“Art’s job isn’t to resolve contradictions. It’s to make them glow.” THE AWAKENING: JASPER JOHNS AND THE BIRTH OF A VISION Ogino’s artistic journey began at 14, when a visit to Tokyo’s then-new Museum of Contemporary Art introduced her to Jasper Johns’ work. “Seeing his encaustic paintings—the way he embedded everyday symbols with mystery—was a revelation,” she recalls. Though she had always loved to draw, Johns’ exhibition ignited her fascination with contemporary art’s potential to interrogate the familiar. Raised in a household where fusuma-e (sliding door paintings) and byobu (folding screens) were part of daily life, Ogino’s subconscious absorption of Japanese tradition later collided with her studies of Western art. “I want my paintings to hold both worlds,” she explains. “The ma [negative space] of a Rinpa school scroll and…

The Velvet Room: Where Fashion Meets Art In a season defined by subtle grandeur, Dior Summer 2026 opens not on a runway, but within a velvet-lined room echoing Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie. Here, two quiet masterpieces by Jean Siméon Chardin hang like whispers from the past reminders that beauty often resides in restraint. Creative Director Jonathan Anderson invites us into this curated space, not to dazzle, but to converse. It’s a museum of memory, where fashion becomes a living archive and history is worn, not just remembered. The New Formality: Tailored Time Travel Anderson’s vision is a reconstruction of formality an empathetic collage of eras. The Bar jacket returns, not as a relic but as a statement. Tailcoats and 18th-century waistcoats are revived with reverence, while Donegal tweeds and regimental neckties nod…

“I did barrel racing, bull racing, and horseback riding. I also trained thoroughbred horses for the horse races. So I grew up very southern, very country,” reminisced Chanel. As young as 5 years old, Chanel was already being introduced to the world of modeling by her father, who worked with children’s brands. This isn’t where our story turns toward success yet. Chanel wanted a normal southern upbringing, so she stayed in school and left modeling behind. What she didn’t know was that she was about to face a challenge that would go on to change her life. “When I was younger, I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. I got it in the third grade. I was hospitalized for three months, and I went deaf during that hospitalization. They had to…
