Tom Holland gets a confidence boost when he's wearing Prada
Tom Holland gets a confidence boost whenever he steps out wearing clothes by Prada. The Spider-Man: Homecoming star is the new face of the band's Paradigme fragrance and he's revealed he's been working with the design house for many years and always relies on their outfits to make him feel good if he has to walk a red carpet. He told WWD: "I've worked with Prada for years now and continue to opt for their clothes on carpets - an environment that usually makes me uncomfortable, and Prada [has] never failed to fill me with confidence when I'm stepping out. "I instantly felt the same the first time I discovered Prada Paradigme ... "I like things understated. But I do think a good scent can make a difference. It's like ... an invisible accessory" Tom also revealed he doesn't usually wear fragrance but he's realised it can also help give him a mood boost, telling GQ magazine: "When I first sprayed it [Paradigme], it was very woody, very earthy, and very wonderful, actually. "What I love about fragrances is how it can connect you to specific memories. Sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I pull my favourite one out of my drawer and it helps me remember the good times ... " Tom added: "I like one spritz on either side of my neck, and then two on my left wrist – I kind of rub my wrists together. And once I've got my clothes on, I might do a final spritz over the top, but nothing too extensive." Fellow actor Robert Pattinson is also the face of a fragrance after starring in a campaign for Dior Homme, and he previously told GQ he has a "ritual" as he likes to "spray it in the air and walk through it". Tom said of his pal's perfume ritual: "Of course he does. I love Rob to death, he's a good friend of mine – we just made another movie together. "I can absolutely picture him, coiffing his perfect hair, walking through a mist that he's created for himself. He's very dramatic and very artsy, and it seems exactly like the kind of thing that he'd do."

Yes, It's OK to Care More About Your Kid's Clothes Than Your Own
Among my friends, the reaction to Rihanna's sons Riot and RZA wearing custom Dior Homme on a recent red carpet fell into two camps: those aghast at the ludicrous spend on clothes the boys will surely grow out of in months, and those, like me, who wish we also had a direct line to Jonathan Anderson when our children need a special-occasion outfit. I kid, somewhat—and anyway, Rihanna was probably gifted the bespoke looks. But what fascinated me most about the debate over the boys' Dior was who took what side. The mothers in the chat? They were almost uniformly swooning over the tiny, double-breasted blazer and skinny pink tie. You'd think it would be the opposite—that being a parent would force you to confront how dangerous it is to put a child into white shorts (white anything, really); how many fruit snacks it would take to coax your newly mobile toddler into a jacket, wherever it came from. But I'll take the liberty of speaking for parents here: Yes, we are aware…but sometimes, we do it anyway. While Rihanna herself was similarly resplendent on that carpet, dressed in a Saint Laurent gown with an olive green sash, I'd venture to say that most parents I know plan their children's outfits with far more meticulous care than their own, even for major events. But why, you may ask, when kids barely fit into clothes for a season, and—perhaps more importantly—they are mostly oblivious to labels (unless it's the itchy kind)? For one thing, anyone who has given birth knows that in the post-partum months, none of your own clothes fit. Your breasts are swollen to one, two, maybe even three cup sizes larger than what you normally wear. Regardless of what kind of birth you've had, you're sore somewhere down there, which makes soft pants a necessity, not just a preference. And, most likely, there's just … more of you. I'll head criticism off at the pass: yes, birth is miraculous. Yes, my body can do wonderful things, like growing a human. But, Christ, it kind of sucks when you can't fit into your favorite pair of baggy jeans months and months after delivery. And so, you hunt for a modicum of control in this new life, one made up of nursing bras and shirts perma-stained with breastmilk. This is not the moment for debating whether to buy into low-rise jeans (again)—but does that mean you're forbidden from caring about fashion? That because you're now raising a child, you're required to pay attention only to the big stuff, like sleep schedules and skin-to-skin? New parents, please read this sentence more than once: You are allowed to dress your baby however you damn well please.

Why is Jonathan Anderson's first Dior show at Paris Fashion Week so significant?

