Actor Jodie Comer Knows Quite a Lot About Rage in GQ UK June 2025 Heroes Issue
Actor Jodie Comer is among the British GQ’s Heroes cover stars, lensed by Scandelbergs [IG] for the June 2025 issue and styled by Gerry O’Kane and more for the fashion story ‘How Jodie Comer focused the fury.
Rage in Play ‘Prima Facia’
Rage is not confined to her next film ‘28 Years Later’. Comer’s ‘Prima Facie’, the one-woman play that won her a Tony when it transferred to Broadway in 2023, has been a game-changer for her. The play has also helped her to confront this severe contradiction of inner peace between many men and women.
The play has been so emotionally draining for Comer as an actor, that she prepared for her West End run by sitting and waiting, drowning out the raw negativity about to consume her for 100 minutes with music. Absorbed in the sound and messages of artists Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alison Goldfrapp and Florence Welch, Comer would steady herself until someone tapped her on the shoulder to tell her it was time to go on. That’s quite a story.

Dom Perignon's 'Creation is an Eternal Journey' Ode to Humanist Thinking
The newest initiative from Dom Pérignon, titled "Creation is an Eternal Journey," is 2 minutes of video beauty, longing and enthusiasm for a life well-lived in a world infused with turmoil and conflicting values.
The distinguished champagne producer, part of the LVMH group, has collaborated with seven established creatives from various disciplines to reinterpret the Dom Pérignon narrative in nonmaterialistic self-expression and humanist values.
The Dom Perignon [IG] ‘Creation Campaign includes Zoë Kravitz - actor and director [film]; Tilda Swinton - actor and artist [cinema & art]; Iggy Pop - pioneering musician [punk rock legend]; Anderson .Paak - music producer and director [Grammy-winning artist]; Clare Smyth - Michelin-starred chef [gastronomy]; Alexander Ekman - dancer and choreographer [contemporary dance]; and Takashi Murakami - contemporary artist [visual art icon].
Most LVMH brands are adept at sophisticated marketing to clients for whom nuances matter. With anti-billionaire hate growing exponentially in America and around the world, brands must be extra careful in how they communicate their values. A new book ‘The Haves and the Have-Yachts: Disparities on the Ultra Rich’ offers a field guide to the ultra-wealthy, exploring their lives and influence.

Maison Keï Akai Presents “Damier” Exhibition Featuring Richard Bernardin until June 30, 2025
Maison Keï Akai is proud to unveil DAMIER, a striking new black-and-white group exhibition opening on Thursday, June 12th, in celebration of Grand Prix Montreal 2025 weekend. Drawing inspiration from the graphic elegance of the iconic checkered flag, the exhibition is a bold homage to the visual language of Formula 1 and the energy it brings to Montreal each summer.
AOC’s pleasure in sharing this Maison Keï Akai news flows from the intersection of multiple events, cultural issues and people who have touched my life in very positive ways.
Richard Bernardin: the Heart of Maison Keï Akai’s ‘Damier Exhibition
Breathing “life, sensuality and wisdom” [all Anne’s words] into the Montreal exhibition is internationally-acclaimed fashion photographer Richard Bernardin, whose evocative large-format black-and-white prints will be prominently featured.

Inside the Mind of Dior Creative Director Jonathan Anderson: How His Imagination Thrived at LOEWE

Inside the Mind of Dior Creative Director Jonathan Anderson: How His Imagination Thrived at LOEWE
The Northern Irish designer will present his first collection, Dior Men Summer 2026, in Paris on June 27, 2025, skipping a haute couture show and then showing in Paris Fashion Week in October.
Delphine Arnault says she remembers climbing the stairs to a small apartment Jonathan Anderson rented near the Gare du Nord. She was immediately struck by the clarity of Anderson’s vision for JW Anderson. In short order the LVMH group took a minority share in JW Anderson and appointed him creative director of Spanish leather goods brand Loewe.
For reasons I understand deeply, based on our tremendous support for Maria Grazia Chiuri, we want her light to continue to shine brightly. However, Delphine Arnault’s point about Anderson staying 11 years at Loewe — when he absolutely declined other offers — is valid.
In AOC’s love for Chiuri, I been raving for years about Jonathan Anderson at LOEWE. And this 40-year-old massive talent, spontaneous but also deeply schooled in design and product development has his own visions for Dior’s future.
We’ve added some of our favorite campaigns from Jonathan Anderson’s LOEWE years.

