Heritage is reimagined for today’s rhythms: Fall’s freshest kicks are a dynamic mashup, sampling the stripped-back lines of ’70s runners, the swagger of early-aughts low-tops, and the polish of classic dress shoes. Blending hip-hop attitude with tailoring savoir-faire, Pharrell Williams drops the LV Buttersoft in buttery soft leather printed with Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram. Loewe and Fendi cue up the Ballet Runner 2.0 and Flex, respectively, elevating minimal silhouettes with luxe materials from calfskin to croc embossing. And Prada spins its 2005 Montecarlo, a featherlight deep cut, now with bold topstitching.…

On a hot summer day, Henry Zankov arrives at his New York City showroom cool and collected. For a man who’s known for his riotous use of color, he’s dealing in subtleties today, dressed in a light striped linen shirt and a pair of long beige shorts. But color—naming it, combining it, and contrasting it—is never far from his mind. As we sit down to chat, my outfit of the day—a mustard top, brown linen pants, and kelly green shoes—catches his eye. ”Immediately my mind goes to Portugal,” he laughs. “Color is so much information: When I see it, I go somewhere else. It’s connected to this sensory feeling.” Zankov, 44, launched his eponymous brand as a six-sweater capsule collection in 2020. “It was almost like an art project,” he…

By Hollywood standards, Jeremy Strong is an enigma. He’s as known to immerse himself completely in his roles as he is to step onto a red carpet in a head-to-toe monochromatic look, bucket hat included. He’s also a literary sponge, famous for quoting, verbatim, those who have inspired him; over the course of our 45-minute conversation, he’ll reference the wise words of at least six legends in their respective fields, from painter Frank Stella to philosopher Francis Bacon. But no matter how much internet chatter surrounds Strong’s every magazine interview or sartorial choice, the actor, 46, prefers to ignore the discourse entirely. “I’m aware that there are opinions about me, but I try not to think too much about how I’m perceived,” he says, Zooming in from Copenhagen, where he…

Kyle MacLachlan never planned to go into acting. It wasn’t until he saw a student-run production in college that he even considered it. “I had never seen that quality of theater, and it blew my mind,” he recalls. “I was like, I want to do that.” After graduating from the University of Washington’s Professional Actor Training program, he got a job at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. As he began landing small roles, MacLachlan, now 66, knew that he was on to something—and so did his father. “When I finally stopped asking my dad for money, that signaled to him that things were going well,” says MacLachlan, who grew up in Yakima, Washington. His mother, Catherine, was involved in community arts programs and “nudged” him to pursue his creative interests; his…

The 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris set out to prove French mastery of design, but it far surpassed expectations. Over six months, more than 16 million visitors roamed the sprawling fair along the Seine, with modernist-paneled pavilions showcasing a heady mix of Roaring Twenties architecture, interiors, fashion, and jewelry. The bold geometries of Art Deco were catapulted onto the world stage. A century later, the spirit of Art Deco returns on Fall/Winter 2025 runways, where graphic patterns and stylized motifs appeared everywhere from Lanvin and Amiri to Louis Vuitton and Hermès, and at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. 1925–2025: One Hundred Years of Art Deco, opening October 22, assembles nearly 1,000 objects highlighting the era’s unique fusion of modernity and opulence, from a Clément…

Paging Colin Firth. Fall’s trending tailoring silhouette is old old school: the tailcoat, a cutaway garment with its back sweeping into tails, last seen as daywear in Regency-era England. Mr. Darcy makes an unlikely—but not unwelcome—style muse. The timing is apt, with the iconic BBC version of Pride and Prejudice turning 30, and Jane Austen’s 250th birthday approaching. To carry the tailcoat beyond Pemberley’s hedged paths, designers swapped breeches for shorts or trousers and reimagined crisp white shirting and cravats. Dries Van Noten adds sequined collars, while Dunhill teams theirs with scarves and bow ties. Comme des Garçons Homme Plus goes rainbow with a patterned button-up. For those without tailcoats in their wardrobe, Dior Homme offers a clever styling hack: fasten a waistcoat to a longline jacket and leave one…

Jack Carlson has a story he likes to tell about George H.W. Bush. Back in 1980, during his first run at the White House, Bush was giving a speech at Yale, his alma mater, and being heckled by some students. At one point, someone shouted out that Bush was nothing more than a “Brooks Brothers Republican”—an out-of-touch, self-regarding, Ivy League smoothie. Bush, gently offended by the implication, calmly opened his sport coat to reveal a different logo on its inner lining. “I wear J. Press, thank you.” The uprising was immediately quelled. “I love that,” says Carlson, who has just been minted as the new creative director and president at the 123-year-old outfitter. “The humor comes because J. Press is arguably even more Ivy League; it’s the even more…

Fusing German craftsmanship with Italian automotive elegance, Montblanc’s Meisterstück Great Masters Ferrari Classica pen is a keen blend of style and performance. Inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, it’s crafted from mahogany with platinum guilloché detailing, and features a cap top that depicts Montblanc’s frosted peak emblem outlined in Ferrari’s signature Modena yellow. The design takes cues from the grand tourer’s Nardi steering wheel, recalling its distinctive dished spokes, wooden rim, and vibrant horn button.…

Known for his attention to detail, Paul du Pré de Saint Maur is a student of the world. The French architect and interior designer, 30, studied in the United Kingdom and Italy before returning to Paris, where he trained under world-renowned interior architect Pierre Yovanovitch; that apprenticeship eventually led him to New York, where he took on his first major project in the Hamptons at just 21. Since then, du Pré de Saint Maur has taken on a creative partner, architect Ahyun Claire Son, and opened his own eponymous studio. Today, the global reach of his designs spans from Burgundy, France, to Busan, South Korea. There is, however, one historical period that has influenced du Pré de Saint Maur’s work most. He often pays homage to the Italian Renaissance’s architecture,…

Yohji Yamamoto is a name that resonates in the fashion hall of fame like a legend, a secret passed down among initiates who understand his story, his ethics, and his craft. To wear Yohji is to be part of a select group of intellectuals and creatives. Over a career spanning more than 50 years—Yamamoto, now 81, rose to prominence in the 1980s, alongside his former girl-friend Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons—the designer has carved out a space for himself that defies trends and the ebb and flow of consumer tastes. He has transcended the boundaries of gender, function, and color, turning his use of black into a way of life. In his hands, fashion is a poetic meditation on the passage of time. Each season, a direct reference to…
