Jonathan Anderson has one of the most visionary minds in fashion today. The Northern Ireland-raised designer came to the industry via theater: ‘I’ve always been fascinated by character building,’ he says in this episode. ‘If I hadn’t gone to drama school, I don’t think I would be able to produce the collections I do today.’ Beyond his beginnings, Anderson spoke to me about his love of ceramics, the timelessness of a Renaissance masterpiece, and the importance of artists. ‘To me,’ he says, ‘the artist is the most exciting person in the social ecosystem, because they should be allowed the freedom to tackle the things we can’t.’ Epilogue: LVMH appointed Anderson as Christian Dior omni-designer in 2025.
