Fashion has officially become infatuated with the idea of archives. It’s wildly ubiquitous; now as common as a pair of jeans or an old leather belt stashed in the back of your closet. From people on TikTok marveling over their personal collections and labeling items down to the minute details of exact season and runway

Despite waxing nostalgic about the glory days of Laguna Beach on her new podcast Back to the Beach, Kristin Cavallari has come a long way from Southern California. Now based in Nashville, she’s the founder and CEO of lifestyle brand Uncommon James—which spans jewelry, home goods, and clean skincare—and is currently wrapping up her third

Leather and lace. Salty and sweet. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. All unlikely—yet unmatched—pairings. We’ve admittedly been fascinated by the friendship between the two American icons ever since Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party aired back in 2016. Like many duos, the qualities that make them different are just as interesting as those they have

Whether it’s a dazzling emerald engagement ring or a ruby heirloom necklace, a bright piece of jewelry can instantly elevate any outfit.

In case you missed it, Chopard quietly opened its new flagship boutique in the iconic Crown Building on New York City’s Fifth Avenue. It marks an exciting—and historic—move for the haute jewelry and watchmaking house, from its former home of 15 years on Madison Avenue. To fête the occasion, co-presidents Caroline and Karl-Friedrich Scheufele invited

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. After producing her beloved, ’90s-inspired namesake line for a decade, Jennifer Chun was getting a little burned out. The process had become “so routine that I wasn’t thinking outside the box anymore,” she recalls. “I would produce two seasons and then

Chloe Kim has never been afraid to fall down (she always gets back up), nor to ask for food in the middle of a press conference (she’s frequently hungry, she said…), even less to perform unbelievable tricks, spins, and flips that she alone masters (at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, no less). Not even gravity

My first love was a pair of Birkenstocks. I was on the brink of tweenhood taking cues from the cool older kids at my school, where, seemingly, one shoe was part of the mandated uniform: the Birkenstock Boston clog. The teens of the time insisted on wearing these so much that the principal eventually accepted

They say history is doomed to repeat itself, but to simply say that Hedi Slimane is repeating himself would be trite. Indie sleaze has been the trend on everyone’s tongue recently, inspiring a social media rehash surrounding the hazy days of the mid-aughts. But nobody knows it better than Slimane himself, who curated and perfected

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. She has a seemingly endless, trousseau-like wardrobe; an affinity for matching sets that is unrivaled even by 1989-era Taylor Swift, an aperitivo permanently welded to her hand, and a travel adapter on her Dyson AirWrap.

Diamonds are definitely a girl’s best friend, but a watch may be her best investment. Kristen Shirley recognizes that the world of watches is one shrouded in mystery and filled with machismo that makes buying a watch daunting if you’re new to the game.

You’ve probably seen them plastered across your Instagram feed or on the heels of your favorite influencers: chunky platforms, knee-high boots, and mules in bold patterns that range from gingham to daisies, in playful silhouettes and eye-popping shades like fuchsia and metallic silver. The brand? Larroudé. Over the past two years, the ’70s-influenced footwear has

As we enter the winter season, let’s have a little refresher on how to elevate our basic winter style. We took inspiration from today’s IT-girls like Bella Hadid and Zendaya and the hottest runway shows to give you the best foundation for your winter looks.

For her first big fashion moment, Alexandra O’Neill was locked down, pre-vaccine, and totally alone save for her dog. When newly-minted First Lady Dr. Jill Biden appeared at President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021 wearing a turquoise coat and dress designed by her brand, Markarian, she—and the label—became famous overnight. Nearly two years later, when

You’ve undoubtedly heard the term, but auras remain an abstract concept for most of us. A form of energy, auras are said to be colorful emanations that surround the bodies of all living things. (Even animals!) An aura is felt—only psychics and readers are privy to physically seeing them—and can tell you more about a

Britney Spears is on the radio again, George Lopez has returned to television, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez actually tied the knot

The magical season is here. No matter your celebratory style, there’s a distinct dazzle that envelops our environment. It’s a time when the world seems to sparkle and just the simple act of strolling down the street—which festooned with festive decorations—is an ode to joy.

Getty + Design Leah Romero Everyone wants to be Emma Chamberlain, or at the very least be her friend. How could you not? She’s effortlessly cool, wildly stylish, and refreshingly low-key. “Low-key” for someone with 16.2 million followers on Instagram, that is.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Putting aside the burgeoning 2010s twee revival, the word “quirky” gets a bad rap in fashion. But when Alessandro Michele, then largely unknown, came onto the scene seven years ago, he made eccentricity feel cool again after years dominated by tastefully

You ready for some good news? DeMellier, a.k.a. designer Mireia Llusia-Lindh’s handbag line that’s loved by Meghan Markle and legions of fashionable people alike, is taking 20 percent off its entire site for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

I was already convinced that fireworks follow wherever Sir Elton John treads when he arrived at Saks Fifth Avenue on Tuesday night, ready to ignite the department store’s famous annual holiday lights and window display.

Alessandro Michele, the 49-year-old who came from the anonymous caverns of the design department to revolutionize Gucci, will exit the brand, Gucci announced in a statement today.
