In this, Anderson contextualises the Napoleonic hussar jacket – highly decorative with frogging, gold buttons and embroidery and once worn by members of the cavalry during the era of the French emperor – into a desirable way of wearing clothes now.

But then, Jonathan Anderson has never been especially drawn to the conventional.

With its tight bodice, sweeping moiré skirt and geometric pleats, it embodied the spirit of couture. Unsurprisingly, the house’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson – who has already made an impact at Dior thanks to his reworking of the archives through a contemporary sculptural lens – has called La Cigale his favourite dress in the history of fashion.
