VANITIES

BOY Next Door • Onetime Y.A. heartthrob NOAH CENTINEO broadens his horizons

Leather WEATHER • Miuccia Prada, a designer’s designer to her core, grew up trawling thrift stores for vintage pieces and developing an abiding love of supershort hemlines. In her fall-winter 2022 collection for Miu Miu, she returned to her roots in more ways than one: an array of internet-breaking mini shorts and skirts paraded down the runway, accompanied by a limited selection of one-of-a-kind upcycled embroidered and embellished leather jackets, each made from vintage pieces sourced secondhand. What’s old is brand-new again.

Bug OUT • The ancient Egyptians saw the scarab as an emblem of rebirth. This collaboration between Judith Leiber and Lanvin, created from an original mold cast by Leiber herself almost 40 years before her death in 2018, marries that storied symbolism with the more modern influence of Art Deco architecture. Taking as its base Leiber’s long-favored brass box, the bag winks Jazz Age glamour from each of its more than 10,000 European crystals, which took an artisan nearly a week to bead by hand. Long live a beetle as bright as the Chrysler Building, as big as the Ritz.

Perfect UNION • Take as muse the chicest aspects of the masculine, the feminine, and everything in between—or beyond—with straight silhouettes, creamy loafers, dapper trousers, and a for-everyone scent

Blonde on BLONDE • With Marilyn Monroe on the big screen and Barbie nostalgia at its peak, blonde hair returns to the public imagination—this time, with care

Sight and SOUND • With a new album and an experimental eye for makeup, musician Rina Sawayama expands her vision

L.A. Story • Perfumehead pens a love letter to Hollywood with its pop-culture-inspired scents.

Table TALK • A lush new entertaining guide finds inspiration everywhere

SIX PACK • Jazz two ways, surveillance states, and more new fiction

Off-screen • Nonfiction works by film stars: two posthumous, and one by an actor in the thick of her career.

Runway MOVES • In the world of legacy fashion houses, each designer appointment marks a new era, whether the collections become soul-shifting or fall short of a match made in heaven. Ferragamo recently appointed 27-year-old Maximilian Davis as creative director following a year of restructuring, while the late Virgil Abloh left behind a void at Louis Vuitton menswear that’s yet to be filled (strong bets rest on Grace Wales Bonner or Martine Rose). Here’s a primer on some of the major swaps and shifts, from accessories to menswear to overall creative direction, that have shaped today’s fashion landscape.

Radical REASON • Lis Smith has a plan to get the Dems out of disarray

REEL TALK • OLIVIA WILDE directed, produced, and acted in her unnerving new thriller, Don’t Worry Darling—all while navigating attacks on her personal life. A frank interview about Hollywood, power, and, yes, Harry Styles

THE COURT of KING JAMES • At home with LeBRON and his family, where star power runneth over

AFTER SUCH...
