On the subject of Fendi, with Silvia Venturini Fendi being named honorary president and allowing a new creative director to take the reins of the Fendi luxury brand, AOC assumes that Maria Grazia Chiuri will step into the spotlight as the new creative head of women’s and probably men’s as well.
I’ve defended the Anderson decision when other women fashion writers were ripping into LVMH — going so far out on the limb as to say on WaPo: “Calm down. She’s going to Fendi. LVMH is not so stupid as to throw Chiuri to the curb, when some VIP women clients may not even like the new Dior.”
Jonathan Anderson taps Dior’s three newest ambassadors: Mia Goth, Greta Lee and Mikey Madison for the reveal on Monday of the new Lady Dior handbag campaign.
Photographer David Sims [IG] shot the campaign at the Pavillon de Musique de la Comtesse du Barry, the reception space in Louveciennes built for Madame du Barry, the official mistress of King Louis XV. There’s definitely a sense of continuity between Anderson’s debut men’s show in June and this campaign for a truly iconic Lady Dior handbag.
Aussie model Libby Taverner is blazing through fashionworld in rare form, first appearing as an exclusive in Prada’s F/W 25 show last February. Since then, Taverner has appeared in Fall/Winter 2025 campaigns for Saint Laurent; McQueen and Fendi.

Other members of this phenom ballbreakers cast include Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor and — wait for it — Kim Kardashian. Good goddess; as if Kardashian doesn’t have enough to do.
No wonder Disney had to settle with Jimmy Kimmel, with Hulu subscriptions flying cancelled in their faces right before this debut.

Le Smoking’s Embrace by Young Women
While Yves Saint Laurent was not the first designer to put women in a male-identified suit, Le Smoking was the first tuxedo specifically designed for women. In fact, the Parisian Yves Saint Laurent maison was financially prosperous in 1966, even though the initial Le Smoking dive into androgyny was a commercial flop. Exactly one suit was sold.

LOEWE [IG] creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez introduce a series of images, captured by photographer Talia Chetrit [IG] as visual vibes of their approach to expressing the DNA of the LOEWE brand.
“This teaser stands as an opening gesture, the outset of a new dialogue,” the American designers and founders of the Proenza Schouler brand expressed. “The campaign begins to define a tone, a spirit, and the beginnings of an intent.”
The expressed sensuality is clear to the naked eye and it teeters on an expressed homoeroticism for an opening statement.

She initially planned for an ovary removal but accepted the doctor's recommendation for a complete removal of her reproductive organs as a precaution against future cancer growth, especially the highly-deadly ovarian cancer.
