. The bag, seen on Macaulay Culkin and the runway, joins existing literary-inspired totes like Dracula and Ulysses. Anderson, who previously worked on Guadagnino's Challengers and Queer, hinted at broader cinematic collaborations between Dior and Hollywood over the next 12 months. Christian Dior himself had deep ties to cinema, designing costumes for films like Le Lit à Colonnes and Terminal Station, for which he earned an Academy Award nomination. Anderson's show notes for the resort collection, presented at LACMA, framed Hollywood as 'The Dream Factory.' Austin Butler is set to star as Patrick Bateman in a new interpretation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel, distinct from Mary Harron's 2000 film. Anderson's costume design for Queer emphasized historical accuracy, while Challengers featured iconic everyday pieces like Zendaya's 'I TOLD YA' tee. The designer continues to juggle his roles at Dior and JW Anderson, the latter recently relaunched as a lifestyle brand.
