Fans celebrate Squid Game finale with Seoul parade
Performers dressed as Squid Game soldiers preparing to parade through central Seoul, on June 28. PHOTO: REUTERS SEOUL - Thousands of fans gathered in Seoul on June 28 to celebrate the final Squid Game season, ending a global Netflix hit that is seen as a symbol of South Korea's cultural clout. The third and final season was released on June 27, concluding the series that sees desperate people compete in deadly versions of traditional children's games for a massive cash prize. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he had 'poured everything' into the series, which launched nearly four years ago. 'So while it's sentimental to see it end,' he said, 'there's also a sense of relief'. Fans gathered near Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace, led by marchers dressed in the bright pink uniforms worn by the show's mysterious masked agents. They were followed by others carrying oversize toys from one of the games featured in the series, along with the show's flag. Fan Park Sang-gyu, who stayed up all night watching the final season, said the dystopian drama was 'ultimately a story about people'. 'As you watch, you realise it's not just about the games – it reflects many aspects of real life.' The walls of the Seoul Metropolitan Library were lit up with key scenes, including Young-hee – the giant motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one of its brutal games. A statue of Young-hee, the iconic doll character of Squid Game, is seen during the parade in Seoul on June 28. PHOTO: AFP More on this Topic Squid Game's final season arrives, and here is everything you need to know Lee Byung-hun, who played the masked Front Man overseeing the competition, said the show had become 'something of a cultural phenomenon'. 'One that has drawn one of the boldest lines in the history of Korean content,' he said. The first two seasons of the series are among Netflix's most-watched shows, and in 2022, Director Hwang and the show's leading actor, Lee Jung-jae, became the first Asian men to win Emmy Awards. The final season follows its hero Gi-hun, played by Lee, as he returns to the ultra-violent games to dismantle them from within after surviving the first round. Along with filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning 2019 thriller Parasite and K-pop sensation BTS, Squid Game is considered one of the most powerful examples of South Korea's rise as a global cultural force.

Jonathan Anderson played with history for his first show at Dior
'For me, style is how you put things together. Over the next period, that's what I want to work on,' said Jonathan Anderson. For all the enormity of his taking of the reins at the house of Christian Dior—and despite his blizzard of wildly talked-about teasers and the pre-crush of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Sabrina Carpenter and all his celebrity and designer friends—the most convincing thing about his debut show was just how close-up and tangible he made it feel in reality. Anderson's plan was to get in with a visceral idea of what to wear with what, be it a Bar jacket with conceptual chino shorts, socks and 'school summer sandals,' a softly washed-out gray velvet morning jacket with a tonally similar pair of faded blue jeans or a full-on amazingly elaborate pre-revolutionary court or Louis 16th frock coat worn with ordinary black cotton trousers and brown suede high-top hiking boots. Wear this, should you fancy, with a high stock collar as an accessory, which Anderson got from looking at sketches by Romaine Brooks, a painter who documented lesbian life in the 1920s. This is the kind of high-low magic that Anderson transferred from his own brand to Loewe, and then used to revolutionise that LVMH label into a financially and critically successful phenomenon over a decade. Loewe didn't really have codes, though, so Anderson could start with a clean slate. With Dior it's very different; there's a long history to play on. 'The great thing about Dior is it being able to reinvent with each designer,' he said. 'I embrace that. Like Maria Grazia Chiuri's book bag. That is not my bag, but I can do something else with it.' Anderson's own agenda for Dior was emblematically set out in his use of Andy Warhol's photographs of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and the socialite Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy's sister. Two immensely stylish Americans 'from two different sides of the spectrum—who might've been at the same party,' as Anderson put it. Dior, he admitted, in a preview is 'ginormous,' a house which 'has to mean something to everyone.' In his first outing, he showed his adeptness at focussing on both detail and enormity at the same time. Outside, there was a stretched photograph of Christian Dior's original 1950s salon at the Avenue Montaigne covering the giant venue at the Invalides. Inside, the models walked up and down, close to the audience, so there could be no mistaking the quality or the detail of the clothes. 'This is how people saw couture in the original Dior salon, really close up,' said Anderson in a preview. 'I want people to be able to see the fabric and the make, whether it's the wash of a chino or the moire silk on a waistcoat.' On the dove-gray walls hung two small, priceless still-lifes by Chardin, the French past-master of the close contemplation of small things—a vase of flowers and a bowl of wild strawberries—painted sometime in the 1750s or 60s. Bringing important art into proximity with fashion people could be said to be one of Anderson's formulae. These borrowings, quieting as they are in content, were naturally also a power statement for LVMH, whose resources and influence can overcome the difficulty of borrowing from the Louvre (the strawberries) and the National Museum of Scotland (the flowers) for an hour's fashion show. In the collection, the direct parallels were Anderson's appropriations of 18th- and 19th- century French menswear. 'They are incredibly rare, but we found a collection of original waistcoats,' he explained. 'For me, and for all my generation, Margiela was God. So I thought: 'let's make them replicas.'' It was his route into showing the elevated patrimony of Dior's haute couture ateliers—the flower embroidery, the latticed gold buttons, the exact color of a mauve moire silk waistcoat. The closeness of the presentation meant one could gasp at the exquisite French quality of a pink faille waistcoat and practically sense the refinement of a silk evening scarf as it swished by. But Anderson wants to land all of that in reality, too: he'd thought about the idea of boys discovering those pieces 'in a trunk, and just pulling them on.' That worked, paced out as the show was with a long inventory of French-preppy items including colorful cable knit sweaters, normal summery jeans. Where was Jean-Michel Basquiat in this? Anderson had taken care to consult with Karen Binns, the late artist's close friend who was commissioned by Dior to curate a podcast on the 1980s in New York, featuring Hilton Als and the artist Toxic. Perhaps his innate knack of knotting a rep tie over a denim chambray shirt was present in the multiple tie segues? Ties on shirts are young fashion now. It worked: something multiple generations of Dior shoppers can safely agree on. And of course, Monsieur Dior himself had to be dealt with. Anderson took him head on in his first look. The Bar jacket was made from an Irish Donegal tweed—a matter of national pride for Anderson—which featured here and there throughout the collection. As for the side-looped flanges on the cargo shorts in that same look? Well, those came from Anderson's study of the stiff architecture of a Dior winter 1948 couture dress named Delft. 'It's old. It had flopped. That inspired me,' he said with a laugh, adding, 'I think it's a good bridge between history, commerce, history, style—and make.' Anderson is a very big gun now in the coming face-off between the three newly-placed 40-year-old creative directors who head the biggest labels. Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Demna at Kering's Gucci we'll be seeing in September, when Anderson will also be showing his first womenswear for Dior. These are times when the stakes are high and the luxury market is more under fire than it has been for decades. Anderson isn't fazed. There was a gleam in his eye when he said, 'I think it's good the market is difficult, because it means it's ready to change. And I always work best under pressure.'
