Courtesy of Fendi and Versace In a world where luxury houses battle it out to stay on top, smart designers are joining forces. So far we’ve seen Gucci “hack” Balencaiga for its Aria collection. Raf Simons joined Miuccia Prada to co-design for the foreseeable future. And yesterday, Fendi and Versace presented a dual runway, a

Gilbert Carrasquillo/Getty Images Nina Garcia: Your fall collection was a tribute to Broadway. How did that love affair begin for you? Michael Kors: The first musical I ever saw was Annie Get Your Gun, with Ethel Merman. I was five years old. I had no idea who Ethel Merman was. I was knocked out—loved it.

If ever there was a clear-your-calendar type of fashion show, it’s the Savage X Fenty Show Volume 3, a literal extravaganza that just debuted on Amazon Prime Video. It watches like a short film meets extended-cut music video, with gorgeous set design, amazing choreography, some seriously big-name appearances, and costumes that aren’t actually costumes but,

September marks the dawn of fall and the urge to reinvent one’s wardrobe. Plush sweaters, trim coats, and boots of all kinds are seasonal pillars worthy of a refresh. But how to anchor it all with sharp day-to-day sophistication? You can’t go wrong with a poised handbag like the Coach Rogue. It’s one of executive

By the looks of the recently concluded London Fashion Week, designers spent their lockdown downtime either delving deep into fashion history or craving the lights and EDM drops of clubland. While

When Kim Jones took over as Artistic Director of Fendi at the start of this year, the Renaissance man headed straight to the storied Italian house’s vast archive in the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. There, Jones found inspiration aplenty for his first ready-to-wear collection for Fendi: from silhouettes sketched by the late Karl Lagerfeld to

Daniel ZuchnikGetty Images We’ve all been here during the past year’s surge in online shopping: Clicking through a laundry list of stores, scrolling endlessly to find just one perfect jean or sweater—if we’re lucky. We know what we want, but our favorite retailers can’t always deliver it. The home of your go-to styling subscription might

Janaya Future Khan is no stranger to conflict. Their groundbreaking, boundary-shattering work on the front lines of the Black Lives Matter movement as an international ambassador has helped advance Black liberation to the masses, which comes with grief, loss, and brief moments of joy—where one can find it. They are also deeply engaged with the

For style lovers, fashion is the heartbeat of New York City. Of course, many different aesthetics make up the landscape, and each neighborhood has its own distinct style sensibility. Crisp tailoring and classic silhouettes define the Upper East Side. On gritty East Village blocks like Bowery and St. Marks Place, the vibe is more eclectic,

Sustainability is perhaps a newer benchmark for brands in the fashion industry—but it’s a value that has always been considered a signature of Italian style, and Umbrian-based label Fabiana Filippi is no exception. Intricate craftsmanship, careful selection of raw materials, and respect for the land (and the people who inhabit it), have become second nature

Bearing witness to the glamour of the Venice Film Festival, the campiness seen at MTV Video Music Awards, and the no-holds-barred approach to dressing for this year’s Met Gala, we think it’s safe to say that Fashion with a capital F is back on the red carpet. Events may be smaller and more intimate this

It’s been a summer of unrepentant body-con looks. Just look at Megan Fox’s homage to Rose McGowan at the VMAs. And while that train shows

StreetstyleshootersGetty Images Amazon has spent the last five years building their fashion platform exponentially. They’ve brought established and emerging brands on-board to Luxury Stores at Amazon and created in-house labels like Wild Meadow, Mae, Core 10, and more. But just like trying to search the massive platform for the best of what feels like three

On the white-washed rooftop of the PUBLIC Hotel in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, celebrity stylist Dani Michelle looked most at home with a pair of stilettos in her hands. Accompanied by a team of Designer Shoe Warehouse publicists and tastemakers, she floated past the trays of champagne flutes and well-dressed, well-credentialed guests to survey a

Me at LUAR?! I’m not worthy! Truly, that’s how I felt the second my ride pulled up to a remote street in Brooklyn. It was the most “my life is like a movie” I’ve ever felt. I say this because the crowd outside the venue was teeming to get in. There was an immediate energy

