Jonathan Anderson unveiled his first Dior cruise show — and first coed one — at the recently reopened and reinvented Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Wednesday evening.
Miley Cyrus, LaKeith Stanfield, Anya Taylor-Joy and Al Pacino were there, ogling Anderson’s take on L.A.’s dream factory, complete with vintage cars, its own pseudo screenplay, an Ed Ruscha collaboration and a signal that this may be the beginning of a new relationship between Dior and the film world. (Anderson has, after all, been the costume designer of a number of movies, including “Challengers.”) Our fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, was watching from afar, but the drama was impossible to miss.
There was old silver-screen glamour, updated for the 21st century. Ripped jeans got a new twist by incorporating filament-thin silver chains amid the distressed cotton. Accessories, like Philip Treacy hats with the words “Dior” and “Star” on the top, bejeweled bags and chain-mail earrings snagged the big cameos. And florals were abundant.

Designers typically move from ready-to-wear garments to bespoke items for celebrity clientele as they advance in their careers. But not so with Joe Ando-Hirsh. After dressing stars for red carpets and onstage appearances since becoming a pandemic breakout on TikTok, he will on Thursday introduce his namesake label, Joe Ando — a ready-to-wear women’s wear offering that is his attempt to make his designs accessible.
@joeandohirsh 's career began on TikTok, where he posted videos sharing his design process and what he had learned in fashion school, all out of his parents' garage. But as his his videos gained momentum, he started being tapped to dress stars like Millie Bobby Brown, Japanese Breakfast and even Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Despite sharing his journey on social media for more than six years, Ando-Hirsh will be at his most vulnerable with his ready-to-wear brand, sharing his design vision with the consumer, as opposed to the made-to-order garments that cater to the client. But he does not want to lose the intimacy and connection he has had with his bespoke clientele. Tap the link in our bio to read more about how Ando-Hirsh's label came to be and to see more photos.

The days of giving pharmaceutical-branded swag, like like pens, mugs and even candleholders, to health care professionals are largely over. Now those items are hot on the thrifting scene.
Pharmacore — medical-branded pieces worn as fashion — has found new expression at the confluence of identity, medicine and commerce, and at a time when skepticism toward pharmaceuticals is at a high. But it's not just the vintage pieces that are finding fans. Since 2021, the Etsy shop Dr. Sign has sold more than 8,000 items featuring names and logos like Ozempic and Zoloft.
Preston Roche, a psychiatry resident and pharma swag collector, said such garments appeal for many reasons. “We’re almost mocking Big Pharma and joking about capitalism in medicine,” he said. "“Or maybe that’s just me.”

You want to know where men’s fashion is heading? Follow the geeks. These are the obsessives, fixated on how their pants fit, who were early to selvage denim and soft-shouldered Italian tailoring.
And where has the attention of this cohort landed now? On a vanguard of newish-to-the-West labels from Japan like A.Presse, Comoli, Auralee and T.T.
Basic though these clothes appear, their hook is that they’re opulent to the touch, elevated in their fabrication. The sudden popularity of these labels outside Japan can make it feel as if they are new. Yet each label has built a respectable business within Japan, some for more than a decade.
And they have swiftly wiggled into the broader fashion community. "While I was in Paris for the men’s fashion shows a year ago January, all anyone wanted to talk about were things with a 'Made in Japan' tag," @jacobwgallagher writes.

"I love white, off-white and cream pants for women (and men for that matter), but unless they are jeans, they are often see-through, with the pockets and seams visible through the fabric," a reader wrote to Vanessa Friedman, chief fashion critic for The New York Times. "Is there a secret to wearing them so this is less of an issue? Am I looking in the wrong places?"

Caleb Hearon, a comedian known for his podcast and his stand-up, joined the world of high fashion in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”
Alongside Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Anne Hathaway, he plays an assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding, fictional editor of Runway magazine. Hearon’s character, nicknamed Charlie the Chair because he is not allowed to leave his desk, “is stepping into the shoes of Andy Sachs 20 years ago,” said David Frankel, who directed both films.
Hearon said it’s a role he never dreamed of booking. “It’s ‘The Devil Wears Prada’!" he said. "It is a fashion movie, and we still do not like fat people in this country. I was so pleasantly surprised at how far we’ve come.”
Hearon is circling the mainstream, and it’s obvious to those in his orbit. Regardless of his accomplishments, though, he still sees himself as the Caleb who was born and raised in rural Missouri. His Midwestern earnestness and affability draw people to him, but does his podcast-friendly personality translate into Hollywood stardom?

When “Fashion Is Art,” the dress code for the Met Gala on Monday night, was announced, it seemed like a risk. After all, fashion has been trying for decades to prove its bona fides as an equal of the other fine arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The gala has increasingly been walking the line between elegant and absurd, as guests attempt to one-up one another in the attention economy. Giving celebrities “art” as a theme could have inspired a host of old masters and Impressionism cosplay rather than any sort of consideration about what it actually means in fashion terms.
See Heidi Klum, who walked as a Grecian or Roman statue. Or Ben Platt in a Tanner Fletcher suit that evoked Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” Or Anne Hathaway, who had a Grecian figure appliquéd onto the skirt of her Michael Kors gown.
More than just flirt with costume, the Met Gala’s dress code also “acted as a reminder of the distinction between fashion and art,” wrote Vanessa Friedman, chief fashion critic for The New York Times. In her analysis, @vvfriedman examines guests’ interpretations of the dress code. Tap the link in our bio to read. Photo by @vnina
