By the time Warren Lotas’ first store opened its doors in Los Angeles on a recent Saturday morning, hundreds of people had already queued up outside. Some had started camping out the night before, eager to get early access to a streetwear brand known for its namesake designer’s distinctive heavy metal-inspired, hand-painted illustrations and high-quality

Coach is something of a fashion unicorn these days. Humble beginnings in mid-1940s New York established the brand as a no-nonsense leather goods maker. That legacy continued throughout the 20th century, and eventually, it was cemented as an American success story, one replete with pebbled leather and the signature “C” monogram print. More recently, however,

Amazon is a treasure trove of hidden gems. Nearly every day, it seems as if another beloved name brand pops up on the platform, or we come across a new in-house label whose stylish-yet-affordable offerings quickly go viral. But unbeknownst to many, the mega e-tailer has an under-the-radar section of luxury apparel and accessories that’s

The only thing better than investing in a designer bag is finding one at a discount. But the problem is that brands like Louis Vuitton historically do not mark down products (in order to control brand image and value), and you’ll rarely find a Chanel bag on clearance in-store. The loophole? Shopping secondhand. We know,

As a shopping editor, I come across viral products on social media all the time. While I enjoy a useful cleaning tool or hidden shelf organizer, an unusually eye-catching item captured my attention today: a glass, bag-shaped vase-slash-aquarium that shoppers on Instagram have been posting about incessantly.

“I think my first trip to Hawaii was a vacation in Kauai,” contemplates Carolyn Murphy. “I was immediately captivated by the greenery and the lush tropical land—like I could see and feel the earth breathing.” This is a sentiment shared by her design partners.

On my way to the subway one recent morning, a woman approached me and said something that prompted me to take my AirPods out. “What?!” I yelled back, because this is New York, and we don’t usually talk to or acknowledge each other except in rare emergencies. “I love your dress!” she said. After I

As the great modern philosopher Julia Fox once said, “You’re either born a muse or you’re not.” By her own meme-ified suggestion, the actress has been a source of inspiration to many. Most notably, Uncut Gems co-director Josh Safdie and her former paramour Kanye West. Say what you will about the veracity of Fox’s claim,

Meghan Markle brought her most elegant businesswoman style to visit Project Fearless.

Getty + Design Leah Romero Black people are often called resilient. We continue to survive the unthinkable while leaving the world more beautiful and equitable than we found it. More than resilience, it’s our innovation and ability to see what is not yet present—justice, joy, autonomy—and bring it to life. Anifa Mvuemba knows this. As

Before Rina Sawayama was a pop star, she was a gamer. With her hands on a controller, clambering around a virtual world, she could get out of her head and “be that character for the 50 hours or whatever the game’s going to take.” Video games were also a huge influence on her songwriting (and

Nobody doubts the financial acuity of Chloe Cherry. Nobody expects to see her in the office, either. Enter Donatella Versace, who recruited the porn-starlet-turned-Euphoria breakout actress for her newest fashion spread: a SSENSE exclusive starring Cherry in double-breasted power suits, seal-the-deal stilettos, and crisp white oxfords with bustiers busting out at the seams. (Think: Superman’s

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Before it took her to the runways of Tom Ford-era Gucci and Karl Lagerfeld-era Chanel, Carolyn Murphy’s romance with fashion began with a humble pair of Care Bears jeans. Growing up in small-town Florida, she says, “I wasn’t really exposed [to

The Gucci x Adidas collaboration was first teased on the Italian house’s Milan runway in February. And it’s finally available today. The mash-up is full of sportswear codes and soccer pitch logos, but it’s far from your typical athleisure. It’s also sure to sell out quickly. With a 1979 Adidas catalogue as its guide, the

PHOTOGRAPHED BY CAMILA FALQUEZ They were walking, breathing Slim Aarons photos come to life—literally. The photographer who defined midcentury style by taking photos of “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places” frequently captured them at home and at play, and often both. Some 60 years later, much like “walkers” and long lunches at La

Back in 1988, Working Girl’s Tess McGill cloaked her “bod for sin” in oversized blazers and high-neck blouses. Since then, that classic idea of workwear has persisted, despite the every-day-is-casual-Friday mode of

Fashion is all about the juxtaposition of enduring style and of-the-moment energy. It can feel like there’s a riddle enveloped within (what’s meant to last for years, yet catches the zeitgeist for a gotta-have-it vibe?) but when the solution is presented, it invariably feels like it just makes sense. Such is the case with all

“Besties, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: just because you’re paying for it on Afterpay, doesn’t mean you’re not paying for it,” TikToker Maddie White admonishes to her 2.5 million followers, looking directly into the camera. “Four hundred dollars is still $400, and if you couldn’t afford to pay for it all

Rent the Runway is heralding a summer wardrobe of unfettered exuberance: bold color, big prints, skin-baring cut-outs, and event-ready elegance.

The relationship between footwear and seasonal change is symbiotic, especially when you’re shifting from the cooler months of the year to sunshine-filled days of spring and summer. Leather boots are no longer necessary and—at long last—baring your toes and ankles is deemed weather appropriate. This year, the season’s statement shoe trends are a splashy mix

Name a clothing item more versatile than leggings—you can wear them to work out, lounge on the couch, run errands, or just pair with a nice oversized blouse for brunch. But in the world of leggings, there’s one brand that reigns supreme: Lululemon. And, if you’ve never thrown on a pair of comfy Lulu leggings,
