One of the greatest tales of transformation is the story of a mermaid going from sea to land, turning into a human and experiencing what goes on above the water’s surface. The Little Mermaid—and the live-action remake of the 1989 Disney classic hitting theaters tomorrow—was perhaps top of mind for Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas

Ellen von Unwerth is having a glitter emergency. The acclaimed fashion photographer is hours from opening her new exhibit—“This Side of Paradise,” a retrospective at SCAD FASH in Atlanta—and her custom black metallic paneling is nowhere to be found. “Apparently it got lost in Korea,” shrugs Unwerth, who favors slim black suits that make her

Attention, shoppers! Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is officially here, and the deals are seriously good this time around. You can save up to 60 percent on items across all categories—from flowy dresses and trendy shoes to beauty essentials and gorgeous swimsuits—through Sunday, June 4. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you that this blowout deals

If your idea of the perfect summer wardrobe consists of all things colorful and crochet (as it totally should), then boy have we got some good news for you! Just in time for all the sunny vibes, two of our fave brands, Mango and Simon Miller, have joined forces to bring us the ultimate capsule

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. It was a comet that first fired Michael Stewart’s imagination. He grew up in Ireland, in a house tucked into a hill. Above it loomed an ancient ringfort, or fortified settlement built into the earth. (He calls them “timestamps in the

Designers like Christian Siriano are a rare breed. Not only is he an acclaimed designer, a member of the CFDA, a marquee name on the New York Fashion Week schedule, and a host and mentor on Bravo’s Project Runway—he’s a man who is deeply in touch with his community and gives back often. As the

NEED FOR TWEED The tasteful textile lightens up for spring, thanks to a muted palette and youthful extras. Chanel FW23.Courtesy of Designers Styling Tip: Eschew tweed’s buttoned-up connotations with abbreviated hemlines, flared legs, and playful accessories with a retro twist. Wear it with: ON THE DOT With clever plays on scale, the classic polka dot

Work can be stressful for everyone—even Natalie Portman. Never mind that the actress and producer is a certified badass who has fought sexism and space invaders, earned a STEM degree from Harvard, and—perhaps toughest of all—danced for hours in pointe shoes while wearing some very bold eyeliner. All that said, she’s still just a girl…standing

It’s 2023, so why was this list of the best plus-size clothing stores harder to craft than I expected? Size inclusivity within the fashion space has unfortunately been an uphill battle for as long as I can remember. And these days, is it really too much to ask for brands to extend their sizes beyond

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Until recently, golf was not exactly synonymous with style. If anything, it was synonymous with its polar opposite, calling to mind Jack Nicklaus’ plaid pants, Tiger Woods’ polo shirts, or Jon Daly’s Zubaz-style trousers. But lately, a whole host of leisure

Let me preface with this: I am not a big fan of dresses. When given the opportunity, I will almost always reach for a pair of jeans instead—and if not something of the denim variety, another style of pants will be on my body. But, every now and then, I find something that compels me

Dua Lipa’s vintage Chanel dress at the Met Gala had pockets. And fashion’s fan-favorite designer Christopher John Rogers sent chunky knitted sets with enormous pockets down the runway just days before. Once a utilitarian symbol and now an embellishment, pockets have fast become this season’s most prominent ornamentation, popping up en masse on Miu Miu

Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial ELLE editors, 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, we’re

It’s an incredibly exciting time for Latin American fashion. The community spans countries, ethnicities, and backgrounds, and boasts an unprecedented number of skilled designers and fashion creatives—and fortunately, the world is finally catching up. It makes sense, then, that two bona fide Latin American fashion legends, businesswoman Constanza Etro and designer Silvia Argüello, have teamed

Like all professionals, Jade Vallario balances work at home with work at the office and aims to look chic while doing it all. Though given her fashionable title—accessories and jewelry editor—Jade may do it with a little more flair. And her Coach Pillow Tabby bag in turquoise is just as much of a multitasker. In

