Lopez at work.Kadar R. Small Raul Lopez has always been inspired by “boss bitches.” As a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, native, the founder and designer of the New York brand Luar spent his childhood in awe of the women who were legends in his neighborhood. “They were Gs,” he recalls. “My mom always said that the man

If you live in New York City and enjoy on-trend nail art, chances are you’ve heard of or gotten a manicure at Paintbox, an Upper East Side nail studio known for its Instagramable manicures. The nail maison solves analysis paralysis when you want a trendy manicure but either have too many options or don’t know
While #FashionTok may have taken over our feeds, delivering all the latest microtrends straight to our phones, coffee table books still reign supreme when it comes to preserving fashion history.

When I arrived backstage at the LaQuan Smith show at 6:45 p.m., half of the models were not even there (many were in transit on the rainy day from another show). Nevertheless, beauty got the first-class treatment—even if it meant the show started more than 40 minutes late. Smith had a star-studded backstage team, including
kate spade new york is a handbag icon. Among others, the brand is responsible for the Sam, which launched in 1993 and became an immediate classic.

For all the wistful mermaids, those who love the markers of girlhood, and rhinestones, there’s the Spring 2024 Sandy Liang show. If there was a main character for the new season, it would be a blend of Cecilia, the youngest depressed daughter of The Virgin Suicides mixed with a slightly melancholy Ariel. On the mood
It’s a morning like any other on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

As whispers of Timothée Chalamet sightings and Hinge ghosts creep down
If you remember the brand in its 90s heyday, you can probably appreciate the tinge of nostalgic nods through all of the new Helmut Lang beauty looks. And you’ll especially love the small touch of logo nails, spelling out H-E-L-M-U-T-L-A-N-G on each finger, with clear polish – the new Helmut Lang manicure. For his Spring
Backstage at Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2024 show, the general atmosphere is electric. Nay, romantic. Held at the iconic Pierre Hotel in New York City, a relic of gilded glory, the floor-to-ceiling murals and elaborate moldings are far from the most opulent items in your line of sight. The venue is no accident: Siriano’s ballet-inspired collection
Are you sick of pink? Are you sick of Barbie pink? Are you sick of unabashed femininity? Good, because Christian Siriano is not. The backstage of the Pierre Hotel for his Spring 2024 15th anniversary show was an explosion of pink sparkles, pink ribbons, and pink and more pink. The unifying idea of the beauty

Season after season, the fashion industry has been inundated and overpowered by spectacles, both on the runways and in the world. Meta-immersive displays and forward fashion have all reigned supreme as of late, but what goes up must come down. Rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel, the industry is now taking a refreshing turn

More than 50 percent of women will experience noticeable hair loss in their lifetime—a change that can affect much more than their appearance. In the above mini documentary, ELLE.com explores this staggering statistic through the stories of women who’ve been there before, including Hearst executive producer Amanda Kabbabe. After being diagnosed with a rare form
Prep is dead; long live prep. Prep is back. Prep never left. Prep is evolving, and by the way, you shouldn’t call it “prep” anymore. Or, anyway, so says the dozens of writers and influencers captivated by the rise of the “old-money aesthetic”; the TikTokers documenting their “dark academia”-inspired wardrobes; the runways once again filled

In the pursuit of glowing, smooth skin, there’s one ingredient that comes up over and over: retinol. The family of ingredients is still the most-studied anti-aging ingredient on the market for a reason: “Retinol helps stimulate collagen production, enhances cell turnover, strengthens the skin to improve the appearance of wrinkles and evens pigmentation,” says Josh
In 2023, body hair is a choice. For me, I’ve chosen to go totally hairless on my arms (I think some sort of PTSD from major teasing as a child) but choose to have armpit hair—at least, that’s the state of affairs for today. For those who are a little more firm in their body
“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see,” wrote English critic Samuel Johnson at the height of the Grand Tour’s popularity. (So much for #FOMO being a modern invention.) For young Europeans of means in the
Our homes are our sanctuaries — places we crawl back to every night to exhale. While they’ve always been sacred, home became an even bigger priority during the pandemic when we all found ourselves confined behind closed doors — hidden from the world.

Chloë Sevigny’s voice boomed over the speakers at Proenza Schouler’s fall 2023 show as the actress and It-girl read fictional diary entries from the author and It-girl Ottessa Moshfegh.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had oily, acne-prone skin. Over the past year, I’ve finally been able to get my breakouts under control with a combination of prescription oral (spironolactone) and topical (tretinoin) treatments. Despite my complexion’s predisposition to greasiness, the tretinoin has led to dryness and light peeling, so I’ve been
It’s that time of year again. You know, where we collectively embark on the transition from summer to fall. Believe it or not, we’ll soon be mourning balmy temperatures and weekend trips to the shore. And as we trade in our bikinis for knit sweaters—and change our Starbucks orders from iced lattes to warmer beverages
Building a brand in 2023 is a difficult feat. Many new contenders take to social media, our 21st century marketplace, to gain traction, spread awareness, and even sell products digitally (TikTok Shop is now a thing).