And for the few days before it took place, Dior's new creative director Jonathan Anderson had been dropping clues on social media about the contents of his first collection for the fabled French house. In a virtual version of Hansel and Gretel, the 40-year-old Northern Irishman expertly teased fashion fans with little peeks of what is in store for them when he finally lifts the curtain. And even the invitation to the show in the 17th-century splendour of Les Invalides has gone viral. His eclectic clues started with him posting Andy Warhol's photographs of the American socialite Lee Radziwill – the sister of Jackie Kennedy – and artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. He said that both New Yorkers are his "epitome of style". While the trail of posts started in the Big Apple, it seemed to be ending at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris – particularly in the cutesy hamlet Marie Antoinette had built in the grounds so she could play at being a peasant. There were also snaps of a gilt clock in the Queen's Bedchamber, a Dior ring set in one of the hamlet's apple trees and a brilliantly witty measuring tape in the shape of a snail perched on a leaf. Read more: Jonathan Anderson will now lead Dior men's, women's and couture – can he do it? Tied in knots Anderson also posted two rather endearing videos of French football star Killian Mbappe putting on a tie and trying – and failing – to knot a dickie bow. "It is not that bad, no?" the Real Madrid star and Dior ambassador asked, before admitting the fail with a laugh, "It is (that bad)?" Anderson – a lover of literature – also seems to have returned to his homeland for inspiration, with three new versions of the brand's Book Tote bags. The first has "Dracula" in blood-red letters in a nod to Dublin writer Bram Stoker while the "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" bag pays homage to French novelist Pierre Choderlos De Laclos. The enigmatic invitation to the show – a porcelain plate adorned with three eggs – has already gone viral on social media. Anderson's arrival at Dior had been flagged for months after he turned around the rather fusty Spanish label Loewe, which is also owned by the French luxury giant LVMH. Just weeks after he was named to head Dior Homme, he was also appointed creative director of the Dior's women's collections and its haute couture. The last person to have such a free rein at the brand was its founder Christian Dior. Read more: A look back at Jonathan Anderson's star-studded legacy of dressing celebrities Tricky time With the luxury sector's once bumper profits plummeting, Anderson's appointment is an attempt to renew the fashion house after nine years under the Italian Maria Grazia Chiuri. Anderson, the son of former Irish rugby captain Willie Anderson, trained at the London School of Fashion after starting on the shop floor at a Dublin department store. His first big break was landing a job in Prada's marketing department before launching his own brand, JW Anderson, in 2008. "I think he is one of the most gifted talents of his generation," said Alice Feillard, men's buyer at Galeries Lafayette, Europe's biggest department store group. "We saw what he achieved at Loewe – a really remarkable and brilliant body of work." "He is one of the most talented and undoubtedly prolific designers of recent years," Adrien Communier, fashion editor for GQ France , said. "There is something childlike yet very intellectual" about his collections, he added. "Very cheeky, very bold... and really intriguing." Feillard said bringing together Dior's three lines "makes sense". "Dior Homme and Dior Femme are almost two different brands. I think now the real challenge for the brand is to establish a somewhat more coherent identity", she said. – AFP

The Heart Of Men's Fashion Week S/S 2026 Was All In The Details

(Photo by Kuba Dabrowski/WWD via Getty Images) WWD via Getty Images Taking cues from womenswear—and the maximalist silhouettes that dominated the runways of New York, Paris, Milan and London last fall—the collection of garments displayed at Men's Fashion Week were nothing shy of experimental. Designers embracing experimentation struck an elegant balance between classic style staples and elevated craftsmanship with a modern use of innovative techniques, textures and textiles. Even before the run of back-to-back shows began, all attention was fixed upon Jonathan Anderson as followers of the fan-favorite designer eagerly anticipated what Loewe-honed distinction he would bring to his newly-appointed position as creative director of Dior.

With exaggerates silhouettes and bold colorways, Anderson brought new whimsy to the traditionally formal structure of the Dior runway—honoring the brand's heritage with subtle references to archetypal men's suiting, knitwear and outerwear.

(Photo by Kuba Dabrowski/WWD via Getty Images) WWD via Getty Images In a press, Dior defined its newest menswear collection through the lens of one central noun: joy. 'Joy in the art of dressing: a spontaneous, empathetic collusion of then and now, of relics of the past, things rediscovered in the archives, classic tropes of class, and pieces that have endured the test of time,' the brand said. A model backstage at the Dior Homme spring ready-to-wear 2026 fashion show as part of Paris Men's Fashion Week. (Photo by Kuba Dabrowski/WWD via Getty Images) WWD via Getty Images Anderson's 'reconstruction of formality'—another well-phrased description of the brand's newest collection courtesy of the brand's own promotional materials—anchors its playfulness with structurally surprising garments against casual menswear staples. Wide leg trousers copped to the ankle and adorned with cargo pockets; an oversized collar and bold-printed tie styled against a crisp button-up shirt; a sickly green sweater-coat hybrid layered over ripped jeans and striped tube socks—all demonstrated the directional shift Dior is taking towards the loud, the vibrant and the interesting. Echoing Anderson's playful use of textiles, Japanese luxury brand Sacai lined its Paris runway show with similarly creative looks that utilized an exaggerated sense of scale—adding colorful variety to an otherwise minimalistic palette of garments. The brand transformed timeless basics such as navy blue dress shirts and pinstriped blazers were reimagined with off-kilter cuts. Flipping the trouser pattern on its axis to dramatize its angularity and amplifying the width of a shirtsleeve to double its usual thickness were a few simple ways Sacai was able to integrate a new variety of shapes into conventional closet staples—disrupting both clothing symmetry and the expectation of audiences. In its show notes, Sacai—currently at the helm of founder Chitose Abe—described its menswear collection as a reinterpretation of traditional design archetypes in 'unexpected and disruptive ways.' 'By challenging conventional notions of fashion and blending disparate ideas into cohesive garments, Abe elevates design to a realm where the familiar meets the utterly unique,' the statement continues. 'Offering, a new perspective on clothing that is comforting in its familiarity and originality.' Several other brands including Jacquemus, Wooyoungmi, Craig Green, Saint Laurent, The Row, Giorgio Armani, Simon Cracker and Prada stood out as exemplifying the same use of unorthodox size, scale and shape within its most recent collections—adding to the noise of fun, fresh design and redefining a 'new normal' for the future of menswear.
