Josh O'Connor Jets to Japan for New Eye/Loewe/Nature Collection

Josh O’Connor—the British actor who is best known for playing a lonely, aloof, Wales-deposited Prince Charles on Netflix’s The Crown—is the star of a funky new campaign and film for Loewe’s latest “Eye/LOEWE/Nature” collection, which is available as of today.

Golden Globes 2020: Beyoncé Proved Statement Sleeves Were the Trend of the Night

The 2020 Golden Globes red carpet was a masterclass in the possibilities of the humble sleeve. Stars, seemingly over trends like voluminous skirts, daring cutouts, or statement necklines, went all in on taking sleeves to the extreme. The almost sculptural bell sleeves on Zooey Deutch's has a certain '70s party host vibe. The sleeves on Cate Blanchett's Mary Katrantzou's gown resembled hand fans. Gwyneth Paltrow's sheer Fendi frock provided a lot to take in, but the sleeves in and of themselves pretty much served as the garment's thesis statement. Olivia Colman, a winner for her work in The ...

Rihanna and Adam Selman Launch "Playful, Sweet and Sexy" Savage x Fenty Valentine's Day Collab

For her Savage x Fenty lingerie line, Rihanna has partnered with her close friend, the designer Adam Selman, on a collaborative project with its sights on Valentine's Day (though it is available now online). The lineup is officially known as the "Savage x Fenty Adam Selman Capsule Collection." It features Valentine’s Day-centric themes, with hearts (sometimes employed as harness accents), an ultra-saturated primary red hue, a number of bows, and the general sort of indulgent, fun sexiness associated with the Hallmark holiday. Pieces in their roster range from babydoll cover-ups (with standi...

Noah Mills Will Make You Sweat with New Athletic Line

NoahMills.jpegCourtesy of Tyler Ash for NM Athletics. Toronto-born model Noah Mills, who now calls Los Angeles home, recently completed an entire remodel of his 1950s-built Venice property. The location, unbeknownst to him, would lay the groundwork for his next venture: NM Athletics, a clothing line that launched in early December, 5 years after he purchased his 5,000 square foot lot. His brand, which is anchored in a range of athletics-friendly pieces that are meant for ‘pre, during, and post workout,' has an old-school feel. It's a far cry from the technical brands populating gyms of late...

The Best Fashion Memes of 2019: From Baby Yoda's Stunning Gown to Meta-Couture

'Fashion moments' have become fashion memes. In 2019, there was plenty of wholesome sartorial meme content to be had, from over-the-top runway walks to larger-than-life red carpet gowns to, unexpectedly, a tiny CGI Star Wars character in a voluminous, Rick Owens-esque robe. Viktor & Rolf's couture dresses took things to another level, by making dresses out of preexisting memes, that then became memes themselves. The Met Gala did its thing, amplified by the power of camp. Céline Dion appreciated a frock with a deep, worshipful earnestness. Naomi Campbell exuded a level of serene fabulousness...

Model and Activist Mama Cax Has Died

Mama Cax has died at 30-years-old, a statement from her personal Instagram account has confirmed. “It is with deep regret and immense sadness that we announce the passing of Casmy Brutus (Mama Cax). Mama Cax spent the past week in the hospital, and unfortunately, on Monday, December 16, 2019, she left this world," the statement read. "To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life's several challenges head on and successfully. It is with that same grit (fervor) that she fought her last days on earth." Cax was a mode...

Céline Dion's Flaming Shoes are Truly Something Else

Céline Dion has a really fabulous new pair of shoes, and they look like flaming chickens. Dion took to Instagram to show off her special new style: heels that seem to be wrapped in strips of red, orange, and yellow crepe paper. A phoenix is proudly aflame on the heel of the right shoe, wings aloft. She posed in a red sequined dress with her knees elegantly bent before her Christmas tree, back twisted in a way that would do America’s Next Top Model judges proud. “Is your Christmas tree decorated yet?” she captioned the photo. “Team Celine.”\ As the New York Post reports, the shoes were made ...

