Paris-based Fanny Latour-Lambert has photographed big names for GQ—Buscemi, Kipchoge, Glover—but her latest subjects are comparative unknowns: the stylish locals we found on the streets of Mexico City. The guerrilla casting took her to clubs, tattoo parlors, and similar haunts. “I always try to put the character first,” she says, “and hopefully the personality of the people I shoot shines through.” Office Grails KENTARO TAKASUGI Senior fashion editor, GQ Japan “This back-tobasics Ralph blazer is a staple I’ll love for a long time.” ANGELO MITAKOS Fashion editor, British GQ “A pastel tracksuit and jacket, Uggs, and a Kangol hat are all I need to become Paris Hilton!” ANTHONY O’BANER JR. Assistant to the global editorial director, GQ US “This Barbie only wears black wide-leg trousers.”…

PIQUANT PARTNERS Marni has long been the most playful house in high fashion. Its new collaborative capsule with No Vacancy Inn—the streetwear-label-slash-DJ-collective led by Acyde Odunlami, Brock Korsan, and Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory—sends that eccentricity into overdrive, with standouts like a slouchy button-up covered in swirling, painterly stars and a freaky beach hat with a pair of eyeholes carved into its immense straw brim.…

HOW MEXICO CITY FOUND ITS GROOVE A local writer breaks down the capital’s new energy THERE’S AN ENIGMATIC figure who looms large in Mexican history: La Malinche, the Nahua enslaved woman who was given to Hernán Cortés as a tribute, eventually served as his interpreter and right hand, and some say, enabled her people’s demise. A narrative emerged that painted her as a traitor, and the word malinchista became used here to refer to the sort of person who displays a preference for foreign things, and was, until recently, an apt descriptor for the capital’s fashion scene, where style has largely been conflated with European sophistication. But something transformative is happening in Mexico City. Walking around certain neighborhoods, you can feel a subversive spirit. Foreigners have been descending onto the…

ENGLISH AFTERNOON TEA requires a level of decorum. But in a South Kensington hotel so posh there’s no signage outside, Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine gleefully ignore the unspoken rules of etiquette when the latter pulls out his phone. “I need to find this video!” Galitzine says, feverishly swiping his screen. “I’m sorry, it’s my favorite video on TikTok.” The two star in the new film Red, White & Royal Blue, an Amazon Prime adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s absurdly popular novel about a clandestine romance between Prince Henry of Wales, played by Galitzine, and Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the president of the United States, played by Zakhar Perez. Given the international nature of the story, we’ve been talking about accents—specifically, about whether Galitzine, who is British, had to…

MAX BÜSSER, THE founder of the watch brand Maximilian Büsser & Friends, typically produces fewer than 300 watches a year. His M.A.D. Gallery is no bigger than an average New York apartment but is stuffed with whirring machines. Büsser, who founded MB&F in 2005, curates these objects from disparate makers and sells them here. He shows me some of his favorites, including a dancing chandelier and an accordion-fan sculpture that appears to breathe on its own. “Actually, the price is stupidly low,” Büsser says while admiring the contraption. “$30,000.” He is fascinated by these objects, which far out-number the store’s watches that sit inside vitrines at the center of the shop. “I deconstruct traditional watch-making and reconstruct it into a 3D kinetic art piece,” he says. “Inspired by a bulldog,…

RYAN GOSLING SUBSCRIBES to what he calls an escape-room style of being an actor. This is a little theoretical, because he’s never actually been to an escape room, and he’s not totally sure what happens inside of them. “Maybe I should do one,” he says, “to see if this really works.” But the general idea is: You’re thrown into a particular set of circumstances and you’ve got to find your way out. Maybe you show up on set one day and it’s raining when it’s not supposed to be raining, Gosling says, “or this person doesn’t want to say any of that dialogue, or the neighbor’s got a leaf blower and they’re not turning it off.” What do you do next? Over time, Gosling has discovered that this approach might…

HIGH ABOVE Canal Street in New York’s Chinatown neighborhood, the early spring sun is shining through antique lace curtains. Emily Adams Bode Aujla is sitting on a velvet-cushioned couch in her former apartment, which she and her husband, the interior designer Aaron Aujla, recently vacated. The airy loft is now the latest expansion of the Bode-verse: the brand’s new fine-tailoring studio, where clients can get fitted for suiting and other custom garments. This is in addition to Bode’s NYC flagship store around the corner and a smaller tailor shop next door; The River, a Bode-fied bar Emily and Aaron co-own close by; a 3,000-square-foot shop in Los Angeles; and several planned retail stores elsewhere in the world. The stores all stock Bode’s rapidly expanding and evolving ready-to-wear collections, which are richly…

ONE SUNNY MORNING NOT too long ago, a dozen or so new hires arrive at the headquarters of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps in Vista, California. They’ve shown up to a fairly standard-looking suburban offce park to be initiated into their standard-sounding roles in liquid-soap production, shipping, and regional sales. But the normalcy ends quickly on Planet Bronner. They park their cars in a sea of solar-powered electric-vehicle chargers and then walk past a company-tended garden, where fruits and vegetables are anyone’s for the taking. Inside, they are greeted warmly—and perhaps thrown off guard a bit—by the Dr. Bronner’s welcome wagon, a crew of impossibly upbeat humans who can best be described as vibey. These cultural ambassadors, when they are not planning their annual Burning Man pilgrimages, wear tiedye mechanic coveralls…

YOU SHOW UP JET-LAGGED at his front door in Seattle, Dave Matthews will hand-press you a really good cup of coffee. The beans are local, from a shop he loves, where his favorite barista never serves him a to-go latte without first adding a little latte-art penis on top of the foam. “Which makes me feel pretty special,” Matthews says with a grin. ¶ Today Dave Matthews is wearing a dark Western-cut flannel, Sk8-Hi Vans with tube socks, and some tactical-looking cargo pants that could be from Target but might also be some high-end tactical-pant brand that only he and maybe Bono are up on. (Hard to say with tactical pants.) In person, Matthews—who turned 56 in January—is like a supermodel, in that he looks severely, stoically beautiful from one…
