Bruna Marquezine remembers the first Tiffany & Co. piece she ever bought. “On the very last day of a trip to New York, I really wanted diamond earrings before going home,” says the actress on the rise from Brazil. “I don’t come from a wealthy family—my mom never owned diamonds—so it was a proud moment

Here’s a fashion riddle: Name a brand that’s just as desirable to a Gen Z fashion lover as it is to a septuagenarian retiree.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. They say to never meet your heroes, but for Emma Gage, a chance encounter with Betsey Johnson at the Met was what helped launch her fashion career.

For a solid few months (read: all winter), Cult Gaia’s Nano rhinestone bag was hanging on the elbow of every influencer and Instagram starlet. It became a mainstay in OOTDs and GRWMs on TikTok FYPs everywhere (Did you get all that?). As a self-diagnosed frugal shopper, especially when it comes to It bags that tend

For my generation, Texas was such a charming place,” says Brunello Cucinelli, who grew up watching Westerns filmed in Europe and directed by Italians. “When we thought of America, we thought of Texas and of Sergio Leone films with Clint Eastwood. And then, of course, came Dallas.” It’s been 20 years since the Italian designer

Let the record show that there is nothing more powerful than a single Taylor Swift.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “Is this just another fad?” asked one Mary Quant ad, in a self-aware nod to the way the brand was often dismissed as a passing trend. But if you’ve ever worn a miniskirt, thrown on a pair of hot pants, or

Suddenly, everyone is wearing itty-bitty underwear in lieu of the pants that once were. At least on the runways. For fall 2023, Miu Miu sent out brainy, librarian-chic models wearing a collection that mused on normcore, plus a slew of final looks wholeheartedly devoted to beaded, sequined briefs worn bare or layered on top of

Even the most apathetic sports fan knows about the green hat. Sold exclusively at the Masters—the prestigious golf tournament held annually at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia during the first full week of April—it’s not so much an accessory as a sartorial signal to the world that you were among those lucky “patrons”

First comes love, then comes marriage. And a marriage celebration is, more often than not, observed with a wedding or wedding reception. If you’ve seen 27 Dresses, you know that the theme or dress code of a wedding can vary pretty considerably based on the individuality of the happy couple, so figuring out what to

You could assume designers and editors dictate what’s “in,” and consumers sheepishly just follow along. Sometimes, though, it’s the opposite. For decades, brands have instead relied on everyday trailblazers. Remember Malcolm Gladwell’s viral New Yorker story “The Coolhunt”? It’s still eerily relevant over 25 years later.

And it

Iconic Americana and Tommy Hilfiger are synonymous and neither goes out of style. To keep the look current, it’s all about modern tweaks to renew the throwback vibe, so it’s no surprise we’re obsessing over the new Tommy Hilfiger x Shawn Mendes collection. This collab of 28 items delivers fresh foundational pieces infused with TH’s

When Manfred Thierry Mugler passed away last year, he was in the early stages of a new project. A collaboration with H&M—one that will bring the ultra-viral, outré brand to a wider audience—was one of the last things the iconic designer worked on with Casey Cadwallader, Mugler’s creative director. “It was so great that we

When considering new investments for your wardrobe, there are quite a lot of hero items to consider. Do I drop half a paycheck on a new coat? Is it time to think about replacing those year-old boots? Or, do I turn my sights to a new bag? This season, the answer is the latter. Bottega

It wasn’t entirely clear if Gucci and Adidas would release a second part to their collaboration, but that’s exactly what just happened…and it’s an absolute blessing.
