Christine Quinn is the perfect villain. Complete with blonde extensions and a low tolerance for lying, the Selling Sunset realtor was seemingly made in a reality TV show factory. Between spitfire quips, scenes from a “sexual Phantom of the Opera”-themed engagement party, and not being able to operate a Keurig because of her fresh manicure,

Much nostalgic hay has been made of the revival of Y2K’s and the early aughts’s most fun—or, depending on your perspective, fearsome—trends. From low-rise jeans to velour sweatsuits

Edward BerthelotGetty Images Whether you are enthusiastically single or bitterly uncoupled, apparently there’s a holiday specifically targeted at you. Single’s Day lands on Nov. 11, or Double 11 as the date suggests, and is a recently adopted Chinese holiday that originated in the ’90s among university students with anti-Valentine’s Day sentiments in mind. Its modern-day

Tullio M. PugliaGetty Images The discussion in fashion regarding minimalism versus maximalism is an age-old debate. Do you Marie Kondo your silhouette or live for obtuse luxury? Not even 20 years ago, the fashion industry had a firmer chokehold on defining these choices. In 2021, our sartorial worldview became more democratized, but minimalism is not

Last night, the fashion crowd arrived in full force to the 2021 CFDA Awards at The Pool + The Grill in New York City, and this year, thankfully, felt like a true return to form—bold looks and all (we’re big fans of Kid Cudi’s custom bridal gown by ERL in particular). Emily Blunt injected a

For a woman at the top of her game, it takes confidence, self-reflection and talent to get where she wants to be. She wears many different hats, from friend and caretaker to boss and leader, somehow finding time for self-care, too. It’s not an easy feat. Speaking to Breitling’s Spotlight Squad, including American ballet dancer

Darren Gerrish/BFCGetty Images Bottega Veneta and Daniel Lee are ending their successful partnership after three years— a “joint decision”, according to a press release from Bottega Veneta’s parent company Kering. Lee has been at the creative helm of the Milanese house since July 2018. “My time at Bottega Veneta has been an incredible experience. I

New York, London, Milan, and Paris were once considered the only capitals in which great style could be found. With the ever-increasing globalization of the fashion industry, however, this antiquated notion is falling by the wayside and emerging designers in once overshadowed corners of the globe are finally getting their due. One hub on the

Actress, producer, philanthropist, investor, NAACP Image Award winner, Emmy nominee, Kerry Washington has always been a leading lady. And her resume just keeps building. Next up: This holiday season, the multi-hyphenate is debuting her third jewelry collection with female-founded sustainable fine jewelry brand Aurate. 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.

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.

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
