By Jillian Morgan Date February 23, 2022 Facebook Twitter A chorus of celebrities — namely Chrissy Tiegen, Serena Williams, Halsey and other public figures — have reframed the conversation around pregnancy in recent years, getting real about grief, the joy of childbirth, body image and maternity style (take Rihanna’s bejewelled baby bump as proof of these shifting norms). In December, supermodel Ashley Graham (then pregnant with two boys,...

By Jenisse Minott Date February 24, 2022 Facebook Twitter Growing up, I had one of those moms that could do almost anything. She cooked jerk chicken, built shelves and, most importantly, she could braid. When I was younger, I would sit on a pillow in front of the TV and get my hair done by her capable hands. After marathoning Charmed or One...

By Zainab Damji Date February 23, 2022 Facebook Twitter With fashion month in full swing, off-runway styles have been giving us major inspo for fall.

By Annika Lautens Date February 23, 2022 Facebook Twitter London will always be the cool, artsy kid of the fashion week schedule.

Designers at London Fashion Week Fall 2022 followed this archetype to a tee, trading in locker lined halls...

By Natalie Michie Date February 22, 2022 Facebook Twitter At one point or another, we’ve all felt like a side character in our own story. The anxiety that life isn’t as exciting as it should be is not uncommon, but rarely is that feeling meaningfully portrayed on-screen. Enter Euphoria character Lexi Howard (played by Maude Apatow). In a show about addiction, toxic relationships and trauma, Lexi brings some much needed levity. As a straight-laced, awkward teen, she’s often on the...

By Natalie Michie Date February 16, 2022 Facebook Twitter When leggy models strutted down the Miu Miu runway last October with belly buttons, hipbones and upper thighs on display, the Italian fashion house had marked the return of the low-rise, ultra-mini skirt. After a summer of Y2K revivals (like the “whale tail” exposed thong and “coconut girl” aesthetic), Miuccia Prada’s presentation upped the ante for early 2000s nostalgia. But by tapping exclusively thin models to wear...

By Jillian Morgan Date February 17, 2022 Facebook Twitter Ignoring the fact that it’s currently the dead of winter, New York Fashion Week was bursting with wardrobe inspiration for Fall 2022. And as always, that inspiration isn’t exclusive to the runways. While neutral hues, tailored coats and cinched waists were trending on the catwalk, spring brights, bucket hats and balaclavas, and mix-and-match textures were all the rage on the streets. But that’s the name of the street-style...

By Annika Lautens Date February 17, 2022 Facebook Twitter It always seems strange to celebrate fall and winter styles just as the weather starts to creep above negative numbers, but thus is the fashion cycle. As the first stop on the Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear world tour, New York Fashion Week set the bar high, despite missing a few of its mainstay designers like Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta for various COVID-related reasons. While the biggest...
