Anderson, and Wintour, and Sanchez...Oh, My!
What a WEEK for fashion.
Runway shows in Paris, Vogue says RIP to the EIC, and big feelings around a Dolce & Gabbana bridal moment.
It was quite a week in the world of fashion, and these are the top 3 moments worth a quick Mixed Prints roundup.
Jonathan Anderson Makes Cargo Shorts Couture at Highly Anticipated Dior Debut
Ever since he was named Artistic Director of Dior Men earlier this year after an 11-year, game-changing run at Loewe, the fashion crowd has been eagerly awaiting Jonathan Anderson’s debut collection for Dior.
As runway reviews rolled in last week, editors cheered Anderson’s take on Spring/Summer 2026 for the fashion house, which “dialogues with history while speaking a distinctly contemporary language, setting a compelling new direction for the brand’s future,” wrote Hypebeast’s Joyce Li.
Standout items included the classic Dior Bar Jacket reimagined in a donegal tweed as a nod to the designer’s Irish heritage, and a pair of…cargo shorts.
"They were closer to couture, made of 15 meters of cotton drill fabric, intricately pleated in the back to resemble the folds of a famous Christian Dior dress design,” Samuel Hine wrote in his review for GQ.
Lauren Sanchez Marries Jeff Bezos, Elicits Rage in Dolce & Gabbana
On June 27th, former journalist Lauren Sanchez married billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in an extremely fancy, multi-million dollar Venice wedding and the internet is very mad about it. Vogue magazine, which has been evolving its editorial content away from high fashion and more toward celebrity and pop culture fashion for about a decade now, did a very predictable thing by running a feature on the making of Sanchez’s custom dress for a digital cover story, and that made fashion people double mad.
Imagine: Rich people doing rich people things. Insane!
The bride wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress with a corseted bodice, apparently inspired by the dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film, Houseboat. The high-neck, long-sleeve gown was a departure from Sanchez’s usual red carpet and event looks, which lean more
toward—how do I put this delicately—an elevated hoe phase of sorts.
I’m truly indifferent about Lauren Sanchez (never met her!), but I personally think her wedding dress was stunning, spot on brand for Dolce & Gabbana (over the top), and she wore it well.
As if a woman with those lips cares what anyone thinks.
Anna Wintour “Steps Down” From American Vogue, But Not Really
Heads exploded (including mine) when I saw the news last week that Anna Wintour, was stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue, after 37 years at the helm. Here’s the thing though—she’s not really going anywhere.
Wintour will retain her title as Global Editorial Director for all Vogue titles, and will remain Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast, according to WWD.
"Essentially, she is retaining her power and giving up the time-consuming daily management of one magazine, the better to rule over them all,” wrote Vanessa Friedman of The New York Times.
What I find most interesting (and kind of sad), is that the Editor-in-Chief role at American Vogue is going away entirely, and—like the other global Vogue titles—will be replaced with a Head of Editorial Content who will report to Wintour.
To the lucky future hire we say, gird your loins!
