Jill Lincoln, a Los Angeles-based stylist, has been dressing celebrities for public appearances, special occasions, and everyday life for a decade.
On September 15, Marc Jacobs closed out New York Fashion Week with a grand finale of a show. A troupe of models marched the runway in pastel satin hotpants, metallic bouffant sleeves, and vertiginous Ziggy Stardust platforms.
The models who stood around the edges of a sun-filled gallery in downtown Manhattan on Sunday (Sept. 11), were not the typical young, porcelain-skinned sort who can effortlessly pull off fuchsia lipstick. Rather, visitors to J.Crew’s presentation at New York Fashion Week met a diverse cast of characters, who varied in their ages, sizes, and skin-tones.
I often wonder why I bother to dress thoughtfully for work at all, when I cover every outfit with the same shapeless sweater from my desk drawer.
Here in New York City, some municipal workers are heralded as heroes. Tourists proudly declare their support of the city’s firemen and police officers, clamoring for t-shirts and hats emblazoned with their logos. The former are celebrated in sexy calendars, and the latter are known as “New York’s Finest.”
As Brazil’s most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression rumbles on, legislators are considering a new source for tax revenues: gambling.
Most of us have experienced the “Sunday Scaries”—the anxiety that creeps in at the end of a glorious weekend, as we anticipate returning to work. Imagine the feeling that might overtake you after a solid seven days outside of normal society, in a desert world where commerce and advertising were nonexistent (Instagrams aside), clothes were optional, and radical self-expression and acceptance of others were the law of the land.
The MTV Video Music Awards will take place on Sunday, Aug. 28, at Madison Square Garden at 9 pm EST.
OK, here’s what we know:
It is the stuff of nightmares. According to The Wall Street Journal, US middle distance runner Emma Coburn was ready to compete in the Olympic final of the women’s steeplechase on Monday (Aug. 16)—the race she’s been preparing her entire career for—when she came to a horrific realization: She didn’t have a hair tie.
Any curious food lover who has spent time in Rio de Janeiro likely returned home with a craving for açai: an Amazon fruit most commonly enjoyed as a smooth, deep indigo frozen beverage with an velveteen sheen. Now it seems Olympic athletes will too. US women’s soccer forward Alex Morgan, diver David Boudia, and Australian BMX cyclist Caroline Buchanan have all broadcast their love of the Brazilian delicacy, made from açai.
On a recent Monday morning, I found myself taking deep breaths in my Manhattan office’s supply closet. It was a sad change of scenery from the Oregon coast, where I’d spent the previous week cruising two-lane highways, hiking beneath towering spruces, and spotting whale spouts in the sprawling Pacific. No matter how much we appreciate our home and workplace, returning from vacation can be brutal—like a case of the Sunday Scaries on steroids.
Recently, my boyfriend and I completed a one-week road trip from the California Redwoods to Portland, Oregon. When I returned to work and everyone asked how my trip was, rather than responding with the typical “Too fast,” I responded that it was great.
In a few days, I’ll be taking off for a summer road trip—several days of highway driving, crossing state lines. I could tune the car’s stereo into satellite radio stations, audio books, or podcasts, spend days poring over the perfect playlist, or depend on the vast library and algorithmic genius of Spotify to make one for me. All of the aforementioned forms have a place in the travel audio pantheon, and can help to pass the hours on the highway, but this summer, I can’t wait to surrender the soundtrack to another form of listening: the full album.
Tuesday night (July 26), Bill Clinton, the husband of presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to honor his wife’s historic achievement. Bill’s stately-but-approachable appearance and middle-of-the-road fashion choices make him a terrific candidate for the supporting role of first spouse of the United States. (He was also the 42nd president of the United States.)
Since its opening in 1959, the Four Seasons restaurant in midtown Manhattan has served as an epicenter of a certain sort of New York power. “Spectacular, modern and audacious,” espoused The New York Times food critic, Craig Claiborne that year. “Both in décor and in menu.”
For some at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the chosen accessory for protection is an AR-15-style rifle, casually slung over the shoulder. For the Los Angeles-based artist and activist Tim Schwartz, it’s a discreet pouch made of matte silver ripstop fabric that houses his cell phone.
Wife, mother, skincare magnate, jeweler, and humanitarian Melania Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention Monday night (July 18) to support her husband, the presumptive Republican nominee for US president, Donald Trump.
How do we move forward after moments of trauma? It’s a question people around the world have unfortunately had lots of practice answering in recent days, weeks, and months.
Before Sunday, I had never heard of Pokémon Go, the cellphone-based augmented reality game that has swept the nation—and the world—and sent Nintendo’s stock skyrocketing. I’ve never played a game on my cell phone. I didn’t catch Pokémon the first time around. Our Nintendo gathered dust when I was a kid.
Monday (July 11), Burberry announced that Christopher Bailey, who has served as both CEO and chief creative officer of the brand since 2014, will be replaced as CEO. Marco Gobbetti, currently CEO of LVMH’s Céline, will take over the role at Burberry in 2017. Bailey will stay on as chief creative officer and president.
A strange event has emerged from Sunday’s Euro final: it was plagued by moths. The winged creatures coated the stadium’s stands and equipment, and harassed players from France and Portugal, without discrimination.
France and Portugal face off today in the final game of the 2016 UEFA Euro Championship tournament at 8pm BST (3pm EST). France, with the home-field advantage at the Stade de France outside Paris, is the favorite to win, with Portugal looking to bring home the country’s first European soccer title. Portugal hasn’t defeated France since 1975, though Cristiano Ronaldo is capable of leading it to a victory, as his game-winning header in Portugal’s semifinal victory over Wales shows. France’s Antoine Griezmann is the leading scorer in the tournament, which takes place every four years.
Last night in Baton Rouge, hundreds of demonstrators walked along Airline Highway, in the wake of the shooting of Alton Sterling by police on Tuesday (July 5).
