It’s the first day of the new year, and whether you’re reflecting on your resolutions or nursing a hangover, we could all do with a dose of something cheerful to start 2021 off right. And on that, Harry Styles has you covered. The pop star is capping off a year of chart-topping success and Grammy nominations for his sophomore album Fine Line (and, lest we forget, a headline-grabbing Vogue cover) with a surprise video, released earlier today, for his song “Treat People With Kindness.” The black-and-white visual sees Styles as a cabaret star performing in an Art Deco nightclub, decked out in a head-to-toe Gucci look featuring a glittering cropped tuxedo jacket, high-waisted Jazz Age trousers, and a Fred Astaire-worthy sequinned bow tie. It wasn’t just the timing of the...

Gabriela Hearst Named Creative Director of Chloé (VOGUE)

Gabriela Hearst, the Uruguay-born, New York–based designer whose eponymous label turned five this year, is the new creative director of Chloé. CEO Riccardo Bellini welcomed her in a statement this morning. Hearst is the first non-European to hold this post (Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s exit was announced last week). Her craft-forward aesthetic meshes with Chloé’s, but what likely sealed the deal for Hearst was her sustainability bona fides. Last month in an interview with WWD, Bellini indicated that Chloé was seeking B Corporation certification for its social and environmental performance and creating an advisory board to hold the company accountable. “What a brand stands for, its beliefs and values, will become as relevant as products and aesthetics,” he said. For many brands sustainability has become...

Velour is making a comeback, and Irina Shayk is helping spread that message. Yesterday, the Russian model was photographed walking down the streets of New York in a gray hoodie, crew-neck tank, and fitted joggers. The entire ensemble comes courtesy of SKIMS, Kim Kardashian West’s shapewear label that recently introduced a loungewear collection made of the plush knit—one that older millennials know all too well. Velour Hoodie Skimsskims.com $78.00 SHOP NOW In the early 2000s, the velour tracksuit was the outfit of choice for celebs, society swans, and anyone who partied at Bungalow 8. Paired with a Von Dutch cap, bug-eye sunglasses, and a Starbucks cup, the style imbued ease, if indifference. It was a time when Instagram didn’t exist, when the Internet was accessed via dial-up, and when street style...

Even during a retail slump, high-stakes fashion deals persist. After some turmoil, LVMH is moving forward with its acquisition of Tiffany & Co. Alibaba and Richemont recently invested $300 million each in Farfetch, plus another $250 million to establish Farfetch China to create a global luxury-fashion conglomerate. Supreme, the behemoth skateboarding company based in New York, is the latest fashion company acquired in a mega-deal: Today the brand announced its $2.1 billion sale to VF Corporation, the company that owns Vans, The North Face, and Timberland—all frequent Supreme collaborators—and Dickies. “We are proud to join VF, a world-class company that is home to great brands we’ve worked with for years, including The North Face, Vans, and Timberland,” said Supreme’s founder James Jebbia in a...

Everything to Know About the Met’s ‘About Time: Fashion and Duration’ Exhibition (VOGUE)

There will be no shortage of time puns heralding today’s preview of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s new exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration”. So here’s one more: It’s about time this exhibit opened. Postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from its original May 4 date, “About Time” will finally swing open its doors to the public on October 29, nearly half a year later. As such, it has had one of the longest gestation periods of any Costume Institute exhibition—ironic for a show whose very subject is time and timeliness. That irony is not lost on Andrew Bolton, the museum’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute: nor is the paradox of opening a fashion exhibition about time in...

Rihanna on Working From Home, Dressing for Zoom, and Savage x Fenty’s Epic New Show (VOGUE)

In case you were wondering, Rihanna has been doing just fine during lockdown. At times it feels like the beauty mogul, fashion designer, multiplatinum musician, and occasional actress has done everything a person can do, but 2020 allowed her to tackle a new challenge: relaxation. “What I’ve appreciated most is having a still spirit,” she shared over Zoom from Los Angeles. On set into the wee hours doing promos, Rihanna still manages to look Fenty fresh in a black belted leather jacket and lacy bra top. The vibe is glam-goth and arguably the chicest thing to ever grace Zoom. Though she’s clearly mastered above-the-waist dressing, she’d rather discuss the advantages this year’s reset has provided: “Just quieting my spirit and listening to what God and the...

With a career spanning over two decades, June Ambrose has long been the go-to stylist celebrities call. Missy Elliott's black "Michelin Man" suit? June Ambrose.

It was announced today, October 5, that Ambrose will be designing for Puma's women's and girl's lines.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CF6AVYLHODD/ Justin and Hailey Bieber are the masters of couple style. The husband-wife duo rarely step out together without perfectly-coordinated outfits. Their fashion is always in sync, whether they’re on a red carpet or on the streets, usually thanks to a heavy rotation of designer streetwear pieces. For example, just last month they did his-and-hers high-fashion hoodies. This weekend, the pair channeled their doubled-up fashion energy for a date night outing. Posting a series of “Date night” photos to Instagram, Justin shared his and Hailey’s latest fits. If you were expecting classic going-out pieces (in the style of J-Rod) though, then you’d be mistaken. Their date night attire was just as cool and streetwear-minded as their off-duty style. Justin wore a leather Balenciaga moto jacket...

Tonight in Milan, Versace brought a fantasy underwater dreamspace to life for its spring 2021 show. Described as a "utopian settlement on the seabed ruled by Medusa," there was aquatic blue lighting, sculptural sand relics, and a parade of bright, print-splashed, and crystal starfish-encrusted clothes. Speaking to the season's underwater theme—quite literally—was the sea of soaked strands. From Joan Smalls' raven lengths to Mica Arganaraz's shaggy brown curls, many of the models had their hair intricately shellacked along the forehead and down either side of the neck; sometimes with a set of barrettes and ends tucked underneath a chunky necklace to luxe, layered effect.   Furthering designer Donatella Versace's guiding "principles of empowerment, strength and beauty," were the neon-bright fuchsia lips worn by a few of the models including Precious...

It Was Only a Matter of Time Before PPE Went Luxe (VOGUE)

Face masks have dramatically evolved throughout the pandemic. They began as a necessary, utilitarian item. But as they became part of our everyday lives, fashion brands also began reimagining how a face covering can look. Though they’re still essential and utilitarian at their core (at the most essential level, a mask should always safely and comfortably cover one’s mouth and nose), they’ve now become a form of accessory. You can now find a mask in virtually any sort of style, from tie-dyed to covered in sequins. With that in mind, it was only a matter of time before this fashion sentiment evolved to other forms of PPE, too. Case and point: Louis Vuitton announced this week that it will be releasing its own high-fashion...
