From ’90s revivals to the return of questionable early-aughts trends—to this season’s continuing ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s renaissance—the fashion industry has been heavy-handedly leaning into the culture’s growing obsession

As people who are lucky enough to be able to work from home slide into their 12th week of doing so, certain fashion standbys are starting to feel as remote as a matinee with a large popcorn or a night out at a crowded bar. I’m talking about jeans and all other “hard pants,” anything

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images From the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the fashion industry has faced its troubles.

Classy, bougie, ratchet—all characteristics that typify Savage x Fenty, music icon Rihanna’s lingerie brand.
