Meet the Creatives Who Look to the Tabi Boot as Muse (W Magazine)

There is no shoe quite as divisive as the Tabi. Inspired by the shape of a 15th Century Japanese sock and translated into its now well-known form by Martin Margiela for his debut collection in 1988, the hoof-like creation is—love it or hate it—an enduring icon. A shock at first, it has become a staple of the art and fashion worlds, appearing on the feet of creatives and iconoclasts year after year. It has inspired countless imitations, from Prada’s 2012 red split toe booties to Vetements’ controversial FW18 appropriation. But is it art?  The creative director Sidney Prawatyotin, who runs the popular fashion meme Instagram account @siduations, purchased a too-tight women’s version in black before the house started releasing the style in men’s...

Kendall Jenner has only been on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a few days, but she’s already worn her way through an entire season of summer trends. We’re not sure which brand of luggage Jenner prefers, but she’s somehow found space to pack it all. Already during her getaway, she’s worn a few bucket hats; multiple instances of tactile summer knitwear; chunky, colorful jewelry; wide-leg pants; a touch of vintage Jean Paul Gaultier; several barely there bikinis; square sunglasses; and, for good measure, some Birkenstock sandals. Although Jenner just celebrated a pivotal one-year anniversary with her boyfriend, Phoenix Suns player Devin Booker, the vacation is reportedly a girls-only trip. Best friend Hailey Bieber joined Jenner on the getaway, sans her husband Justin Bieber. That leaves more...

Get your hair clips ready and take a look at some of our favorite ‘90s-inspired hair looks: Dua Lipa Photo by Steve Granitz/Via Getty Images.

Isabel Marant, the designer behind a very specific sneaker era in the 2010s, is relaunching one of her coveted styles and giving it a 2021 update. Named the “Balskee,” this brand new style takes inspiration from the beloved “Bekett,” which you may remember is a wedge sneaker with a gum sole, velcro straps, and padded, puffy tongue. The throwback style was a massive hit, worn by off-duty models, fashion editors, and celebrities alike. Beyoncé sported a pair in her music video for “Love On Top,” and Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen, Marion Cotillard, Kerry Washington, and more have been spotted in them, too. Since its release nearly a decade ago, more than 200,000 “Bekett” sneakers have been sold worldwide. “I’ve never stopped wanting to...

While New York Fashion Week this September is shaping up to be the most eventful ever, we’re not quite there yet. Before the fashion crowds return to NYC en masse and Hollywood descends upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s steps for the first of two Met Galas, there are the resort collections to see. Unlike in years past when designers have seized upon the cruise moment to present their designs in far-flung resort destinations in front of large crowds, fashion houses are still playing it safe and delivering their creations via short fashion films and inventive lookbooks. Although the digital show format is a convenient, low-key experience for those viewing from their couch, the clothes themselves have become more colorful and daring—suggesting what wardrobes need now, more than...

FASHION
What do you think of when the word “Ferrari” comes to mind? You think about unparalleled luxury, fast motion like the speed of light, expressive sensuality, and the bold future of modernity. That’s exactly what the legendary Italian car manufacturer has just brought to the fashion industry in the form of the brand's first-ever, ready-to-wear collection. To celebrate the latest extension of the sports car powerhouse, Ferrari pulled out all the big guns in an all-weekend fête in the hometown of Ferrari in Maranello, Italy (which I now refer to as Ferrari-land due to its grandiose presence through the quaint-yet-chic town, which literally could give Disneyland a run for its money.) Just one look through the palatial property, which includes truly...

Now that mask-wearing is optional for fully vaccinated individuals in many indoor and outdoor settings, many of us are thinking about how we can put our best face forward. The best whitening toothpastes are of course an important part of that equation. Dr. Reena Wadia, a periodontist who runs RW Perio, a specialist private practice in London, recommends Colgate Max White toothpaste. Alongside that, though, she has advice for at-home dental care. “Do not underestimate the value of good brushing and interdental cleaning,” she tells Vogue. “Invest in an electric toothbrush and learn to floss or ideally use interdental brushes.” Dr. Reena also specifies the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. “Anything that can stain a white T-shirt will generally stain your teeth,” she says,...