Capucci Roma Captures The Spirit of The Eternal City, Mixing the "Raw" and the "Precious"

The Capucci Roma designers Luisa Orsini and Antonine Peduzzi are the first to admit that Roberto Capucci—the avant-garde couturier whose house they took creative control of earlier this year—was not for everyone. Capucci's legacy is one that is both classic and experimental, and, throughout, laced with humor. The Roman designer shocked the establishment with his radical approach to couture in the early 1950s (aged just 21), when he began introducing origami-inspired, fantastically sculptural gowns to the Italian, European, and soon, overseas markets. By the 1960s, Capucci had an atelier aro...

Christian Louboutin Brings Collaboration with Bhutanese Student Artisans to New York City

Christian Louboutin—the accessories virtuoso whose signature scarlet soles have become world famous, whether seen as vermillion flashes while walking down Rodeo Drive or worshipped as objects of aspirational acquisition in Cardi B songs—has, in his own way, written a sort of love letter to the Kingdom of Bhutan. He first traveled there in 2012. The instantness of his attraction struck deeper than the appeal of the region's abundant color and vertiginous landscapes. “People often think that tradition is a little outdated,” the designer tells W. “Yet Bhutanese traditions do not hinder the mod...

We Need to Talk About Harry Styles's Pearl Necklace

In the first century B.C., Julius Caesar decreed that pearls could only be worn by members of the ruling class. Countless have defied him in the 2,000-plus years since, but only now has one emerged that might not have Caesar rolling over in his grave: Harry Styles, the Pop royal who has singlehandedly resurrected the accessory—and put everyone else who's worn it to shame—over the course of the press tour for his new album, Fine Line. While Styles has only been spotted wearing the necklace consistently for the past two weeks, the origins of his relationship to pearls appear stretch back to M...

Bottega Veneta Shoes Look Just Like Instant Ramen

Bottega Veneta shoes are inescapable–the square-toed mules were a fashion week staple, the Lido sandal a must for every street style slideshow throughout fashion month in September. According to the Lyst Index, as of October, the quilted shoe was the most sought-after women’s fashion product in the world, with more than 27,000 people searching for the style online each month. Creative director Daniel Lee was ahead of the square toe curve, and created a bestselling, ‘90s inspired phenomenon. But for Bottega Veneta’s 2020 pre-fall collection, Lee looked to a different ‘90s-style source: ramen...

Can Kanye West Turn a Small Wyoming Town Into His Business Hub?

Another day, another fashion update from Kanye West. For years, West operated Yeezy out of its Calabasas headquarters, but as he spends increasing amounts of time in Wyoming—where he records music and films videos, occasionally hosts Sunday Service, and owns a $14 million ranch with Kim Kardashian—the mogul has apparently considered bringing his business up north a little more permanently. According to reports from WWD, West is in the process of building an Adidas/Yeezy Sample Lab in a small Wyoming town called Cody. The proposal for the site includes converting a warehouse that spans 11,30...

How Kendall Jenner Became the Patron Saint of Alternative Literature

During Art Basel earlier this month, TMZ and the Daily Mail published photos of Kendall Jenner on a yacht off the coast of Miami Beach. While a crowd of men in rumpled graphic T-shirts huddled in the shade behind her, Jenner lounged in a shaft of tropical winter sunlight, impeccably styled in a rust colored bikini and an open green shirt, her sharply parted hair tied in a ponytail at the nape of her neck. She was reading a turquoise post-it dotted copy of Tonight I’m Someone Else, an essay collection by the Brooklyn-based writer and Bennington College professor Chelsea Hodson. In some photo...

For Jazzelle, aka @uglyworldwide, a "Villainous Eyebrow" Is Essential

Back when she was growing up in Detroit, the model Jazzelle Zanaughtti—perhaps better known as @uglyworldwide—dreamed of becoming a stunt driver. Instead, she became the fashion industry's resident Tank Girl, beloved by brands ranging from Fenty to Nike for her blonde buzzcut and her eyebrows, which she regularly shaves. ("Every other day with a men's razor," she told W backstage at fashion week in 2016, moments before making her runway debut. "Men's razors are better and cheaper. It's all a scam!") Lately, her successes have allowed Jazzelle more freedom to do her own thing—like getting to...

