High fashion is having a moment—and it’s not shy about going big. From Queen Elizabeth’s wardrobe heading to Buckingham Palace to Jane Birkin’s iconic Hermès bag fetching eight figures at auction, the world’s most stylish institutions are rewriting the headlines. The museum world isn’t far behind either, with Mexico City’s Casa Roja giving Frida Kahlo fans a new lens into her early life and creative spark. Add to that Burberry channeling royal gardens, Dior debuting animatronic bees in Manhattan, and a global obsession with collectible fashion figurines, and you’ve got a cultural cheat sheet worth skimming.
