Featuring Art Deco details, gold finishes, and a touch of topaz,

They say that if you can make it in there, you can make it anywhere. Nobody knows this better than Elie Tahari, who famously arrived in New York in 1971 with less than $100 in his pocket and slept on a bench in Central Park. Born in Jerusalem, the Israeli designer spent his formative years

When Fendi’s collaboration with Kim Kardashian West’s loungewear brand Skims was first announced in October, it initially took us by surprise. But after processing the information, the partnership makes complete sense. Given the reality star-turned-business mogul’s keen eye for body-conscious silhouettes and Fendi’s iconic logo and elevated sportswear, this is a match made in marketable

Need an easy holiday gift that still seems like you put in effort? Something special? Something personalized? Forget monograms and nameplate necklaces. Starting in early November, you can get cheeky by stamping your name on a pair of Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty boxer briefs. The popular lingerie brand’s new initiative, called Savage X You, allows

It was the fashion moment seen—and memed—around the world. Framed by Cannes’ sunlit palms and sailboat masts, there they stood: Timothée Chalamet, Wes Anderson, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray, the art-house power squad from the recently released film The French Dispatch. Chalamet looked cool, as is his wont, in a graphic, anti-glam (and yet somehow

The fashion and film industries are intimately intertwined. Whether it’s iconic style moments in cult-favorite movies or celebs partying with creative designers at the Met Gala, the two worlds have mingled since they were born into existence. And since Alessandro Michele took the reigns of Gucci in 2015, we saw those ties drawn tighter. With

Trying to find the true meaning of the phrase smart casual can quickly turn into a nightmare. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as “neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress code”. But these days it’s quite common for smart casual to be the dress code. So

Menswear has long made icons out of outsiders. From beatniks to goths, it’s subcultures – those underground coteries outside the confines of everything mainstream – that have given so many current wardrobe staples their style cachet. Music, language and rituals all help define a subculture but it’s a gang’s visual signifiers that give it away

Hill House Home is as known for its devoted fan base as its era-defining hero piece, the nap dress. Today, the legions of shoppers known as Nap Dress Nation are getting an early gift from its favorite brand: an unabashedly festive drop incorporating shoppers’ most frequent requests, and new additions they didn’t know to ask

Not a lot of people know this, but the pocket square has been around since before Don Draper. Quite a bit before, in fact. Handkerchiefs have been popular since the 1400s, when the upper classes first adopted them as an accessory. Silk and embroidered, they were used as symbols of wealth and status. French nobles

The default uniform of office worker drones, barely changed since the time of Beau Brummell, the suit can understandably feel like a horsehair-canvassed straightjacket on self-expression. But it doesn’t have to be that way. While what you see most of the time on the commute might seem stale, designers are constantly tinkering with the suit’s

Christian Siriano cannot move. The Maryland native has been swarmed by fashion students at the Savannah College of Art and Design, all scrambling for TikToks, or advice, or internships, or—the ultimate ‘get’—a compliment on their (truly excellent) outfits, which range from Dolly Parton-esque gemstone denim to full-out prom tulle. Two kids in Clueless-inspired plaid skirts

It’s 9 a.m. in Los Angeles. It’s time for my Zoom meeting with Charlize Theron. Her voice is clear, pure, cheerful. Perhaps she is even smiling. But I wouldn’t know as the screen is black! Woof… a dog? She apologizes and gets up to open the door. He wants to go out. To her many

For the uninitiated, the concept of a Ganni Girl is about dressing for yourself and nobody else. The Copenhagen-based label helmed by husband-and-wife designer duo Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup creates pieces that celebrate individuality and encourage self-expression—making you feel like the best “you” you can be, every time you wear it. Here, in an exclusive

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced today that actress Emily Blunt is slated to host its annual CFDA Fashion Awards, to be held on November 10, 2021.

If HBO’s wildly popular medieval fantasy epic was set anywhere in the northern hemisphere, it’s likely that Game of Thrones’ most commonly cited catchphrase would be more like: “Winter is coming. No, wait, it’s warm again. Never mind.” While that may not be the case, the whole process of moving from one season to the

The tail-end of the year is a high-maintenance mistress to dress for, particularly when it comes to footwear. One miscalculated choice and that stride you stepped out of the house with soon turns into a squelch, dampening your overall style in the process. Because no man should suffer a perpetual snail trail, make sure you’re

There are trainer wearers: people who, well, wear trainers. And then there are sneakerheads: frenzied collectors, bloggers, buyers and resellers responsible for an industry that, by 2020, is predicted to be worth $220bn; more than the GDP of New Zealand, Portugal or Qatar. And if you ask anyone in this modern-day subculture – which has

Do you get your jackets tailored? Wash your whites separately? Press your underwear? No? Then there’s a strong chance your style might be suffering as a result. According to club menswear’s most influential opinion-makers, there are a few habits shared by nearly all the most impressively turned out blokes on the red carpet, and it’s

You would think spies might dress down a bit, considering their entire job is to go unnoticed. Lots of beige. Nothing tailored beyond ‘easy fit’. Basically, they should look like an M&S mannequin, then you wouldn’t give them a second glance. Yet, thanks to the movies, we assume all spies are always dressed perfectly, both

Worn sockless and rolled up, or with a cardigan as a makeshift waistcoat, the traditional rules of tailoring are being ripped up by business casual and the relaxing of formal attire. But actor Matt Bomer is showing the purists that you can have your suit both ways – looking good either buttoned up like the

There’s a moment in Sex and the City when Carrie Bradshaw realizes she has $40,000 worth of shoes in her closet and no actual savings account. “I will literally be the old lady who lived in her shoes,” she laments, staring at the wreckage of beauty and waste. Violet Gross recalls similar awakenings—and subsequent panic
