Stephane Cardinale – CorbisGetty Images Feminist statements have become the cornerstone of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s collections. A hallmark of her debut collection as Dior’s first female artistic director in 2016 was a plain white T-shirt with the words, “We Should All Be Feminists” written across the chest (later worn by celebrities Rihanna and Natalie Portman—it

In an unexpected move, Prada named Raf Simons as co-creative director joining Miuccia Prada. The powerhouse duo will share “equal responsibilities for creative input and decision-making.” The decision was announced on Sunday at a surprise press conference held on the last day of Milan Fashion Week. Prada joined her family’s namesake label in 1978, premiered

Donatella Versace at her home in Milan. Pier Nicola Bruno Shortly before I interview Donatella Versace, I ask my colorist to bump up my already-straining-credulity blond by a shade. That’s the effect Versace has on you before you even meet her: Some people make you stand up straighter in their presence; she has a way

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images Fashion talks a big game when it comes to inclusion, but few brands can actually back it up.

While fashion month is currently buzzing through Europe predicting everything we’ll be wearing next winter, we’re way more curious to see which trends are going to stick around for the entire year.

Shiona Turini’s history with Barbie dolls is similar to that of many black women. Store shelves would be brimming with Barbie dolls in a range of different hair color shades—blonde, brunette, red, black, etc.—but when it came to complexion shades, options were few and far between. Then, in 1980, Turini’s sigh of relief came in

Katie Collins – PA ImagesGetty Images This London Fashion Week, a hail storm hit so hard, they actually gave it a name: Dennis, like the menace or the basketball player who hangs in North Korea. There were deep puddles outside Buckingham Palace, and deep crowds in front of tiny doors to fashion shows. We wore

Wes Anderson is probably jealous of Emily Adams Bode. She constructs clothes from vintage merit badges and sports pennants. She’s got a whisper network of antique dealers from Paris to Atlanta. She collects tiny pieces of 1960s furniture. She can discern between the different tribes of High School Art Girl.™ (“I was never a jaded

Andrew Morales/WWD/Shutterstock I was the first in my family to be born in Australia. My parents came from South Sudan as refugees; the South Sudanese Civil War was really hard, and my dad wanted the best for us. He came over first with a few friends, and the rest of the families followed. (My mother

She may have been robbed of an Oscar nomination, but Jennifer Lopez is moving on with her life… and with her wardrobe.

John LamparskiGetty Images We’re only a few days into the fall-winter 2020 show season, but we’re already seeing the biggest trends of the year presenting themselves.

At this year’s Academy Awards, Natalie Portman wants you to talk about women. The actress showed up on the red carpet wearing a statement: a black and gold Dior Haute Couture cape embroidered with the names of the female directors who weren’t nominated for an Oscar. In the above video, Portman explains her decision, saying,

Dimitrios KambourisGetty Images Valentine’s Day is upon us, and with it the eternal question: If I can’t find anyone I love as much as Rihanna, why bother? It’s an especially pressing topic this week, as the superstar launches her new Fenty collection at Bergdorf Goodman, the happy place for acolytes of Prada and people watching.

“Do you mind if we sit?” asks Kendall Jenner. “My back kind of aches today.” Of course it does. The model was stomping Tom Ford’s runway in Los Angeles on Friday night– 12 hours later, she appeared at the Longchamp show in Manhattan, posing in a full look from the Fall 2020 collection (a nod

Kylie Jenner attended the Tom Ford A/W 2020 show at Milk Studios in Los Angeles in a compact silver dress made of black netting and sequins. Jenner, who showed up at the event solo, paired the dress with thin-strapped heels and a Tom Ford clutch (appropriate). She added a rose-colored manicure and large silver and

Pushing boundaries is an inherent part of Equipment. It was 1976 when the brand opened a salon in Paris, France, offering a selection of womenswear that didn’t have a clear delineation between what was masculine or feminine. Great fashion, regardless of gender tropes, was the objective, and over the decades, the company has built upon

ELLE’s new series Clothes of Our Lives decodes the sartorial choices made by powerful women—and explores why fashion is often on the front lines of communication. Today, we sat down with New York Times foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi to find out what she wears to interview the world’s most dangerous terrorists. Last year I flew

Without designers, there would be no NYFW. And without a fleet of vehicles ready and waiting to whisk editors and influencers alike to their respective shows and destinations, one can imagine the madness that would ensue. That’s why BMW is returning to NYFW this year as the official automotive partner of NYFW: The Shows and

KAREN COLLINS (STYLED BY SASA THOMANN) What does jewelry look like in the new decade? In the past few years, we saw jewelry scale back: Massive statement necklaces from Gossip Girl’s heyday were replaced by layered chains and charms, and we traded in gaudy earrings for a constellation of stud piercings. Surprisingly, we’re swinging back

Christian VierigGetty Images New year…new shoes? Okay, maybe that’s not a thing, but considering that we just entered a whole new decade, it’s fully justifiable to treat yourself to a pair of shoes. The dawn of 2020 brought us a fresh set of footwear trends, so we talked to the experts at Bloomingdales and Net-A-Porter

Louis Vuitton/Stephane Muratet If you’re a fan of the finer things in life, there’s a whole new way to combine your love for designer items and delicious food…but you’ll have to book a flight.

Donell WoodsonGetty Images Looking back on the 2010s, we can recall some pretty interesting handbag moments. There were elephant shapes from Loewe, a dachshund replicas by Thom Browne, and even a grocery basket from Chanel. Bags of gargantuan proportions walked the runway, and others couldn’t even fit an AirPod . Now that we’ve entered a

As someone who hasn’t worn skinny jeans since 2016, my firstborn child belongs to vintage denim. I want a pair of no-stretch straight jeans that would make Kaia Gerber proud (and my gynecologist cringe). Sitting down should be a daily struggle, and the leg opening better not touch my ankles. Once again, Everlane answered my

Everything was coming up roses on the Grammys red carpet, because a bunch of celebrities showed up wearing pink power suits. We’re guessing Lil Nas X, Tyler the Creator, Shawn Mendes, and Common hopped on a FaceTime conference call before the Grammys to coordinate, and now we are eternally grateful to them. Ranging from dominatrix

Steve GranitzGetty Images Priyanka Chopra pulled out all the stops in a satin Nicolas Jebran backless halter gown on Saturday night at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammys Gala. Like the red dress Beyoncé wore to the event, Chopra’s champagne gown features a high slit that showed off her leg. Chopra’s husband, Nick Jonas, also joined her

It’s Grammys weekend, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z are out on the town and stunning us all with their looks. On Saturday night, Bey wore a scarlet gown that showed off her curves. The dress was one great accessory, so she didn’t need to dress it up with any big pieces. She kept her hair down

One of the most viral moments of fashion month—aside from J.Lo at Versace in a re-creation of the neckline-down-to-there Grammys dress that launched Google Images—was the model Leon Dame stomping down the runway at the Maison Margiela show in Paris. It was the walk that got everyone talking: chaotic, hunched, and slightly rushed. It went

Kaia Gerber was just a few years shy from being a 90s baby, but with one of the biggest supermodels of 80s and 90s as her mother and a signature style of oversized sharp-shoulder blazers, high-waisted mom jeans, and crop tops, fashion’s it-girl has been doing her homework. Now, Kaia is adding another feat to

The iconic “bloody” red soles are to Christian Louboutin what the split-toe Tabi is to Maison Margiela. The latter of which has morphed into a bevy of silhouettes since it first debuted in 1988, but the controversial style lives on. Today, Maison Margiela debuted an updated version of the Tabi silhouette, this time for sneakerheads.
