USC Annenberg, USC Roski and USC School of Dramatic Arts are proud to partner with alumna Lauren Santo Domingo, co-founder and chief brand officer of Moda Operandi, to launch the USC Distinguished Speaker Series on Fashion.

For our inaugural conversation, we welcome Sara Moonves, editor in chief of W magazine, who has imagined the magazine as a platform for fashion, culture and contemporary storytelling, in dialogue with Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior, celebrated for his intellectual approach and fearless reinvention of modern luxury. 

With the fashion industry in flux and new talent redefining legacy brands, Moonves and  Anderson will explore how Dior — and luxury itself — is being reimagined for a changing world. Drawing on their long professional history, their discussion will examine the intersection of fashion, media and culture: the power of storytelling, the role of image-making and film, and how designers navigate rapid change across artistic vision, business, technology and global audiences.

The program will include a student Q&A and will be followed by an informal mixer, offering students the opportunity to connect more directly with leaders and professionals from across the fashion community.

This event is at capacity and is no longer accepting RSVPs.