Courtesy of Rebecca Minkoff The only fashion rule in stand-up comedy is that you shouldn’t wear shorts because they’re considered “unprofessional.” This never made sense to me. I’m allowed to make jokes about snapping dicks during sex, but I can’t wear a high-waisted denim short? It’s 90 degrees in New York right now—wearing jeans feels

We’re by the ocean, but it’s not just any beach. It’s Jacob Riis Park, where queer people flock to get away from city noise and flaunt our bodies, curves, bulges, rolls, scars… everything that makes us beautiful. “It’s the place where I’ve seen more Chromat in the wild than any place on earth,” says Becca

Usually, early fall—and more specifically September—is my favorite time of the year. In French, we call it la rentrée, which doesn’t have an equivalent word in English, but it basically means back to school. It might seem regressive, I admit. But there’s just an energy I’ve always loved about that time. First of all, everyone

I’m not sure which ELLE.com editor has ties to the NSA, but someone had to have read my June 2021 text message response to Heidi Gardner when she asked me what designers were my go-tos for dresses. Among my responses was Staud, so when I was invited to sit front row at the brand’s spring

Did you know that the glasswing butterfly has beautiful transparent wings and can be found in the rainforests of South and Central America? Or that the protected species are called “espejitos” (“little mirrors” in Spanish)? It’s this commitment to transparency, self-reflection, protection, and the knowledge that a small movement can create change that inspired the

Over the past 11 days, stars descended on Venice, Italy for the city’s annual international film festival. With them, they brought plenty of fashion that rocked social media to the core (cue Zendaya in liquid-leather Balmain, Timothée Chalamet in sparkly Haider Ackermann, and Anya Taylor-Joy in Mattel pink Dior couture). And while the silver screen

Dutch minimalism is coming to the masses. Zara is throwing its hat into the high-low designer collaboration ring with a KASSL Editions capsule. For the uninitiated, KASSL Editions was formed in 2018 with the goal of creating one perfect item⁠: a fisherman’s coat. With that quest, the German label ushered in a refreshing code of

John LamparskiGetty Images Disruptor. Trailblazer. Anomaly. As Telfar Clemens’s star rises in the fashion industry, so too does the number of synonyms used to describe what has been abundantly clear since the designer’s debut: When it comes to Clemens, always expect the unexpected. So when the Telfar team sent out invites for a “press conference,”

In a normal year, the first Monday in May is a holiday in the fashion world. That illustrious date is usually home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala (also known as the Met Gala). On paper it’s a fundraiser event, but to the rest of the world it’s a celebrity extravaganza,

Self-expression has always been important to Larsen Thompson. Spending her childhood in and out of dance classes — she first rose to prominence when a video of her teenage self dancing to a pop anthem went viral — the actress and Global Pandora Muse found herself drawn to anything creative from a young age. “My

When Iris Apfel walks into a room, you couldn’t miss her if you tried. Last night, to ring in her 100th year, the fashion icon and interior designer sauntered into a multimillion dollar apartment at the stunning Central Park Tower dressed head to toe in bright yellow: a frilly jacket reminiscent of an exotic bird,

It couldn’t be a coincidence that my very first New York Fashion Week experience was absolutely dripping in Rich Mom Energy. Sitting front row at Ulla Johnson was a complete dream. I’ve been a shameless superfan of the brand for years because of the genius juxtaposition of utility and femininity—each piece is more wearable and

After becoming a little too comfortable wearing leggings every day, we’ve finally started to have fun with fashion again. And as we soak up the last days of summer and welcome the forthcoming change of seasons, we’re having fun getting away for weekend outings and celebrating special occasions, too. But switching from working-from-home comfort to

Tara Reid remembers watching E.T. as a kid and idolizing Drew Barrymore. “I wanted to be like her,” she says, revealing that the actress and beauty mogul inspired her to pursue a career in Hollywood. “Then, after American Pie, she came up to me at a sushi restaurant and said, ‘Oh my god, I love

September 15 marks the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month—a time when many nations in Central America celebrate their national independence and Latinx and Hispanic people are honored for their history and contributions. Two such women who are paving the way for their communities are Tata Harper and Rachel Gomez, business entrepreneurs who’ve found success
