Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski is the poster girl (literally) for a lot of things: Countless ad campaigns, body positivity, toi-et-moi-turned-“just moi” divorce rings…the list goes on. But perhaps most of all, she’s the poster girl for summer. To further solidify her standing as summertime supreme, EmRata has a new campaign with Victoria’s Secret that’s all about

For Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez Duarte, it also might be the spiky secret to solving fashion’s waste problem. After meeting while studying abroad in Taiwan—and

From Neo’s miniscule frames in The Matrix to Holly Golightly’s much-copied oversize pair in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, sunglasses have been used to both tell and hide our favorite stories.
