As cliché as it sounds, warm weather does feel like a breath of fresh air. After months of darkness, the moment the sun shines well into the evening, it’s all about outfit planning for balmy nights spent sitting outside at dinner with a drink and friends.

Kantamanto Market, a secondhand exchange in Accra, Ghana, has piles of clothing taller than the people walking through it. When the wind picks up, T-shirts whirl around the seemingly endless rows of clothes, most of which have been discarded and donated from Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Camila Mendes isn’t one to shy away from her true identity. The Brazilian-American actress, best known for her breakout role in Riverdale and, most recently, as the fallen Queen Bee in Netflix’s Do Revenge, knows the value of self-acceptance, whether it’s onscreen, IRL, or “In My Tabby,” her new campaign for Coach, debuting exclusively on

Two days after the Oscars, Law Roach used his platform to make a big—and totally unexpected—announcement: he’s retiring. In a candid and cryptic Instagram post, the 44-year-old celebrity stylist wrote, “My cup is empty…the politics, the lies, and false narratives finally got me! You win…I’m out.” People were shocked, airing their protestations and expressing mass

Peek into my closet and you’ll find a sea of black skirts that serve as centerpieces of my outfits. Before you write it off as boring or uninspired, let me explain: These selects are far from basic and simple. Usually featuring ruffles, pleats, or details like asymmetrical hems, they’re distinctive and attention-grabbing. Often they become

Chances are, Kim Jones made your favorite sneakers—or at least, they would be your favorite, if they hadn’t sold out in five seconds. He’s the artistic director at Dior Men and the brains behind the “Air Dior” Nikes that literally broke the brand’s website, plus collabs with Converse, those coveted skate slip-ons at Louis Vuitton,

“Versace is always the dream,” says Dua Lipa. She is sitting on the roof of a parking garage in Los Angeles, surrounded by a thrumming crowd of fashion editors bleary from the Paris runways, stylists taking a break from their A-list clients for the upcoming Oscars, and K-Pop princes in popsicle-colored suits. Elton John zips

Hailey Bieber presumably has access to every piece of designer clothing she could possibly want. Yet when given the opportunity to flex her design skills, she skipped the sequins and ball gowns and instead dreamed up double-breasted overcoats, long-sleeve tees, and pleated trousers. Her capsule collection with Wardrobe.NYC came about because even she felt like

Anne Hathaway is back at it again, proving she’s red carpet (in addition to Genovian, of course) royalty. At Versace’s Fall/Winter 2023 show in Los Angeles, the actress delivered a killer all-black ensemble. The outfit: a Versace crocodile-effect minidress, sheer tights, sky-high platform boots and sunglasses, and sparkling Bulgari jewelry. The dominatrix-style set would do

One of the main reasons I became a fashion editor was my fascination with personal style: clothes as a medium for self-expression.
