“If a person outside of the fashion bubble were to describe what they imagine happens at a fashion show, the visual conjured would be one of Vaccarello’s,” writes VF style correspondent José Criales-Unzueta in his profile of Belgian fashion designer Anthony Vaccarello, who currently serves as the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. And with that he provides an excellent reason for everyone—not just those who follow high fashion—to read his piece, as Vaccarello’s iconic work isn’t just glamorous and beautiful, it’s a Rosetta Stone for how we perceive and engage with style in the 2020s. Prepare to be illuminated.

That’s not the only stop we have on today’s trend train. Consider, if you will, the role a character’s hair plays on TV and in movies. Rebecca Ford, inspired by Sarah Pidgeon’s Love Story mane, took a deep dive into the world of product, wigs, and dye jobs to trace the history of hair acting to its (forgive me) roots. And just as you breathe a sigh of relief that at least you never had to grow out Courtney Cox’s Scream 3 micro-bangs, there’s a new aspect of your appearance to worry about: your hands, which Marisa Meltzer explains are the “final frontier of aesthetics.” What, these old things?

Of course, we haven’t forgotten those of you who have all these external concerns figured out. Instead, may I direct you to the inside scoop on life in Princess Margaret’s neighborhood? (Fred Rogers, she was apparently not.) And we have two memoirs for you to mull this weekend: revealing life story Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones, and Everybody Came to Tana’s: An American Dream Come True, a posthumous tome from Dan Tana, the owner of Hollywood’s most famous restaurant. More tomorrow!

Put Down the Filler. Now, Everyone Is Looking at Your Spotty, Wrinkly Hands.

BY MARISA MELTZER

VF chats with a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist on why hands are the final frontier of aesthetics.

Graham Platner has had anything but a placid run at a Senate seat in Maine, where he had been threatening Susan Collins’s decades-long tenure. There was the apparent Nazi tattoo—a not-small problem, you’d think, that a candidate couldn’t withstand, but he did. Then there were some initial allegations of misconduct, but his momentum didn’t seem much blunted. This week, when Politico reported a rape allegation, he still did not immediately withdraw from the race. As our Washington correspondent Aidan McLaughlin reports, even as his circle of advisers urged him to close up shop, Platner tried to stay in, denying the allegations and fighting with his team. The details are here, and Aidan will have more in the coming weeks on how the Democratic Party is handling this new challenge.

Elsewhere in discomfiting news, Savannah Walsh has fresh insight into a new ad campaign that the Department of War has been rolling out during Love Island and other prime-time TV shows, but they swear there’s no AI involved (the Stefon of newsletter sentences).
