This afternoon, in Paris\u2019s Mus\u00e9e Rodin, Irish designer <\/span>Jonathan Anderson<\/span><\/a> presented his latest collection for the house of Dior. Today\u2019s catwalk marked Anderson\u2019s second menswear show and third runway overall, featuring an eclectic mix of references over the course of 63 looks. There were nods to the late, great <\/span>Pam Hogg<\/span><\/a> in the sunshine yellow wigs, design parallels with Poiret, one of fashion\u2019s founding fathers, plus a character study of today\u2019s aristocratic youth. (For our full show review, click here<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

As the show started, though, we couldn\u2019t help but notice the unmistakable sound of mk.gee\u2019s track \u201cAlesis\u201d blare through the speakers, from his record <\/span>Two Star & The Dream Police<\/span><\/em> (the one that topped our <\/span>Best Albums list back in 2024<\/span><\/a>). Later on in the show, mk.gee\u2019s single \u201cROCKMAN\u201d appeared on the soundtrack, before \u201cAlesis\u201d returned during the finale to close out the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Anderson has just announced LaKeith Stanfield, Josh O\u2019Connor and Drew Starkey as menswear ambassadors, it looks like he\u2019s got another man in his sights too. Not only did Mk.gee\u2019s music dominate today\u2019s soundtrack, but it turns out that the New Jersey musician was actually on the moodboard too. After the show, Anderson revealed to reporters that, along with Poiret and the Aristo-youth, he\u2019d recently encountered the <\/span>former Dazed cover star<\/span><\/a>, and he\u2019d inspired the AW26 show. \u201cI\u2019d met this amazing singer and musician called Mk.gee,\u201d he <\/span>told<\/span><\/a>Vogue Runway<\/span><\/em>. \u201cI was trying to work out what these characters would be together, as a new radical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the collection, the musician\u2019s laidback, grungy style was telegraphed through things like boxy parkas, denim cargos and vintage-inspired knits, but it was the show\u2019s closing look \u2013 slouchy bottoms, flannel and a ski jacket \u2013 that was straight of the Mk.gee playbook. From Omar Apollo and Kit Connor, to Taylor Russell and Mike Faist, Anderson filled his past campaigns at Loewe with all of his favourite artists, so maybe Mk.gee is being courted as we speak? Let\u2019s wait and see.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
