In a season when men’s fashion has leaned hard into spectacle, insiders believe Jonathan Anderson is playing a subtler, longer game. As he prepares his second men’s runway show for Dior on Jan. 21, the designer has added LaKeith Stanfield to the house’s growing roster of male ambassadors, a choice many said feels less like a marketing maneuver and more like a carefully calibrated alignment of temperament, intellect, and style.

Stanfield is already familiar territory at Dior. He attended Anderson’s debut men’s show in June and has repeatedly turned to the house for red carpet appearances, including the New York premiere of “Die My Love” in November. In December, at the British Fashion Awards, he debuted a floral embroidered blue denim “revolution” coat with a matching waistcoat and light blue boot-cut jeans, a look that later surfaced again when Amy Madigan wore the same ensemble to the Critics Choice Awards.

On Jan. 6 President Trump announced that funding for childcare, social services, and welfare will be frozen for five democratic led states, citing fraud as the main concern. California Governor Gavin Newsom immediately dismissed the claims.

California, Colorado, New York, Illinois and Minnesota are the five states that will be affected if the freeze successfully occurs. Assistance for low-income families, child care and the many services following are in jeopardy. Critics and political experts suggest that the announcement strategically targets blue states and is another politically motivated decision brought forth by the Trump administration.
