When Jack Kerouac penned his Beat Generation-defining novel On the Road – a quasi-autobiographical novel depicting the travels of narrator Sal Paradise and friend Dean Moriarty as they odd-job, drink, romance, bus and train around America and Mexico – he lifted jotted ideas from notebooks from the late 1940s, and typed his work onto a continuous reel of taped-together telepaper, so constructed to prevent a fracture in the creative flow.
Dior’s Kim Jones is a well-known bibliophile, and his extensive collection of books pays particular attention to the output of the Bloomsbury Group and the rebellious, lyrical, jazz-inspired, hedonistic and spontaneous creativity of the Beat Generation. For the Dior A/W 2022 men’s show in London .

Dior’s associations with Beat culture date back to 1960, when then young creative director Yves Saint Laurent, who was appointed to helm the house after the sudden death of its founder, created the Beat A/W Haute Couture collection, a largely monochromatic offering featuring crocodile leather jackets, which shocked the maison’s conservative clients. Jones’ modern take on the style of the Beat Generation alluded to clothing seen on Kerouac book covers, silhouettes for modern-day road tripping, like colourful Fair Isle jumpers, check shirts paired with slim ties, American football vests, hiking boots, beanie hats and reflective sunglasses.

Strolling down Fifth Avenue each holiday season is nothing short of magical, and presiding over all the elaborate window displays is New York’s retail grand dame, Bergdorf Goodman, whose own windows are newsworthy each and every year. But what does a storied institution do in a year like this one, where its denizens have scattered and uncertainty still hangs in the air? A holiday video, of course.
At each floor designers, including a dancing Michael Kors, Sergio Hudson, Christopher John Rodgers, and Emily Bode (with dog, Monday), are introduced. Props from Anderson’s archive also make an appearance, there are Mendl’s chocolate boxes from The Grand Budapest Hotel, red tracksuits from The Royal Tenenbaums, and a treasure map from Moonrise Kingdom, among other fan-favorite Easter eggs.
Just like Anderson’s films, Bergdorf Goodman’s campaign brings holiday delight to its shoppers, wherever they may be this year.

For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma. He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture.
Through it all, his work ethic, infinite curiosity, and optimism never wavered. Virgil was driven by his dedication to his craft and to his mission to open doors for others and create pathways for greater equality in art and design. He often said, “Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself,” believing deeply in the power of art to inspire future generations.
We thank you all for your love and support, and we ask for privacy as we grieve and celebrate Virgil’s life.

“Balenciaga continues to twist and subvert the format of a fashion show, this season sending its models down the red carpet in front of awaiting paps as they entered Paris’s Theatre du Chatelet ahead of an undisclosed screening.” – DAZED
VOGUE – “If you’d have told us at the start of Paris Fashion Week that we’d see Chief Wiggum strutting down the Balenciaga catwalk, we might have said, “Eat my shorts.” But walk the runway – baguette in hand – Clancy did, along with The Simpsons family.”
Yup, the entire town of Springfield got in on the Paris Fashion Week action in a Simpsons short made exclusively for the reveal of Balenciaga’s new collection. It even features Anna Wintour and Demna Gvasalia as themselves.