Off-White x da Vinci: A New Collaboration Drops in Paris

Off-White is back with another curious collab. The Musée du Louvre, Paris’s (and arguably the world’s) most famous museum, is currently holding a broad exhibition dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. The artist, inventor, and genius died just over 500 years ago, on May 2, 1519. The Louvre show—which opened on October 24, 2019 and will run until February 24, 2020—took approximately 10 years to produce. It features over 160 works, including the 5 da Vinci paintings and 22 da Vinci drawings the museum holds in its permanent collection. Other pieces are on loan from establishments in the United Stat...

Timothée Chalamet Has a New Take on the Tiny Bag Trend

Timothée Chalamet attended the Paris premiere of Little Women–it bears the French title Les Filles du Docteur March, which feels like a misinterpretation of the film’s content, but alas–clad in a slouchy magenta suit by Stella McCartney. Chalamet wore the shirt untucked in his usual cool, louche manner, and paired the outfit with black leather Chelsea boots. And while the suit was a winner, another accessory stole the show. Tiny bags have been an inescapable trend all year–Simone Porte Jacquemus, the person most directly responsible for the onslaught of tiny accessories, created memeable te...

The Mandalorian is Proof That Helmets Have Always Been Sexy

The Mandalorian in The Mandalorian is hot. BuzzFeed recently ran an article saying that “people are thirsting” for the recently introduced Star Wars franchise character, who is the central figure and namesake of Disney+’s first hit show (the series is five out of eight episodes in, and airs on Fridays). A site called Pedestrian.tv ran the headline: “Is It Okay To Want To Fuck The Mandalorian Even Though He Wears A Mask 24/7.” The Mandalorian. Photo courtesy of Disney. And this is the provocative hook: we know that the Mandalorian is played by Pedro Pascal, who many likely do consider to be ...

Noen Eubanks, TikTok Teen, is the New Face of Celine

74-year-old French fashion brand Celine has picked 18-year-old Noen Eubanks, a star on the three-year-old social video platform TikTok, as it's newest face. The easy joke to make here might be "and now you feel old," but maybe it just proves that time is a flat circle. Celine posted the latest campaign on its Instagram earlier today, identifying Eubanks as a "teen idol" rather than a "TikTok" star (though, we suppose TikTok stars are technically today's teen idols). The brand's creative, artistic and image director Hedi Slimane photographed Eubanks, pictured in a leather jacket and stripped...

Cardi B showed up at Queens Criminal Court on Tuesday in an unbelievably over-the-top look fit for, well, a queen. The rapper arrived at her hearing in a dramatic black feathered coat with a ten-foot-long train by Adrienne Landau, called the “Queen’s coat.” Cheeky. Cardi paired her Elton John-esque outerwear with an equally outré wide-brimmed feathered hat, sleek black pants, a white button-down with a tie, and sky-high Louboutins. She looked like a Disney villainess. The woman really knows how to create a moment—an entourage even came along just to help her carry the coat around. She took ...

Moschino's New York Show is Jeremy Scott's Love Letter to Gotham

“I’m screaming and screaming it louder / I got the, I got the power." That was the soundtrack refrain oft repeated by bounce legend Big Freedia at last night’s combined Moschino Pre-Fall 2020 womenswear and Fall 2020 menswear show. It blared through (inoperative) subway cars—with far more clarity and roundness than what one normally hears on the underground—at Brooklyn’s New York Transit Museum. The event marked the Milan-based label’s first catwalk in Gotham, bar its ultra-successful collaboration with H&M, for which a runway presentation was held in 2018.

Street Style in Miami: From Pastels to Lots of Dior

Street style was on point in South Florida this past week. Miami and Miami Beach’s annual edition of Art Basel—and the hundreds of combined peripheral fairs, brand activations, parties, panels and more—wraps up today (its next stop? Hong Kong, in March, 2020). With the art, fashion and social sets alighting in the Magic City, so too came a wave of tropical-chic and eclectic ensembles (often anchored in Art Deco-decadent pastels, airy fabrications and, given one of the week’s marquee events, lots of Dior). From warm weather-ready sheer dresses to leopard print galore to funkier watermelon ba...
