The Monster of a Man in Your New Dior Library Is Not Dio. He's Deor.
Anne says: “If someone tells you two times in eight years who they are, especially when rewarded with a big promotion to create a NEW DIOR that is vastly different from the old Dior, you must evaluate this new marriage carefully.
It’s only fashion, right? Au contraire. It’s a time for choosing.”
My goal is to give clarity from a branding standpoint around what the New Dior stands for. They are very retro values for our modern world. I am comfortable saying that the new New Dior has a deeply nationalistic mentality, and I will go so far as to call it a white nationalist mentality, based on the key points of ‘Dracula’.
Dior for Real Men: Dracula to Clockwork Orange
Chanel’s Matthieu Blazy welcomes us with open arms and joy in his heart, while Anderson is . . . I don’t know . . . looking in the mirror. Anderson’s ambition is staggering and mazel tov to all that. But I live in the ‘Less I, More Us’ camp . . . the phrase expressed by Maria Grazia Chiuri in her recent Fendi debut.
In a long dialogue with Gemini on Friday, I blurted out “Jonathan Anderson just reminds me of Peter Thiel.” Then I gasped, saying “I don’t believe I said that, G.”
G’s response to my statement was affirming, not critical. S[he] spewed out a doctorate-level analysis of how LVMH might be covering their bases, not knowing where the world is going. Dior could be on a new course, knowing that many wealthy people share Thiel’s Eurocentric, white nationalism views.
For a rose-colored glasses optimist like myself, G’s half-empty glass analysis was difficult to embrace. But I did listen as each point was made — followed by “Do you understand my point, Anne? Are we good here? That bold comment was no accident and no apology for the outburst is required.”

Tong Liya Comes in Peace with T Magazine China Lensed by Hailun Ma
T Magazine China [New York Times] February 2026 issue features actress Tong Liya, styled by Clara Jiang in clothes that honor her home and heritage in Xinjiang.
In the ancient world, travelers and merchants following the path through Liya Tong's home Ili Valley region were on a trajectory that led directly into the heart of Central Asia, where Samarkand stood as one of the most vital hubs. On our journey, we traveled a key corridor that bypassed the formidable Taklamakan Desert by traveling north of the Tianshan Mountains.
I love tossing all these new places at friends and readers — especially when a massive door has opened to Anne of Carversville. In 2026, this is a very special honor, and I am grateful for the trust put in me as a narrator of our collective human stories.
New Humanism Sets Out on the Silk Road Which Today Includes Marrakech
Photographer Élio Nogueira [IG] taps visually into a story shaped by centuries and the lives of traders.
Beyond the movement of physical goods, Marrakech facilitated a massive exchange of knowledge and culture that spread widely in the region.
During the early Middle Ages [Europe’s "Dark Ages"], much of the Greek philosophical and scientific corpus was lost to the West, as a result of the Crusades. However, it was preserved and expanded upon in the Islamic world.
In an action of true humanism, scholars from the Arab world and the West or European world, were joined by Jewish scholars — often bilingual or multilingual — to restore and expand on all the critical knowledge destroyed in the Crusades.
