“I’m a totally different designer and person than I was before,” says Bishme Cromartie, a season 17 Project Runway competitor who is back for the show’s All Stars competition and grateful for the chance to show the judges how his work has evolved. “I’ve focused on making sure I’m more intentional with my designs,” he

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. This summer, it seems, everyone wants to be rich. We’re idolizing the “stealth wealth” of the characters on Succession, following the fashion statements from Gwyneth Paltrow’s ski trial, aspiring to emulate so-called “old money” style (a designation so malleable, it’s recently

Over the weekend, Max Mara made the most of Sweden’s 18 hours of sunlight per day with an itinerary chock-full of festivities leading up to the country’s Midsummer festival, which kicks off the summer solstice in a memorable way. (Yes, this is the same event shown in the iconic thriller Midsommar, but, rest assured: this

Copenhagen Fashion Week has been steadily gaining traction among the next generation of fashion lovers looking to up their sartorial game, especially when it comes to street style—but, as insiders know, it’s what’s on the runways that really matters. Today, CPHFW announced this year’s lineup of 31 designers who will showcase their spring/summer 2024 collections

Courtesy Gigi Burris Bridalwear has its mainstays: Frothy ball gowns, long trains, lacy veils. But within my group of girlfriends in their late-20s, the common thread is that mainstays no longer guarantee you to be the main event. Naked wedding dresses are trending. White pantsuits are in. Bridal bikinis are a thing. Call it a

Specifically, “a language of women.” The painstaking work that they have been doing in domestic spaces, without fanfare or recognition, is like an oral history

Last night, on a balmy evening in Rio de Janiero, the fashion set ascended the Santa Teresa hill for what was meant to be a sunset showing of Carolina Herrera’s resort 2024 collection. But Mother Nature had other plans. With the majority of the crowd dressed in the house’s pieces, the rain commenced; fortunately, ponchos

The patriarchy doesn’t pause for movie stars, and Jodie Turner-Smith knows it. The actress is a face of Gucci’s Chime for Change initiative for global gender equality, and for her—like most of us—the subject is painfully personal. “I think when you’re a girl on the playground, it’s pretty obvious that you’re treated differently from the

“Am I showing off my boobs? Or do I just have boobs…and exist?” asks TikTok creator Rachel Levin in a viral video from November 2021. Even though the clip is nearly two years old, the audio has continued to resonate among the platform’s users—nearly 11,000 posts using the sound bite exist, many of which feature

In 2019, Tanya Melendez-Escalante planned a dream trip. The senior curator of education and public programs at the Museum at FIT wanted to introduce two of her colleagues to her native country of Mexico. Melissa Marra-Alvarez, curator of education and research, and Elizabeth Way, associate curator of costume, joined her for a journey full of

Getting dressed is, in a sense, always a prelude to a performance. It’s your daily pregame routine, the moment when you pull on a pair of flared pants or a crochet dress, add a scarf or earrings, take off one thing, then brace yourself for leaving the house. Musicians know this better than anyone, which

When Jordan Firstman rolled up to this year’s Sundance Film Festival to promote his movie Rotting in the Sun in an oversized shearling-trimmed leather coat and white tights, worn proudly with a lusciously hairy bare chest, it was a rare serve that stopped even the most jaded Park City locals dead in their tracks. It

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

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

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
