Astrid StawiarzGetty Images Gigi Hadid’s great at making headlines, so naturally she’s an expert at wearing them, too. At Jeremy Scott’s Spring 2020 fashion show, the supermodel arrived in overalls plastered with news stories—appropriate, since the runway itself was loaded with colorful clickbait.

Leaf Xia “Leaf Xia’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection is focused on the traditional Tang Dynasty aesthetic with a modern feminine edge. Drawing inspiration from the motifs of the period including the peony, koi fish, and traditional paintings of maids, the color palette includes gladiola red, which serves as a strong accent throughout the collection.”
New York Fashion Week has officially kicked off, and while it’s definitely a privilege to look at beautifully constructed clothes for a living, it’s still a job at the end of the day. And like with any gig, sometimes you need some hyper-specific things to get you through those high-stress, fast-paced days. Ahead, five ELLE
In August, Joe Jonas was spotted out in New York City donning a dark blue denim jacket emblazoned with a large portrait of Sophie Turner’s Game of Thrones character, Sansa Stark. The middle Jo Bro has sartorially displayed admiration for his wife before, but the custom-made piece featuring Stark’s imposing visage took it to another
We were all “the new kid” once—in school, on a soccer team, at the first day of work. These 12 designers are no different, except instead of cafeteria jitters or office floor plans, they’ll have to conquer the famously fickle runways at New York Fashion Week. (No pressure!) Let’s meet the new class of 2019,
Can somebody please say a prayer for my debit card? There’s nothing wrong it, per se, but just when I thought I was finished with Fall shopping, Shopbop swooped in with an exclusive capsule collection to celebrate its 20th anniversary with 20 designer pieces from, you guessed it, 20 different designers. The capsule collection, called
To lead or not to lead? That is the question that Net-a-Porter set out to answer when it launched the Vanguard, a program for dawning designers who receive mentorship from and have their labels stocked by the e-commerce site. In the Vanguard’s third season, Net-a-Porter has announced the four new brands it plans to catapult
By definition, Hot Girl Summer shouldn’t have involved cashmere. Then came Khaite. The emerging label nabbed a win last week, when Katie Holmes wore its dust-colored wool bralette and cardigan while out shopping in Manhattan. Thin, rich, and bronze-shouldered, Holmes vibrated with the power of ‘70s Jackie O. and ‘90s Liv Tyler. Designer Cate Holstein
Rodarte/Daria Kobayashi Ritch School picture day was a stressful and daunting event that few of us want to remember, but in Rodarte’s world, it’s a dreamy day where Rowan Blanchard poses like an 80s prom princess, Euphoria’s Alexa Demie does her best Cruella de Vil impression, Lili Reinhart snuggles with a cute puppy, and former
This week marks one year since I started using Rent the Runway Unlimited. The $159/month service, which allows me to rent four pieces at a time for as long as I want, has brought me a lot of joy: I basically eliminated shopping for clothes (shoes are another story). I didn’t purchase a single coat,
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Madagascar, lies the tiny island of Mauritius. Encircling it like a necklace is one of the world’s largest coral reefs, which, like coral reefs everywhere, is under threat from warming oceans. Over the last few decades, Mauritius’s beaches have shrunk by 65 feet, in

Smart shoppers know that you can often find really good discounted items during those end-of-the-season sales. There is always the chance that what you like is sold out, but that won’t be the case today. J.Crew is having a summer sale with an extra 50 percent off sale pieces (and 40 percent off regular-priced items)!
Alongside PSLs and leggings, a fleece jacket used to be a key part of the Basic Student starter pack. Now, the fashion industry is claiming it as its own. Indie designer Sandy Liang was the first to adopt the look back in 2015 with her Insta-famous outerwear, but the trend is peaking. Philip Lim, Fendi,
With the rise of clothing rental services and super fast digital shopping sites, several brands are feeling the heat, including beloved mall brand Forever 21.

Courtesy Labor Day Weekend is coming and we suggest you end your summer on a high note with a well-deserved trip. But instead of schlepping around a worn-out duffel bag, upgrade your travel style with a chic carryall that says “I’m an adult”—even if your weekend is filled with questionable decisions. Currently, we’re eyeing a
I live in fear that a stranger will snap a photo of me wearing a leopard midi skirt in the wild, only to be dragged in the comment section of a catty (albeit hilarious) Instagram post. The style has long been considered a neutral wardrobe staple, but its increasing popularity in 2019 has made the

The fashion industry has had a long history of using unethical practices to produce clothing, but thanks to the G7 Fashion Pact, history will (hopefully) no longer repeat itself. A coalition made up of 32 global luxury retailers brought together by French President Emmanuel Macron and representing around 150 brands have pledged to fight the
Gala Fashions goes where no other jewelry has gone before. Each one of a kind piece evokes its own personal attitude and immersive experience. It’s bold, yet elegant. It’s androgynous, yet feminine. It’s Goth, yet Urban. It’s noisy, yet quiet. It’s fluid, yet sexy….and every creation is different, no two pieces are ever a like.
Sonny Vandevelde Michael Kors skipped his senior prom for a much more pressing engagement: a night out at the legendary Studio 54.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it for you: Finding the a great dress for the end of the summer is easier said than done. In a perfect world, you’d be able to find something lightweight enough to wear to the beach or a backyard barbecue, has long sleeves to protect you against cooler summer nights,