Trends move quickly on TikTok, and fashion has always been cyclical. What’s old or uncool is almost always new and “in” again. Case in point: the video app’s newest tastemakers: the impeccably dressed, coiffed women of New York City’s Upper East Side. Accounts like @LadiesofMadisonAve, @ThePurseBlog, and @NYCFashionGal showcase daily looks from the sartorial set

No three words can vex summer-travel packing more than “just in case.” Taking more than you need, just in case, will always end up weighing you down. But you can avoid “just in case” entirely by packing light and smart, with curated selections targeted for exactly what you’ll be doing and where you’re going. Consider

First came Fendi, then came Arnaldo Pomodoro. The famed Italian sculptor was born just a year after the historic Italian fashion house that has taken inspiration from his work over a decade-long relationship. Now Fendi is celebrating the interplay between the two with Arnaldo Pomodoro: The Great Theatre of Civilizations, an exhibition of the artist’s

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “An accidental activist.” That’s how Phillip Lim describes himself. Later, he amends this: “I just call myself activated.” But the “accidental” part, at least, could apply to much of Lim’s life trajectory. He also considers himself to be “an accidental designer,”

The fans had already been lining the sidewalk for hours when Jennie Kim stepped out of her car. On an otherwise calm street in Seoul’s Seongsu-dong district, the Blackpink singer, rapper, and all-around style icon celebrated the launch of her new capsule collection with Calvin Klein. She was aptly dressed in a monochrome lilac look,

The team at Chanel has been busy, to say the least. Between staging the Met’s new Costume Institute exhibit honoring Karl Lagerfeld, longtime creative director, dressing a bevy of stars including house ambassadors Penélope Cruz and Blackpink’s Jennie for the Met Gala, and opening a brand-spanking-new 30,000 square-foot store in Beverly Hills, the quintessential French

As someone who lives for a good sale section, Memorial Day weekend (which falls on May 27-29 this year, just FYI) is one of my favorite times to shop. Timed right at the turn of the season, it’s the ideal time to score big on coats, cashmere sweaters, and other cold-weather essentials you’ll thank yourself

In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke with Maria Dueñas Jacobs, the founder of the children’s accessories brand Super Smalls. As someone who got her start in fashion at this very magazine, Dueñas

Getty Images As a fashion commerce editor, I get a lot of emails about the things celebrities wear. In turn, I report back to my readers and aid in your efforts to “get the look.” For example, when Jacob Elordi is seen with a Bottega Veneta tote, I’ll tell you exactly which one and where

There are a lot of things that come to mind when contemplating the future of fashion. Maybe it’s the rise of digital fashion—as in NFTs, virtual fashion shows, and augmented reality—which seemingly all belong in a galaxy far, far away. Or, perhaps a little closer to earth, it’s the longevity of our clothes and the

A look from Roland Mouret pre-fall 2023.Courtesy of the designer In the darkest days of his career, Roland Mouret got a very welcome call. Han Chong, the owner of the brand Self-Portrait, was on the line. It was November 2021, and Mouret’s two-decade-old brand had just declared bankruptcy. Chong had an idea. But first, an

With the addition of “new mother” to my CV this year, my to-do list has amassed many new responsibilities that didn’t always clutter my (typically) well-managed workflow. To be clear: I’m not complaining. I couldn’t be more grateful. But as any parent will attest, child-rearing challenges make life feel foreign and chaotic. To color my

There’s something about Louis Vuitton and bridges. The brand memorably hosted its cruise 2018 show in Kyoto, at the wondrous Miho Museum, with models emerging from the mountains to walk down a suspension bridge, and now, in 2023, it decamped to Seoul to use the city’s Jamsugyo Bridge as its backdrop. Maybe it’s the way

There are few things fashion editors love more than a sitewide sale at one of our favorite brands. So it almost goes without saying that this week, ELLE staffers are paying close attention to the 30% off sitewide Alo Yoga sale happening now until May 5. It’s not just fashion insiders who love Alo Yoga.
