Digital cover story: ‘The Studio'
There are so many things we can't agree on these days, right down to which L.A. restaurant invented the French dip sandwich. (Correct answer: Philippe the Original. It's right there in the name.) But there is one matter, I believe, that we can all see eye to eye on, a fact that unites us as Angelenos: LAX is the earthly embodiment of hell. I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. How do you cope with what my dear friend Sal Saperstein calls 'LAX bull—'? Other than driving to Burbank, Long Beach or Orange County, or just plain driving and not getting on an airplane. Please tell me. I need to know. The idea was simple. Talk to the four Emmy-nominated actors from the delightful Apple TV+ comedy 'The Studio' — that'd be Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O'Hara and Seth Rogen — and ask how their characters navigate and thrive in Los Angeles. We came up with about a dozen questions and then turned them loose. We ran through a lot of orders of chicken paillard (make sure it's pounded within an inch of its life), Musso and Frank martinis and dreams of having a dish named after you at Dan Tana's in order to arrive at some answers we hope you'll enjoy and, who knows, maybe use. Barinholtz, for instance, has never summoned someone to his house to hook him up with an IV after he hit it a bit too hard the night before. But he has friends who swear by it. 'I'll just drink a little less and not have to put a needle in my skin,' he tells me. But you know who from 'The Studio' has done the IV thing? Evan Goldberg, one of the show's creators and, with Rogen, its co-director. Not because he was hungover, mind you. Goldberg and his wife had planned a trip, just the two of them, eight days away from their two young children (whom they love dearly) and Goldberg started coming down with something three days before they were set to leave. On a friend's recommendation, he went to this 'weird, trendy, odd place with cool music playing,' and they hooked him up to an IV. And he didn't get sick. 'It saved my vacation,' Goldberg says. We asked the cast to share their characters' go-to wellness tips — 'Ayurvedic,' Hahn as marketing guru Maya Mason answered, 'but only because you can s— a lot. For her, it's all about the old-school colonic' — but I learned that most of the show's strange, 'health-forward' plotlines come from Goldberg's own experiences. 'Face lasers and red-light therapy; smoothies nonstop, smoothies carried in trendy mugs with gigantic straws ... I love that stuff,' Goldberg says. 'Cryo freeze comes out, I'm hitting the cryo freeze. I've never tried the red-light therapy, but I want to.' What's the weirdest smoothie you've tried, I ask. 'Ant,' Goldberg answers. Excuse me? 'I had a cup of liquefied ants once,' Goldberg says. 'It was at, like, a Chinese medicine place. And my buddy, he was a rabbi at the time, and he was like, 'Let me take you to this health place to have this super healthy drink.' And it was liquefied ants. And it tasted f— terrible. And I did not feel healthier afterward.' There is no close second place to that answer, I tell him. 'This is the first time in my life I've had the chance to share this and it felt great,' Goldberg says. He then asks AI about the nutritional value of ants. 'They're very healthy and can provide you a boost of energy,' Goldberg tells me. 'They have essential nutrients, but it is important to know some contain toxins, so you gotta be careful.' In other words, don't do this at home. Leave it to the professionals.

Giorgio Armani Looks Back on 50 Years in Fashion
'I'm not one for self-congratulation,' Giorgio Armani says, 'but I can't deny I'm proud to have reached such an important milestone.' The Italian legend is referring to his fashion house hitting the half-century mark this year (he also happens to have recently cleared another personal benchmark: turning 91). His modesty aside, the fashion world, and particularly the modern-day concept of a 'lifestyle brand,' owes a major debt to Armani. As he himself admits, 'my vision…extends beyond fashion,' with Armani hotels, residences, restaurants, clubs, and cafés now dotting the globe. The designer compares creating a custom living space to designing couture, 'where the encounter between client and creator brings something rare and unique to life.' And he delights in bringing a taste of Italy to the world. (His favorite dish at his nearly year-old restaurant in Manhattan? The risotto alla Milanese, naturalmente .) Olivier Kervern All looks, Giorgio Armani. His expansive vision extends across the Atlantic, all the way to Hollywood, where he clocked in to the dream factory early on, dressing Richard Gere in American Gigolo , Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street , and countless red-carpet stars. (He names Diane Keaton, accepting her Annie Hall Oscar in 1978, and Jodie Foster, in a cream-colored suit at the ceremony in 1992, as two favorites.) Gen Z has embraced him just as much as golden-era stars did; Mikey Madison attended the Critics Choice Awards in a vintage Armani gown from 1992, while Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya have turned to the Milanese master for their own star-making moments. The designer says he's 'immensely proud that the younger generations are seeking out vintage Armani. It means that what I created 20 or 30 years ago still speaks to an audience that may not even have been born yet.' Olivier Kervern Our current fascination with minimalism has also sent many younger acolytes flocking to Armani's collections. 