Chez Panisse, the Bay Area locavore mecca helmed by chef Alice Waters, has long served a singularly minimalist dessert at its casual upstairs café: ripe fruit in a bowl. To select the right figs or pears or olallieberries for each bowl, Chez Panisse’s kitchen staff carefully tracks the ripeness of each one, sorting, sniffing, and

Closets overflowing with Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton will always signal a high fashion pedigree—but lately, there’s one piece that’s become even more of a cult status symbol, with an endearing subversive twist: the baseball cap. The accessory certainly isn’t new, but its presence has expanded in the fashion world, and to boot, more and

Welcome to Same Same, But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, we know a thing or two about shopping—for all ages, and especially our demographics. As we find the best products for you, we can’t help but do a little shopping for ourselves and build our personal (age-appropriate) wish lists. And now,

Shopping with an eye for sustainability is becoming increasingly important to so many of us. But how can consumers avoid falling into greenwashing traps, in which we truly believe we’re being eco-conscious without fully understanding the big picture? How can we demand that brands implement real change? Aurelia Figueroa, Breitling Global Head of SustainabilityThomas Buchwalder

Despite being known for his head-turning looks—on himself, as well as clients like Lady Gaga—Nicola Formichetti keeps his camera off on our Zoom call. Though I’m initially disappointed not to witness a sartorial conversation starter via computer screen, he manages to start off just fine. In fact, the super-stylist-slash-designer brings it all the way back

Expect an extra splash of sequins, velvet, or vegan leather when Emily in Paris season 3 returns this December: Ashley Park’s new Rent the Runway collection has made the fashion closet’s cut. The actress—who plays Mindy Chen in the much-discussed romantic comedy—confirmed to ELLE.com that one of the pieces in her new RTR collab will

It’s not complicated: Avril Lavigne remains one of fashion’s most revered style icons. The cover of her 2002 debut album Let Go kicked off a frenzy for goth couture that continues to influence today’s biggest stars, from Olivia Rodrigo to Willow Smith. The iconic image features Lavigne posing with her arms folded, with her hip

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. More than a million people have seen “Thierry Mugler: Couturissime” over the course of a run that’s taken the show from Montreal and Paris to Rotterdam and Munich. But until this month, it had never come to New York, where the

There’s something about a quick add-to-cart that can boost your mood and quench a seemingly endless thirst for shopping. But nothing quite compares to the thrill of uncovering a preloved gem, particularly after a lengthy hunt. Think about it: That well-worn pair of jeans fits much better than brand-new ones. An already broken-in coat hangs

Ever since her star-making turn in the first season of The White Lotus, Alexandra Daddario has become one of the fashion world’s most consistent red-carpet dazzlers: Her plunging necklines, sheer beaded fabrics, and fishnet bodices have earned her ample real estate in best-dressed galleries. Now happily a Dior girl, the actress most recently brought her

“Wait, are we in trouble?” asked Amanda Seyfried. Michael Kors was trying to get her onto the CFDA Awards’ iconic red carpet, which was really more of a silvery white, but we couldn’t stop talking about our workout songs (her: anything ’90s, me: the entire Dropout soundtrack, especially LCD Soundsystem) and kind of jammed up

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Even by fashion designer standards, Sander Lak is absurdly attuned to colors. Whether it’s the neon-soaked New York City in Taxi Driver (which he saw when he was way too young), or the jangly dissonance of Baskin Robbins’ hot pink and

Fashion’s heavy hitters descended upon Casa Cipriani for the 2022 CFDA Awards last night and, per usual, hijinks ensued. Heidi Gardner confessed to doing jello shots en route to the party, Julia Fox lit a blunt off her Edie Parker clutch, and Cher’s arrival sent everyone into a collective tizzy. Natasha Lyonne had no qualms

Patti Wilson is a woman of few words—publicly at least, famously only giving a handful of interviews over the course of her storied career. She instead lets her work speak for itself, with over 30 years of fashion experience that redefines the way we look at styling. And boy, does the work talk: Wilson’s ability

