Genre hybrids are inevitably home runs or noble failures. It’s a popular route for bands to take. Bringing off a collision of musical styles in such a way that it achieves critical mass and sticks in a listener’s memory bank isn’t easy. Pulling it off is more than having the necessary musical skills. It’s about

Lopez at work.Kadar R. Small Raul Lopez has always been inspired by “boss bitches.” As a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, native, the founder and designer of the New York brand Luar spent his childhood in awe of the women who were legends in his neighborhood. “They were Gs,” he recalls. “My mom always said that the man
While #FashionTok may have taken over our feeds, delivering all the latest microtrends straight to our phones, coffee table books still reign supreme when it comes to preserving fashion history. No hashtags or paid ads, just the thumbing of a few pages to find your favorite designer, runway look, photograph, or editorial. And now, with
There are always a handful of designers on the radar of every editor, buyer, influencer, and fashion fanatic as the must-see shows of New York Fashion Week. One such brand is Khaite, known for the cool edge that comes with its highly covetable designs. In line, I overheard attendees murmur with excitement and anticipation, noting
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are not new to this, but true to this. Which is why they’re feeling good mere hours after celebrating the spring/summer 2024 collection they just sent down the runway—the kind of stamina that comes from presenting collections at fashion week for the last 20 years. We’re taking a breather in
kate spade new york is a handbag icon. Among others, the brand is responsible for the Sam, which launched in 1993 and became an immediate classic. Despite having the utmost admiration for the timeless silhouettes and quality of kate spade new york’s bags, I’ve never invested in one—with the exception of the I Love NY
Not even torrential downpour could stop the fashion set from gathering at Spring Studios last night to see Sergio Hudson’s latest collection. On the heels of his first magazine cover, where the designer poses alongside longtime supporter Keke Palmer for Essence, Hudson is a star in his own right, not just someone who creates clothes
It’s a morning like any other on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. At the crammed outdoor cafés, boozy brunch cocktails slosh onto the sidewalk, clutched by young women with nail art and crop tops who seem to be in a perpetual gossip download. As whispers of Timothée Chalamet sightings and Hinge ghosts creep down
Today, Alexander McQueen announced the departure of its creative director, Sarah Burton. Lee McQueen founded his eponymous label in 1992, and Burton has been with the brand since 1996, when she joined him as an intern after graduating from famed London design school Central Saint Martins. She was one of McQueen’s closest and most trusted
Edward Berthelot The same fashion coup de foudre that most girls of her generation felt upon seeing Kate Moss or Alexa Chung struck Jenny Walton when she first watched Roman Holiday. That swirling full skirt Audrey Hepburn wore while careening around the Eternal City imprinted on a teenage Walton to such a degree that she
Last night at the Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards, hosted at the iconic Rainbow Room atop 30 Rockefeller Center, ELLE took home the honor of Magazine of the Year. Editor-in-chief Nina Garcia accepted the award in front of an audience of celebrities, fellow honorees, fashion industry insiders, and cultural tastemakers including Sarah Jessica Parker,
Backstage at Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2024 show, the general atmosphere is electric. Nay, romantic. Held at the iconic Pierre Hotel in New York City, a relic of gilded glory, the floor-to-ceiling murals and elaborate moldings are far from the most opulent items in your line of sight. The venue is no accident: Siriano’s ballet-inspired collection
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. When you think of couture, what comes to mind? Parisian confections floating down a runway, most likely. But American designer Ann Lowe’s custom-made designs for social fixtures from Jackie Kennedy to Marjorie Merriweather Post certainly qualify, even if not in the
Steven Meisel is an enigma to many. First and foremost, he’s a fashion god, as one of the premier photographers in the industry with a career spanning over 30 years. Considering he’s worked with virtually every publication, designer, and brand you could possibly imagine, you’ve likely seen his work, even if you don’t know it.
