When the latest edition of Paris Men’s Fashion Week arrived this June, it felt natural to find Pierce Abernathy amidst the global fashion cabal’s traveling circus. The chef, model, and leader of an 830,000-strong community across Instagram and TikTok is a signifier of curated cool wherever you may find him. Parisian locals might’ve spotted Abernathy grabbing fresh fruits at La Récolte Faidherbe, or biking through his beloved 11th arrondissement between engagements (in loafers, no less). His playful spirit is a natural fit for Dior’s latest wares, designed for the first time by newly appointed Creative Director Jonathan Anderson.
CULTURED accompanied Abernathy as he immersed himself in Dior’s meticulous artistry this season. Take a peek behind the scenes at the look he donned for the occasion and at his exclusive insights into the journey toward a historic show.
“Dior details! I loved the logo and the woven leather belt. The pieces felt very authentic and timeless.”
“Luckily didn’t drop any.”
“I love to stay in the 11th. There are so many incredible markets and restaurants. It’s one of my favorite places to walk around in Paris.”
“One of my favorite parts of the look was this timeless loafer. It felt modern and classic at the same time, and who knew it would make for great biking?”
