These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Tuesday.

Barry Keoghan covers GQ
Irish actor Barry Keoghan is GQ's February 2024 cover star. In an interview with Culture Editor Alex Pappademas, the star of cultural sensation "Saltburn" opens up about his friendship with costar Jacob Elordi, the loneliness that accompanies fame and welcoming his new son Brando while filming. "I feel an enormous amount of pressure, which is good," he told GQ. "And I can't get the little boy off my mind. It's beautiful. Y'know, it's crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world. That's the effect he has on me." {Fashionista inbox}

Dior to show Pre-Fall 2024 in Brooklyn
After taking over Saks Fifth Avenue's windows for the holidays, Dior will hold its Pre-Fall 2024 show at the Brooklyn Museum on April 15. Designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the collection will be a tribute to "unwavering ties forged between Dior and the United States from the very beginning of the house," according to the company. Dior showed its last pre-fall line in March at the Gateway of India. {WWD/paywalled}

An antique dress hid a coded message from 1888
The New York Times has an incredible story about an 1800s silk bustle dress bought by archaeologist Sara Rivers Cofield at a Maine antique mall that hid a cryptic note reading: "Bismark Omit leafage buck bank / Paul Ramify loamy event false new event." Now, data analyst Wayne Chan has cracked it, discovering that it contained codes used to telegraph condensed weather observations in the United States and Canada in 1888. "For the first time in history, observations from distant locations could be rapidly disseminated, collated and analyzed to provide a synopsis of the state of weather across an entire nation," Chan wrote in his study, as reported by the Times. Chan first began working on the code in 2018, but gave up after a few months. He returned to the code in 2022, and, after more research, finally solved the case. The mystery surrounding who owned the dress still remains. {The New York Times/paywalled}