'My work is defined by a constant process of simplification,' he says. 'I strip away to add value and meaning. It's a more challenging path than it might seem, because simplicity is never simplistic.' However, he doesn't consider his oeuvre to be quiet luxury, which, he finds, 'tends toward the very simple, almost elementary. The kind of subtraction that interests me adds meaning to a garment; it doesn't strip it of substance, but rather removes it from the fleeting whims of passing trends.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern His career, too, has proceeded in that kind of steady arc: He started his own brand at age 41, after working for labels like Cerruti and Loewe. 'My path began later, yes, but that gave me the right awareness and maturity to enter a complex and fast-moving world,' he says. Olivier Kervern One Armani hallmark that's made a comeback in recent seasons is the tailored suit, which returned to runways with a vengeance as customers tired of dressed-up athleisure. 'I think the fashion cycle has naturally brought us back to a new sense of composure and elegance,' the designer says. And the suit is 'a garment that projects great strength and authority for women, both in and out of the workplace.' Someone who's worn Armani's suits with panache is Cate Blanchett, who says it's the style she feels most at home in. ('My most-loved Armani look always seems to be the last one I wore,' she says.) When she asks Armani if she can wear a look from the menswear collection, 'he smiles, gently rolls his eyes, and says, 'Let me do something.' And he will present a riff on the masculine, but for my form.' Olivier Kervern Armani has long championed the work of emerging designers in the Milan scene. And while much of fashion may be experimenting with catwalk alternatives or storming the metaverse, he remains a firm believer in the power of the IRL runway show. 'Clothes must be seen live, on bodies in motion. The real question is whether shows today are still conceived for the clothes or purely as moments of media entertainment,' he says. 'I prefer substance over spectacle, which can become damaging if it's an end in itself. But sometimes, I feel very alone in defending this position.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern For fall 2025, Armani went back to his roots, quite literally: He titled his collection 'Radici.' He wanted to riff on his own history as 'a way to imagine the new and dress the moment. This doesn't mean I am rigid or repetitive. I observe the world and follow the shifts in needs and lifestyles.' As Blanchett says, 'Mr. Armani innately understands flow: the movement of thought, of emotion, and of course of the body.' Olivier Kervern He has ample reason for going back to the old ways. 'I still see fashion drifting away from its true purpose, which is, essentially, to clothe people in a way that enhances life, redefines roles, and reshapes imagery. Today, revenue goals on the one hand, and communication for its own sake on the other, have distorted everything. The clothes have become secondary—or, worse, they've become mere concepts,' he says. 'And too much is produced, in a constant cycle that diminishes value. Olivier Kervern 'The legacy I hope to leave is one of commitment, respect, and attention to people and reality. That's where it all begins.'

"Os Encantados" by Romane Iskaria
Self portrait Her work is also rooted in a personal connection: the one she has maintained since adolescence with the region of Paraíba, her father's homeland. This emotional and familial bond nourishes an artistic and spiritual quest, giving rise to "Os Encantados", a project at the crossroads of photography, oral storytelling, and historical-anthropological analysis. This work sheds light on the histories, struggles, and spiritualities of the Jurema communities, while challenging dominant narratives about Brazilian identity. It celebrates a living heritage and tribute to those who inhabit, defend, and dream this land, a world both enchanted and deeply grounded in reality." About the artist Romane Iskaria is a French photographer and artist working in Brussels, Belgium (1997). She graduated with a Master's degree in photography from ENSAV La Cambre in 2022 and a DNA (National Diploma in Plastic Arts) from INSEAAM Beaux Arts in Marseille in 2018. She also completed an exchange at the U-LAVAL Visual Arts school in Quebec, Canada. The photographer highlights the injustices and inequalities of invisible communities with a documentary and fictional approach. Her images, specific to 'Care', tell a story and allow her subjects to become aware of their painful stories. The artist uses photography and the field of video, but also textiles, sound, and sculpture to create immersive installations. She tells stories that take the form of a long-term investigation across several territories. Romane replays specific rituals and stories that also transcend borders, addressing questions around migration and exile. The photographer creates plastic forms allowing her to subvert the codes of documentary. Romane is laureate of TIFF 2024 Emerging Belgian Photography, by FOMU Fotomuseum Antwerpen and the european platform FUTURES Photography.
