For the latest edition of Style Points, a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world, ELLE is celebrating all things Cowgirl Couture. Fashion never met a niche it couldn’t barrel its way into. But the world of cowboy wear was, for so long, the province of dusty Western-inspired stores and rodeos, not

Only a handful of women have successfully merged high fashion and the American frontier: TV cowgirl Dale Evans and her signature white boots, Dolly Parton’s hand-embroidered Nudie Cohn suits, Beyoncé in a black Stetson hat. In 1998, country-pop singer Shania Twain left her mark on Western wear with a hooded leopard one-piece in the “That

The vibes are off in Paris, at least according to the city’s high priestess Isabel Marant. “The summer was quite joyful,” she says. “But soon, it will be not so joyful. There’s a feeling that people will struggle with the rising prices of electricity and gas and restrictions [on fuel use] happening. I’m not sure

Every September marks a season of new beginnings. Summer is finally over, kids are back in school, and New York Fashion Week is officially upon us. This year is shaping up to be the biggest one in recent memory, with just over 100 designers showing IRL and online, including a few Europeans. We’re hitting the

Full disclosure: I’ve been to fashion shows before. But when I heard I’d be sitting front row at Christian Siriano’s show during New York Fashion Week, I could barely contain my excitement. This was huge. The big time! His runway was different from others I’ve been to in the past—it was totally immersive and anything

Avant-garde, a bit gritty, and relentlessly vibrant, Manhattan’s East Village has long been haven for artists, musicians, and creatives. It’s a magnetic neighborhood brimming with energy, creativity, and history and is—unsurprisingly—a beloved hang out spot for NYC fashion insider Ivy Getty. “I feel so lucky to live here and call New York City home,” she

Model and It Girl Gigi Hadid has officially launched her own cashmere brand—and just in time for sweater season. As of today, you can shop the Hadid’s 100% cashmere collection from Guest in Residence. With Hadid at the helm as founder and creative director, the brand offers timeless designs with quality execution, manifesting in “heirloom”

New York Fashion Week is never not hectic. The packed schedule of shows, appointments, and parties is something curator and critic Kimberly Drew is keenly familiar with. Known in the art world for her work highlighting and uplifting artists of color, Drew is also a writer who regularly contributes to top-tier publications, and the author

It’s hardly an overstatement to say Narciso Rodriguez is an icon of the American fashion industry. Born in New Jersey to Cuban parents, he fell in love with clothes through the women in his family, taking inspiration from their timeless sense of style. Since the early ’90s, Rodriguez has garnered a loyal following by designing

T.S. Eliot may have measured his life in coffee spoons, but millennial girls do it in Selma Blair movies. We hit high school as she hit the big screen in Cruel Intentions; we got our diplomas as she scored her law degree in Legally Blonde. Our first G-strings were inspired by her Sweetest Thing sexcapades;

Allow me to set the scene. It’s sometime in the 2000s. A commercial for Moon Boots interrupts What Not to Wear. The Black Eyed Peas just dropped a hot new single, and you’re checking out a little-known artist named Rihanna. You snack on an Uncrustable in the family computer room, multitasking between AIM and caring

When it comes to fashion campaigns, few are more iconic than Calvin Klein. For decades, being handpicked to rock jeans and underwear has stood for much more than simply showing a little skin: it’s a sign of transcending a moment and becoming a bonafide cultural icon. For its fall campaign, the brand whittled its tried-and-true

Since 1860, Chopard, the famed Swiss jewelry and watch company, has been known for its luxe pieces. Its newest collection, My Happy Hearts, takes that elevated design sensibility and adds a touch of whimsy, for joyful accessories that are as wearable as they are chic. The collection is comprised of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings,

It’s that time of year where we all start to (reluctantly) trade our linen shirts and jorts for something more relaxed—and decidedly more cozy. Enter Savage X Fenty, Rihanna’s wildly successful intimates label that has taken the lingerie market by storm with its vast size and gender inclusivity. The brand’s latest launch expands into the

Given fashion’s ongoing waste problem, in recent years, sustainability has risen to the top of every smart shopper’s list. And with monumental steps being made every day to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of clothes and bags (we’re looking at you, secondhand sites), a key component of our daily outfit has somehow been

I remember the exact moment I was sold on sneakers as the secret to making any outfit look effortlessly cool. In 2015, I watched a designer take a bow at the end of her runway show wearing slouchy trousers paired with plain white sneakers—and immediately set out to get my own pair. Almost a decade

For me, as a writer, vintage clothing holds special value: There are stories embedded in the seams, memories stuffed in the lining, caught between the pleats, and hidden in the hems. Sometimes the previous owner has left evidence: a shopping list in the pocket, a coffee stain or a rip from an ecstatic night out

The release of Meghan Markle’s debut podcast series is exciting in itself, but the fact that her outfit from the cover art is shoppable—and under $25? Thrilling. The first episode of the Duchess of Sussex’s Spotify exclusive series, Archetypes, premiered today. The cover features a brand new black-and-white portrait of Meghan in which she wears

It brings us no pleasure to report that summer is on its way out. But for those of us who are ready to layer up again, it’s almost our time to shine again. Madewell is ready to help us lean into autumn dressing again with their fall collection, one that’s as well-priced as it is

While the paparazzi probably aren’t following you on the regular, there’s something to be said for maintaining an A-list-level of polish wherever you go (after all, you never know which ex or coworker you might run into). If you’re planning a trip this summer like much of the rest of the world, consider copying the

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Most designers would give anything for the staying power that Issey Miyake had. The designer, who passed away at 84, straddled the worlds of avant-garde innovation and mass appeal comfortably, becoming known for his pleated separates as well as his hit

I love denim. Be it in the form of jean shorts for summer, mom jeans for weekend errands, or an oversized denim jacket for fall, denim is my tried-and-true category that never fails (even for the slightly less casual moments). Yes, I’ve been through the phases of trends; skinny jeans—which once were trendy and then

MEGA//Getty Images Julia Fox has had a busy year. She started her (and everyone else’s) 2022 with a bang with a whirlwind six-week relationship with Kanye West. Since then, she’s become a fashion icon in her own right, from opening LaQuan Smith’s NYFW show in a modern-day revenge dress to wearing a (literal) burning coat

Just when we thought our closets couldn’t get any more jam-packed with Skims goodies, the brand is back with another covetable swimwear drop as we head into the final lap of summer.

Those who know, know: With cool-girl labels like Ganni and Rotate populating the calendar, Copenhagen Fashion Week has been low-key rewriting style codes for seasons—and spring 2023 is no exception. Which is precisely why we compiled the runway trends that are inspiring the Scandis to dress as effortlessly chic they do—and made them shoppable, for

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I distinctly remember meeting Gianluca Russo for the first time at a Project Runway taping several years ago. Back then, he was a young reporter whose enthusiasm for fashion was palpable. Ever since, he’s zeroed in on a specific beat: plus-size

If Daniel Roseberry’s designs came with a recipe, it would boil down to this: seasoning luxury with Surrealism. A few years ago, when the Plano, Texas-raised pastor’s son was at Thom Browne and pitching himself for the role of artistic director of the house of Schiaparelli, he’d taken a measure of what was happening on

Pierre Hardy could have been a professional dancer. But in choosing an alternate route that led him to become the creative director of shoes and fine jewelry for Hermès, he believes he’s been able to achieve many of the same aims. “What I did with dance, and what I’m doing now, is help people to