Amazon has you covered when it comes to online shopping, whether you’re on the hunt for fashion, home decor, fitness gear, or even kitchen gadgets. We could spend hours scrolling Amazon looking for deals, but there’s a much simpler way than doom-scrolling the mega retailer’s endless inventory. If you’re on the lookout for a deal,

To stir up even more publicity for its cruise collection—and incite jealously among its legion of fashion fans—Chanel tapped Sofia and Roman Coppola to direct a short film promoting its stopover at the Faena Hotel in Miami. (The runway show first took place on the beach in Monte Carlo back in May.) Set to the

Combine Parisian pragmatism with a Londoner’s “cool” factor and you’ll get Camille Charrière (a.k.a. Camille Over the Rainbow, a.k.a. Tasmania—more to come on that later). Once a fashion outsider working in finance, Charrière broke into the world of style and celebrities the old-fashioned way, or shall we say the new old-fashioned way: by starting a

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Growing up in Brazil during an era when supermodels felt like the country’s major export, Karoline Vitto didn’t exactly see herself represented on the runway. The favored body type of the time was, as she describes it, “this hourglass figure, where

In the decade since the stunning Moshe Safdie-designed Crystal Bridges Museum opened in Bentonville, Arkansas, founder Alice Walton has made it her mission to bring the art world to her home state. Specifically, the once sleepy town where Walton family patriarch Sam Walton founded Walmart. This fall, her niece-in-law, Olivia, has made the fashion world

Considering England has experienced an unprecedented season with the loss of a monarch and tumult at 10 Downing Street, Barbour, a classic and quintessentially British family-owned brand, is in a unique position to both hold tight to the past and embrace the future. Its famed olive green waxed jackets were a favorite of the Queen,

Feel like life is busier than ever? You’re not imagining it. Our collective social calendars are finally back in full swing, and between office parties, date nights, and catch-ups with friends, there’s plenty worth celebrating. Having a lot of plans also means figuring out a lot of outfits, but one timeless yet eye-catching piece consistently

In case you missed it on Instagram, Fashion Trust Arabia held its fourth annual FTA Prize Award ceremony last night. The international fashion set, including Naomi Campbell, Bella Hadid, and even Janet Jackson flocked to Qatar’s capital of Doha to join the festivities alongside Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, honorary chair of FTA, founder

Princess Diana’s legacy reaches far beyond fashion, but she is still the 20th century’s greatest style icon. In Diana: A Life in Dresses, a new book out from ACC ART BOOKS, fashion journalist Claudia Joseph opens the door to the world’s most coveted closet. From the “Travolta gown” to the “revenge dress,” Diana: A Life

I wear denim nearly every single day. I’ve always been a blue-jean lover, but there’s something about working in the freelance world that truly requires the type of go-anywhere uniform denim provides. I’m a fashion writer and editor as well as co-owner of an antique and estate jewelry company, which means my days are filled

For the past few years, the age-old craft of haute couture has been finding ways to keep itself in line with the zeitgeist—even bringing young brands like Area and Pyer Moss into the fold. But this season, a respect for tradition was at the forefront of some of the week’s major shows, which paid tribute

Unless you’re someone with a disposable income, shopping the luxury market is…not for the faint of heart. It’s a hefty part of your paycheck, after all! That said, when you are ready to treat yourself with a designer bag, watch, or anything else (you deserve it), odds are you want to be sure you’re making

The rules of style often dictate restraint, but based on the winter 2022 fashion trends, there were no such inhibitions. Even the jewelry at the fall/winter 2022 fashion shows went toe-to-toe with blocky shoulder pads, oversized jackets, sparkly tops, clashing prints, and blinding neon fabrics, almost out-competing the clothes for attention. But the metals and

Nobody embodies The American Dream quite like Ralph Lauren. The designer is indisputably the king of East Coast prep, defining and redefining the meaning of casual sportswear for over half a century. Yet he also does Old Hollywood glamour flawlessly, with classic, timeless, and, of course, sexy pieces. His love of both New York and
