Jamie McCarthyGetty Images The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and several other Black people who were killed recently sparked protests in streets worldwide, and a movement on social media that saw fashion and beauty companies addressing its lack of representation and announcing plans to remedy its shortcomings. But, rather than wait around for companies

A few of fashion’s biggest names may have already ditched the Fashion Week schedule, but Burberry’s Riccardo Tisci isn’t ready to say goodbye just yet. This September, Burberry is taking its spring 2021 collection to the great outdoors to digitally debut the Burberry in Nature runway show. The immersive experience, set for September 17 will

Few fashion items have managed to transcend the trend cycle quite like the Clarks Original Desert Boot. Since Clarks first introduced the design into the fashion vernacular 70 years ago, the boot’s minimalist design and universal functionality have made it a closet staple for generation after generation. And today, the style’s enduring legacy and classic

When Courtney Love traded her “kinderwhore” trappings for an Atelier Versace gown that clung to her like Saran Wrap at the 1997 Oscars, some fans felt betrayed—as though their grunge goddess had sold out. But these days, when a young artist like Billie Eilish shows up on a red carpet in Gucci or Chanel, it

Like the Fairy Godmother transforming Cinderella into the belle of the ball, LaQuan Smith‘s magical touch does the same to just about anyone who dons one of his pieces. There’s no such thing as too sexy in Smith’s world where body-confidence and luxury reign supreme. Beyoncé, Rihanna, Serena Williams, and Jennifer Lopez are all fans.

Christian VierigGetty Images While some brands are understandably struggling with the devastating impact of coronavirus on business, others are thriving. Namely, Rebag, a luxury retailer specializing in used designer handbags. As customers continue to buy less, more thoughtful, sustainable purchases are becoming more of a priority.

ThirdLove has always strived to make every woman feel confident and celebrated—it’s a mission that’s been the driving force behind their brand since its inception.

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of the pandemic and consider what life will look like post-coronavirus, the fashion industry has been forced to make some changes of its own.

Samir HusseinGetty Images Givenchy has tapped Matthew M. Williams as the new creative director of Givenchy. The Chicago-born designer is the seventh individual to helm the iconic French fashion label, following Clare Waight Keller, who departed the brand in April 2020 after becoming the first woman to hold the title, bringing a ladylike charm and

We wouldn’t be surprised if the current time period, specifically the late 2010s to the early 2020s, is one day branded as the age of comebacks. 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

Singers from Beyoncé to Lizzo have mastered it—the “mean mug.” You bring the edges of your top and bottom teeth together and lift your lips away from your gums. You must fully commit to the pose (bonus points for a mean squint). It’s the only way to show off a bejeweled mouthpiece: “grillz,” “mouth bling,”

Amplifying Black voices involves more than just collectively heralding it in the streets. Indeed, it is a great start, but to really stimulate continuing change and repeal systemic racism in myriad industries, those in positions of power and influence need to put their money where their mouths are. This is what Aurora James was requesting

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 their products (in order to control the value of their goods), and you’ll rarely find a Chanel bag on clearance in a Chanel store. The

When Hilal Ibrahim found out that Muslim healthcare workers were throwing away their hijabs in between shifts for infection control purposes, she set out to design a sanitary head scarf that could be easily washed and safely reused. The Minnesota fashion designer and owner of Henna & Hijabs, a boutique specializing in organic henna and

Just when you thought that dating in quarantine would at least free us from the world of ghosting, a sneaker collab dropped early this morning like an unprompted 2 AM text. Launching today, Converse teamed up with Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) for a pair of messy sneakers that are out here to undo all

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. Store closures, legacy brands filing for bankruptcy, and as of late, fashion houses postponing or canceling upcoming fashion shows. Gucci is the latest house to switch up its Fashion Week strategy announcing that it will only show two

On Friday night, May 22, the internet belonged to a black woman. Amid the usual Instagram DJ live sets, photo dumps of simpler times pre-coronavirus, and sheer boredom Tweets, Congolese designer and Hanifa founder, Anifa Mvuemba, debuted her latest collection Pink Label Congo via 3D renderings on Instagram Live. The move was in response to

When quar started back in March, we were dealing with unpredictable times and even more unpredictable weather. Rain poured down as we sheltered in place and we quickly turned into creatures of comfort, reaching for stress-reducing house slippers, fleece sweaters, and, most notably, sweatpants. We were walking Regina George memes, and lived in fear of

Hanifa just debuted its latest collection on Instagram Live using 3D models. Designer Anifa Mvuemba planned the digital-only show before the coronavirus pandemic. Fans were particularly delighted to have access to the groundbreaking online fashion show during quarantine. The coronavirus pandemic is changing so many industries worldwide. One such change that is already taking place,

Getting a healthy dose of retail therapy has never been more vital. Luckily, Memorial Day Weekend is granting three full days of online shopping opportunities to seize upon. And this year—you’re not wandering from your couch (or even putting on a bra) to search for deals. Ahead, a curation of the best sales to shop,

Classy, bougie, ratchet—all characteristics that typify Savage x Fenty, music icon Rihanna’s lingerie brand. They are also the lyrics to “Savage,” Megan Thee Stallion’s hit song that was released in March and got the Beyoncé treatment a month later. So it just makes sense that the two songstresses would eventually combine their savagery. Today, Savage

Focus On SportGetty Images When ESPN premiered The Last Dance in April, the 10-part series on Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls hit the ratings jackpot, becoming the most-watched documentary on the network. Its final two episodes aired Sunday. Nearly two decades have passed since Jordan’s retirement from the NBA, yet he’s as

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images Maybe our current all-sweatpants-all-the-time lifestyle has you dreaming of couture: the creampuff ballgowns, the intricate embroideries, the elaborate confetti-strewn finale. And few do that better than Schiaparelli. When Daniel Roseberry took over the house last year, he had big (shocking-pink) shoes to fill. Namely, those of the house’s founder Elsa Schiaparelli, who

There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the upcoming Spring 2021 Fashion Week circuit, with brands like Saint Laurent and Marc Jacobs opting out of presenting due to the coronavirus pandemic. But Pyer Moss’s Kerby Jean-Raymond has found an alternative solution: a drive-in movie premiere. Jean-Raymond announced that instead of hosting a runway show, he’ll unveil

Through its Design For All collaboration series, Target gifted customers two decades worth of designer collaborations featuring the likes of Missoni, Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, and and ranging from kids’ clothes to home goods.

If you’re looking for your next binge-watch (and aren’t we all?), add Amazon Prime’s show, Making the Cut to the list. It premiered at the end of March, and the entire first season is now available to stream. If you’re a fan of fashion-competition shows dotted with occasional drama and snarky comments, you’ll whip through

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images There’s been a lot of talk about how to fix fashion and make the industry more sustainable, but much like the weather, it’s too often a topic that generates much discussion and comparatively little action. Dries van Noten—who might just be the Elizabeth Warren of the fashion industry—is hoping to change that.

Talking about silver linings in quarantine is a difficult proposition, and the Internet can be a tricky place for rooting out positivity right now. But the truth is that most Americans are home all day, working, not working, worrying about not working, caring for children—and, yes, some are fashion-influencing on the Internet, and Instagram in