Khaite fall 2023.Courtesy of the designer “For starters, I didn’t think I was going to win,” Catherine Holstein says of being up for the CFDA American Womenswear Designer of the Year award this past November. “On top of that, I don’t like attention.” So when presenter Christina Ricci called her name, she found herself onstage
Season after season, the fashion industry has been inundated and overpowered by spectacles, both on the runways and in the world. Meta-immersive displays and forward fashion have all reigned supreme as of late, but what goes up must come down. Rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel, the industry is now taking a refreshing turn
Prep is dead; long live prep. Prep is back. Prep never left. Prep is evolving, and by the way, you shouldn’t call it “prep” anymore. Or, anyway, so says the dozens of writers and influencers captivated by the rise of the “old-money aesthetic”; the TikTokers documenting their “dark academia”-inspired wardrobes; the runways once again filled
J.Crew went big for its 40th birthday, marking “40 years of American style” with one of the hottest pre-New York Fashion Week tickets in town. The retailer took over New York City’s scenic Pier 17 rooftop to throw a late summer concert celebration with DJ Amrit and The Strokes performing. Amrit kicked off the night,
“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see,” wrote English critic Samuel Johnson at the height of the Grand Tour’s popularity. (So much for #FOMO being a modern invention.) For young Europeans of means in the
The progressive tendencies of Silent Skies’ Dormant seem like strange musical bedfellows with the obvious singer/songwriter sensibilities of Tom S. Englund’s lyrics and vocals. I admit feeling taken aback by this marriage from the outset and dubious of its success. Dormant, however, is a grower. By the second listen, you start understanding what the duo of Englund and composer/pianist/keyboardist Vikram
Chloë Sevigny’s voice boomed over the speakers at Proenza Schouler’s fall 2023 show as the actress and It-girl read fictional diary entries from the author and It-girl Ottessa Moshfegh. In London, Sir Ian McKellen opened S.S. Daley’s show by reading one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poems. If it seems like the line between fashion shows
One of the best parts of fall is Fashion Week, when the show calendar is booked, and the zip to each and every party is part of the fun. In the dash to pack it all in, style-savvy insiders know that comfort and aesthetics are equally important. Enter Birkenstocks—a perennial go-to for those on the
It’s that time of year again. You know, where we collectively embark on the transition from summer to fall. Believe it or not, we’ll soon be mourning balmy temperatures and weekend trips to the shore. And as we trade in our bikinis for knit sweaters—and change our Starbucks orders from iced lattes to warmer beverages
Building a brand in 2023 is a difficult feat. Many new contenders take to social media, our 21st century marketplace, to gain traction, spread awareness, and even sell products digitally (TikTok Shop is now a thing). However, that’s not the preferred means of connection for Veronica Beard. For the duo of Veronicas behind the label,
Leah Romero Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, 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.
Today we are chatting with the talented Osmunda Music. Welcome! Let’s dive right in – tell us all about how you got started and how you ended up where you are now! My love for music started when I was really young & was inspired by my sweet momma who would play her favorite tunes as she cleaned the house. I started guitar
Don’t look now, but Labor Day Weekend will be here before you know it—which means one thing: fall is coming, and with a new season comes new clothes (obviously). Sure, you may still be experiencing a good share of too-hot-to-handle summer days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a head start on those fall
Chlöe and Halle Bailey are what the industry calls triple threats: singers, dancers, and, despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, actresses. In fact, Chlöe’s first solo tour for her debut solo album In Pieces sold out—which was enough for her to embark on a second leg this fall. Halle, for her part, has had a blockbuster
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “I’m up for anything. What do you want to know?” That’s how Pamela Anderson begins our conversation. It’s morning where she is, namely, at her rustic home on Vancouver Island, off the coast of Canada. Anderson has already been up for
One of the secrets to making it through the brisker-weather months is having all your outfit bases covered in advance. Whether it’s well-tailored suiting separates that can be worn to the office and styled interchangeably, or an arsenal of top-drawer essentials (think silky robes and lacy bras) to further support your looks, a solid stable
