Courtesy of Salvatore Ferragamo A new podcast series is pulling back the curtain on the life of Salvatore Ferragamo. Before founding his eponymous Italian label, Ferragamo was an apprentice shoemaker and designer to the stars.

This fall will likely feel pretty different than last year. For starters, you might be wrapped up in your favorite scarf on your couch, instead of throwing it on for your commute. But some of your go-to items for this season needn’t change just because you’re spending more time at home. Take it from beauty
STEPHANE DE SAKUTINGetty Images There is no denying that Cardi B is a cultural institution—her most recent song, “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion, managed to make waves last month amid a news-heavy summer (to put it lightly). Now, she’s taking her rightful place overlooking the city of Paris in Balenciaga’s fall campaign, which just happens
Long before Ally Maki appeared in movies and TV shows like Toy Story 4, Cloak & Dagger, and Wrecked, the Japanese American actress was hitting the club. And no, not the high heels, music-blaring, vodka cran kind of club, but actual extracurriculars. “When I was younger, I was totally the club girl, and not the

From the moon to a spacesuit’s globular helmet, the shape fascinates him. You can see it in his work, namely the circular dresses he’s designed, and even in his home:
The students who graduated this summer have never faced a more uncertain future. As they navigated the new quarantine normal, we invited college photography graduates from around the country to showcase their skills in the form of fashion images. The models were their nearest and dearest—parents, roommates, siblings, significant others—who were excited to don high
Courtesy “All my friends have holes – in their bodies, in their homes and in their hearts,” Lebanese streetwear designer and creative director of La Terre est Folle Joe Arida wrote on Instagram just two weeks after a devastating explosion leveled the port area of Beirut, Lebanon. “Yet all my friends are whole, they are

Donatella Versace at her home in Milan. Pier Nicola Bruno Shortly before I interview Donatella Versace, I ask my colorist to bump up my already-straining-credulity blond by a shade. That’s the effect Versace has on you before you even meet her: Some people make you stand up straighter in their presence; she has a way
In an unexpected move, Prada named Raf Simons as co-creative director joining Miuccia Prada.

Stephane Cardinale – CorbisGetty Images Feminist statements have become the cornerstone of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s collections. A hallmark of her debut collection as Dior’s first female artistic director in 2016 was a plain white T-shirt with the words, “We Should All Be Feminists” written across the chest (later worn by celebrities Rihanna and Natalie Portman—it
Lana Condor is not Lara Jean Covey. She might share the same face, voice, and (platonic) love for Noah Centineo, but she stays true to herself.

There were deep puddles outside Buckingham Palace, and deep crowds in front of tiny doors to fashion shows. We wore
Shiona Turini’s history with Barbie dolls is similar to that of many black women. Store shelves would be brimming with Barbie dolls in a range of different hair color shades—blonde, brunette, red, black, etc.—but when it came to complexion shades, options were few and far between. Then, in 1980, Turini’s sigh of relief came in

With that in mind, we reached out to three fashion authorities from Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter, and Bloomingdales for a full forecast of the year
Pushing boundaries is an inherent part of Equipment. It was 1976 when the brand opened a salon in Paris, France, offering a selection of womenswear that didn’t have a clear delineation between what was masculine or feminine. Great fashion, regardless of gender tropes, was the objective, and over the decades, the company has built upon

Dimitrios KambourisGetty Images Valentine’s Day is upon us, and with it the eternal question: If I can’t find anyone I love as much as Rihanna, why bother?
