But one thing

Peering through the thick bars cutting a horizontal strata in the window, I watch the streams of fog soften the edges of the housing unit’s silhouettes lined up outside.

Colloquially known as the flap bag, the design first came on the scene in the ‘80s, when Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the house’s signature 2.55 (which was

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I have long maintained that the worst thing you can do to me is send me an email.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama gave People an in-depth interview about her life quarantining in this week’s issue—and how having her college-age daughters back in her house changed their relationship over the last year.

One year into the pandemic, its effects are threatening to undo decades of investment in girls’ and women’s access to education, economic opportunity, and safety. The facts are dire: The crisis has led to an increase in domestic violence; the gender poverty gap will likely worsen, as more women than men have lost work during

You don’t come to Versace to wear brown. At least, that’s what its history of bold colors, J.Lo jungle prints, and ’90s black-and-gold power dressing have taught us.

At 33, it feels like I’ve known non-monogamy was right for me forever. But as someone who grew up surrounded by monogamy—in my family, in my friendships, in my culture, in my media consumption—I know that, at some point, I must have learned this about myself.
