From catching up on Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior departure to St. Agni’s Manhattan residency, here’s all the fashion (and runway) news you might’ve missed in the first half of June.

Jeremy Allen White is a Louis Vuitton Ambassador

From aprons and Michelin stars to high fashion, “The Bear” actor Jeremy Allen White has been announced as a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton. White is expected to bring his cool, effortless style to the house (see: his tailored three-piece suit at the 2025 Met Gala). Of the news, Louis Vuitton’s creative director Pharrell Williams says, “Together, we are ready to amplify a new wave, that redefines timeless style.” au.louisvuitton.com

Christian Dior Resort 2026 Collection

Villa Albani Torolina’s manicured lawns set a dreamy stage for Christian Dior’s Cruise 2026 runway. Presented within the Eternal City, the show was Maria Grazia Chiuri’s final for the luxury French fashion house. 

Titled “Bella Confusione” (a beautiful confusion), Grazia Chiuri brought baroque romanticism and classic, feminine grandeur to the runway. Drawing inspiration from heiress and avant-garde patron of the arts, Mimi Pecci-Blunt, Grazia Chiurri delivered her version of all-frills — with semi-sheer tulle, wispy ruffles, trompe l’oeil caviar beading and sharp tailoring gracing the runway. Models were fitted in jewel-encrusted shoes, while guests wore all white, a reference to 1930s-era splendour and Pecci-Blunt’s surrealist Bal del l’Imagination. 

And the show signalled the end of Grazia Chiuri’s legacy at Dior, after nine years as creative director of womenswear. Christian Dior couture chairman and CEO Delphine Arnault said, “I extend my warmest thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, since her arrival at Dior, has accomplished tremendous work with an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which allowed her to design highly desirable collections.” And as the Maison’s first female creative director, Arnault adds, “she has written a key chapter in the history of Christian Dior, greatly contributing to its remarkable growth and being the first woman to lead the creation of women’s collections.” 

Of her departure, Grazia Chiuri says, “Together, we have written a remarkable and impactful chapter, of which I am immensely proud.” 

Dior has announced Jonathan Anderson’s double debut as creative director across both mens and womens collections, the first since Christian Dior. dior.com

Alémais Resort 2026 Collection

In other runway news, luxury resortwear brand Alémais has made its first foray onto the international fashion scene in Marrakech, debuting their Resort 2026 collection at Musée De L’art Culinaire Marocain. Inspired by the Moroccan souks, geometric patterns were brought into balance by frills and billowing silhouettes. alemais.com

Fendi Summer 2025

Drawing on the high fashion cinema of Histoire d’Eau — Fendi’s sophomore drop for high summer recalls balmy afternoons spent basking in the Eternal City, and Karl Lagerfeld’s first ready-to-wear collection in 1978. Breezy fabrics are printed with Fendi’s iconic insignia, while handbeaded embellishments and floral appliqué call on a ’70s seaside spirit. fendi.com

With ’90s inspired interiors courtesy of French interior designer Louis Rambert, the luxurious outpost will house ready-to-wear, accessories and swim,  as well as New York City high jewellery brand, Agmes. st-agni.com
