Stepping into Selkie’s spring/summer 2023 show venue was akin to joining an unapologetic celebration of all shapes, sizes, and forms of femininity.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. The fashion moment that seemed to galvanize the most people this season didn’t take place on the runway. When, on what happened to be the last day of New York Fashion Week, Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard announced that the eco-minded outdoor

Kathryn Wirsing In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month we spoke with Aya Kanai, whose passion for visual art has taken her from the world of puppet theater to high-rise offices at some of the

It’s been a busy year for Hailey Bieber, to say the very least. Between launching her critically-acclaimed (and frequently sold-out) skincare line Rhode and becoming a Tiffany & C0. ambassador, the multi-hyphenate star remains one of the best-dressed celebs in the biz. Fitting, then, that she’s taking her know-how on the style front to basics

Few designers today tread the line of bad taste and good taste like Tom Ford. In fact, he’s been doing it for almost 40 years now, since working for brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci. He defined, then redefined, then redefined again what the modern woman wants and needs. In Ford’s mind’s eye, she

It would be infuriating that Natasha Lyonne hasn’t fronted a major fashion campaign yet, except the one she finally landed is just so good. As the new face of COS, the actress / director / producer stares down a camera lensed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Camilla Nickerson. In the images, Lyonne wears a

Ancient Egyptians venerated turquoise, working the vivid gem into jewelry and scarabs. (King Tut’s burial mask was even decorated with the stone.) These days, turquoise is enjoying a renaissance among jewelry designers, and Van Cleef & Arpels is leading the charge. With its 12-piece Perles d’été high jewelry collection, the French brand showcases the motif

It Bags were over in 2008, or so declared trend pieces in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. In the face of the biggest financial collapse since the Great Depression, the very notion of those symbols of turn-of-the-century conspicuous consumption—the Fendi Baguettes, the Chloé Paddingtons, the Dior Saddles, and many others that cost

Finding a good pair of jeans is the sartorial equivalent of locking down a best friend. Both should be trusty, long-lasting, and supportive no matter what. Once you find one, it’s for life. In honor of Cowgirl Couture season, we talked to four real-life barrel racers about their go-to denim for ELLE.com’s latest installment of

Getty + Design Leah Romero As cooler weather starts to roll in, nothing feels more fall than cozying up in a trusty pair of boots and a denim blouse. Cowgirl Couture season has officially galloped in with a full-force howdy. But don’t let preconceived notions of poofy prairie dresses turn you off from Western wear.

For a brief moment during the LaQuan Smith spring/summer 2023 show, I, too, was flawless. Dear editor: Please excuse any typos, I’m writing this while devouring the free snacks on JetBlue. An off-brand Cheese-It in the sky? That’s show business, baby. I’m jetting (in coach) back to my normal, sweaty, unfashionable life in L.A., where

If I told you that Carolina Herrera’s spring/summer 2023 collection was full of florals, I know what you’d say: Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. But actually, they were groundbreaking! Inspired by the classic novel The Secret Garden, creative director Wes Gordon’s gorgeous collection of breezy, blooming prints seemed so vibrant and so alive that they practically

To most of the world, Gisele Bündchen is a bona fide supermodel—so famous she doesn’t need a last name. But to nine-year-old Vivian, Bündchen is better known as Mommy. And on a recent summer day in Paris, Mommy was up to something strange. Bündchen brought her along to a fashion shoot for the first time

It’s Cowgirl Couture season, y’all. From Lucchese boots to wide-brimmed Stetsons, high-fashion this fall is all about rodeo wear. Read more about Cowgirl Couture here. The camera slowly pans in on Beyoncé wearing shades and a sleek black cowgirl hat. Her arm raises to reveal the majestic drape of fringe from her leather jacket, a

Raul Lopez of Luar knew that we were hungry for a showstopper, so he gave us just that. On Sunday night at The Shed, hundreds of fans and family members rushed the doors to pay witness to the designer’s spring/summer 2023 show, titled “La Alta Gama” (translation: “high class”), a reference to the Rochy RD

For the latest edition of Style Points, a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world, ELLE is celebrating all things Cowgirl Couture. Fashion never met a niche it couldn’t barrel its way into. But the world of cowboy wear was, for so long, the province of dusty Western-inspired stores and rodeos, not

Just when you thought Burning Man was over, Joseph Altuzarra went ahead and brought desert-ready fashion to the runways of New York Fashion Week—tastefully, of course. For spring/summer 2023, the designer looked to Don Juan and Desert Solitaire, an ode to nature in southeastern Utah written by Edward Abbey, neatly wrapped in fabric and left

Every September marks a season of new beginnings. Summer is finally over, kids are back in school, and New York Fashion Week is officially upon us. This year is shaping up to be the biggest one in recent memory, with just over 100 designers showing IRL and online, including a few Europeans. We’re hitting the

The vibes are off in Paris, at least according to the city’s high priestess Isabel Marant. “The summer was quite joyful,” she says. “But soon, it will be not so joyful. There’s a feeling that people will struggle with the rising prices of electricity and gas and restrictions [on fuel use] happening. I’m not sure

Full disclosure: I’ve been to fashion shows before. But when I heard I’d be sitting front row at Christian Siriano’s show during New York Fashion Week, I could barely contain my excitement. This was huge. The big time! His runway was different from others I’ve been to in the past—it was totally immersive and anything

Avant-garde, a bit gritty, and relentlessly vibrant, Manhattan’s East Village has long been haven for artists, musicians, and creatives. It’s a magnetic neighborhood brimming with energy, creativity, and history and is—unsurprisingly—a beloved hang out spot for NYC fashion insider Ivy Getty. “I feel so lucky to live here and call New York City home,” she

Allow me to set the scene. It’s sometime in the 2000s. A commercial for Moon Boots interrupts What Not to Wear. The Black Eyed Peas just dropped a hot new single, and you’re checking out a little-known artist named Rihanna.
