Raf Simons's Spring/Summer 2017 show at Pitti Immagine Uomo was a tribute to the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.

The collection transformed models into embodiments of Mapplethorpe himself, with oversized silhouettes featuring some of his most iconic portraits and muses.

A predominantly black-and-white palette, punctuated by pops of color, echoed the mood, beauty, and intensity of his photography.

Leather and metal met Simons' signature tailoring, resulting in a powerful tribute to Mapplethorpe and a beautiful fusion of fashion and art.

The Juniper Tree is a black and white arthouse fantasy steeped in magic, misogyny, and survival in medieval Iceland.

Margit, played by Björk, is the daughter of an accused witch and the younger sister of Katla, whose choices set the dark fairy tale into motion.

The film offers an early glimpse of Björk’s magnetism, most hauntingly in a spellbinding song.

Directed by Nietzchka Keene and adapted from a Brothers Grimm tale, it premiered at Sundance in 1990.

Call it Dior Noir.

Jonathan Anderson unveiled his first cruise collection for Dior last night at Los Angeles’ LACMA, transforming the David Geffen Galleries into a cinematic tableau.

Vintage cars were stationed like relics from a studio backlot, bathed in moody, film noir lighting. It was less a traditional show and more a scene, a deliberate nod to Old Hollywood and the enduring romance between movie royalty and Dior. The house has long dressed the silver screen’s elite, a legacy Anderson leaned into.

The collection itself felt like a conversation between eras. Dropped waists gave silhouettes a languid, almost 1930s ease. Tweeds arrived sharp and self possessed, while satin pieces slipped through the lineup with liquid glamour. The California poppy appeared throughout, with denim woven into the mix.

A collaboration with artist Ed Ruscha added a distinctly Los Angeles inflection, grounding the European heritage of Dior in West Coast cultural vernacular, a dialogue between Parisian couture and LA’s intellectual cool.

Bad Bunny single-handedly saved the 2026 Met Gala.

In a sea of forgettable looks, Benito came correct.

Is he making a statement?