Maria Grazia Chiuri Says 'Au Revoir' to Dior | AOC Shares a Breadcrumb from Jonathan Anderson
I want to speak a moment about what I interpreted as a Grade A***** breadcrumb to Chiuri’s fans from the new Dior Men’s Artistic Director, also ‘waiting in the wings for the next big announcement’ regarding Dior Women.
For those of us for whom Chiuri is an absolute goddess on every level, Anderson’s quiet gesture might have been a coincidence. But I come from the school of people who believe there is no such thing as a coincidence at the highest levels of LVMH. Not like this one.
it was Jonathan Anderson’s ad campaign and film for his LOEWE Spring Summer 2025 Pre-Collection campaign that was a breadcrumb ‘diamond in the rough’ message.
The message was the arrival of Lilith, the mythological demon goddess believed to be Adam’s first wife. Lilith had no desire to be a tradwife, and she stormed out of the Garden of Eden.

Global Trade Routes Are Key to Jo Malone's History of Fragrance and Food Festing
Out of the kitchen and onto the portico, Jo Malone creates a delicious vision of high-style British dining, brought to life by Samuel Bradley [IG]. AOC means Jo Malone the brand, owned by Estee Lauder since 1999.
One of Princess Kate’s forever favorites is Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom cologne, which first debuted in 2003. The fragrance is described as a ‘shimmering garden oasis’ and ‘pure delight’, with a scent created with white floral notes of tangerine and orange blossom.
In a world where 45% of consumers say they are prepared to use natural ingredients or food products as substitutes in their beauty routines, foods influence on beauty and fragrance is higher impact than ever.
As Curion research points out, 40% of consumers now prioritize natural ingredients in beauty products.
Tracing the history of global trade routes is another focus of AOC, and Anne could be lost for days in new discoveries. AOC is infused with these learnings.

/
LVMH Titans Vuitton and Dior Create a Super Brands Team
I see these two LVMH titan brands — Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior — as bookends in this critical luxury business moment.
LVMH has a serious poker hand: Celine will debut in July with its new designer Michael Rider. The word in financial circles is that Loro Piana has edged out Celine in the 2.25-2.5 billion range.
If Fendi will meet the divine, luxury-brand goddess, LVMH financial rainmaker for real — in Rome, where her heart and spirit want to be, this team is playing on steroids, in this high-pressure, no mistakes allowed business moment.
All Roads Lead to Rome, But About Avignon . . .
Especially because AOC is so deep in writing about the Crusades, the birth of humanism and now Pope Leo as a foil to MAGA Republicans, my jaw-dropped as low as it ever has, when Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton Women roared into Avignon last week.
When LV roared out of town, the world’s biggest luxury brand had delivered a big message to all parties. To AOC LV said:
“For crying out loud, Anne. You love that our Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has Adam, Eve and Lilith installed in a relief. Do you seriously think that the French were not deeply involved in the launch of the Renaissance?
If we’re in another historical moment that changes the course of history, France is center stage. Capeesh?
We had to move the Papacy to Avignon from 1309 to 1377, because Rome looked like a MAGA rally on January 6, 2021. Why don’t you write up that story, Anne!”
Trust me, guys. It’s all in the hopper. ~ Anne

Bella Hadid's Memorable British Vogue June 2025 Interview with Giles Hattersley
In her British Vogue cover interview and fashion shoot, Bella is styled by IB Kamara in chain-mail from Etro and Balmain and embellished tulle from Dolce & Gabbana. Her silk crepe cover dress is Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.
High jewelry comes from Chopard — for whom Bella is a global ambassador. Earrings and super bangles are from Alexis Bittar.
Clearly, Bella Hadid and photographer Steven Meisel [IG] have excellent chemistry.
British Vogue’s IG descriptor of Bella also resonates. Bella Hadid “gives a riveting glimpse into her complex inner self.”
It’s an indisputable fact that a peculiarity of constitution or temperament surrounds the process of interviewing Bella Hadid. She is an idiosyncratic human being, which is not a negative comment.
Journalist Giles Hattersley is superb in how he handled Bella. In one moment of the interview, Bella really stepped in it with Anne — who still can’t believe how Hadid played right into the hands of the Trump Administration trying to get rid of women in high places.
I beg her mother Yolanda not to let Bella go to Washington with her controversial views, as she suggested she wanted to do.
