When looking to the recent runways for inspiration, not every spring fashion trend is easy to steal. Alaïa’s barely-there bra tops may be hard to wear to the office, for example. And Jonathan Anderson’s hoop dresses might take up one too many seats on your morning subway commute. But, color is quick to incorporate. Fashion…
As a millennial adult who was once a bratty teenager, I have not-so-fond memories of being a heinous little bitch to my long-suffering mother in a variety of now-closed retailers, from Party City to Bed Bath and Beyond. That said, I never thought Forever 21—that dogged bastion of brightly colored, somewhat shoddily constructed, and definitely…
Fashion has a particular way of romancing the past—often with a three-decade rewind, mining the design codes that shaped an earlier generation. That underpins the ongoing fascination with the 1990s, as seen across the fall 2025 runways. There were minimalist skirt suits at Calvin Klein, courtesy of its new creative director, Veronica Leoni; broad-shouldered silhouettes…

At an afterparty later that night,…
After a long month of nonstop shows in four different cities, the fall 2025 fashion season is finally over. We’re breathing a sigh of relief for our resident photographer Phil Oh, who no longer has to stand outside in unpredictable weather, but we’re also thinking about the street stylers who made an impact on us…
The fall 2025 collections may have come to a close last night in Paris, but the fashion games are only just getting started. The season kicked off with Christopher John Rogers’s return to the runway at New York Fashion Week, with other highlights including Rachel Scott’s standout presentation for Diotima and the GQ and Bode…
I walked into the Washington Post building for the first time in the summer of 1981. Past the red linotype machine that marked the entrance to the Post’s Fifteenth Street headquarters for so many years and up to the fifth-floor newsroom, a cavernous space that looked just as it’s depicted in “All the President’s Men.”…
Bonjour, mes amis—and au revoir to the latest edition of Paris Fashion Week, which capped off its fall 2025 presentations today. It’s always a bit of a toss up as to which famous fellas will attend the womenswear shows, especially with this round coming hot on the heels of an especially fashion-filled awards season, which…
Among the most beautiful places in the world, you’ll find black-sand beaches and blue ice caves, granite peaks and glacial ice, the City of Light and a city carved in stone. They include both Mother Nature’s handiwork as well as beauty crafted by human hands. And though this list is an ode to earth’s biggest…
