In Episode 4 of Apple TV+’s The New Look, Lucien Lelong (played by John Malkovich), head of the eponymous couture house that ruled Parisian fashion for decades, presents one of his staff designers, Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn), with a doll constructed of bent wire. “No, it’s not a joke,” Lelong asserts. “It’s the future of … Read more
Bottega Veneta was the show of Milan Fashion Week for me. Backstage Matthieu Blazy said he wanted to “make a monument of the everyday.” It’s such a great soundbite, a six-word exegesis of the job of high fashion—to make things that we can simultaneously aspire to and live in.

That said, Les Walk-Ins, as he mentioned, will be a little different from the past. For one thing, those walking into Mariposa to be drawn will have been cast already and have made an appointment to come by.

“Someone has said that you don’t create your own dreams, rather a dream is given to you and it’s up to you to embrace it. That is what Lisa and I did 10 years ago, and the dream was to create something special out of this historical yarn with roots in China, combined with a … Read more
When Loie Hollowell and I first start discussing her mesmerizing work, which combines the gestures of great feminist artists with the luminous, inherent sexuality of Neo-Tantric painters, I can almost feel her blushing through the telephone. “I call my abstract paintings ‘Linked Lingams,’” says the California-raised, New York-based artist, 40. She describes her visual vocabulary … Read more
