The official X of Vanity Fair

New York, NY
Milan and Italian style were under the microscope on Friday afternoon when Demna staged his third show for Gucci, and Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo made their debut at Moschino. Both shows attempted to offer a perspective on authentic Italian style, albeit with different devices vanityfair.visitlink.me/qdLF…

I profiled Jordan Firstman and the cast of Club Kid and then followed them around for this insanely gorgeous photoshoot in Telluride!
Jordan Firstman owes his career to banana bread. At the height of the lonely COVID-19 pandemic, the aspiring writer started posting zany impression videos on Instagram: a town gossip who has no gossip during quarantine, the personification of the pronouns they/them, a white person at a protest who can’t chant on beat. But the one that broke the internet was the one where he became the publicist for banana bread, the go-to comfort bake of lockdown. After rising to internet fame during the pandemic and playing lovable sidekicks on the cult-favorite TV series ‘English Teacher’ and ‘I Love LA,’ Firstman wrote, directed, and stars in ‘Club Kid,’ a sincere coming-of-age dramedy about a hard-partying gay New York City club promoter, Peter (Firstman), who discovers he’s a dad when a 10-year-old boy arrives on his doorstep. It’s a story about growing up in which art imitates life—and nobody has more riding on the project than 35-year-old Firstman, who’s hoping this movie will help him shed his internet personality and lead the industry to take him seriously as a filmmaker. For Vanity Fair’s New Establishment Issue, @Beccamford caught up with an auteur on the brink—and the colorful cast of his big debut: vanityfair.visitlink.me/uarz…

Florence Pugh on the industry: “I know that everybody in this industry has rises and falls. I’m not an idiot. I’ve seen that happen to loads of people, especially women. We love to build them up, and we love to bring them down.” Read the cover story: vanityfair.visitlink.me/SD4y…

“I don’t like messy sets," Florence Pugh tells Vanity Fair. "I want people to come to work and work, and enjoy that it’s a luxury to do this. When moods change on set, it’s because someone is preventing that from happening, and that’s what makes people feel like they haven’t been cared for.” Read the cover story: vanityfair.visitlink.me/SD4y…

Florence Pugh on Palestine: “It’s still happening. Babies are still dying. Mothers are still in pain. It’s really horrible to be watching such pain when so much of our lives just seem to be moving forward. I think that’s what I’ve found so difficult about social media as well: How can I say I’m having a really good time when literally one scroll up, I’m looking at a baby that’s motherless and fatherless?” Read the cover story: vanityfair.visitlink.me/SD4y…

Florence Pugh on her characters: “I don’t know how to play characters without sympathizing with them. And I think I’ve tried to do my best after ‘Midsommar’ to be fair to myself and also to be fair to the character. I’ve learned over the years to know when enough is enough, when I’ve abused my state of mind or put my body through things that I shouldn’t. I now know how to protect my space."

Princess, madam, soldier-spy. Florence Pugh, who has an extraordinary knack for steering through Hollywood’s choppy waters, plays all three onscreen this year. While she makes candles with Vanity Fair’s Hillary Busis, Pugh explains her renewed love for her work—and talks just a little bit about the things she doesn't like to talk about.

When ‘Club Kid’ had its world premiere at Cannes in May, Jordan Firstman was following in the footsteps of greats who had been christened as major filmmakers on those very streets: Philip Kaufman, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Wong Kar-wai, Jane Campion. His feature directorial debut unspooled in front of a packed house at the festival, earning a long, jubilant standing ovation. “The energy in the room was palpable,” he says now, remembering. “I’ve never felt anything like that for anything I’ve done.” But the speed at which the conversation around the film turned from being about the art to being about the commerce was startling to him. A bidding war erupted, which would end with A24 buying Club Kid for $17 million, the biggest deal of the festival this year. Though that marked a huge win for a first-time filmmaker, Firstman wished he could have basked in the warm glow of watching his movie just be a movie for a little longer. “This is something so personal to me, that I poured my heart into—and now it’s numbers,” he says. @beccamford catches up with the cast of ‘Club Kid’: vanityfair.visitlink.me/uarz…

John Green on J.K. Rowling: “I think it’s important when we talk about her to talk about the fact that supporting her work now is directly supporting efforts at the erasure of trans people, and that makes me really sad. I think about all the trans friends I have who have Deathly Hallows tattoos,” Green continues, “and how heartbreaking it is for them to have someone who created something that matters so much to them really betray them.” Will he watch HBO’s upcoming 'Harry Potter' show? “No. No. No.” vanityfair.visitlink.me/sb7Y…
