This shot is so striking — her profile is beautiful, and her earrings are fantastic. I wish I could see the rest of this outfit. In my imagination, it’s a glorious caftan.  If you can’t see if a caftan is a caftan or not, does that place all of us in some kind of Schrodinger’s

Although our first glimpse at a Jill Biden fashion statement was quite literal — she wore a pair of Stuart Weitzman “Vote” boots while leaving the polls — her second was less obvious, but just as important. Dr. Biden showed up to the first 2020 presidential debate between Donald Trump and her husband, Democratic presidential

To celebrate the countless hours of handcrafted excellence of Zuhair Murad’s Paris and Beirut couture ateliers, the Lebanese couturier is the subject of a new book featured in the 2020-2021 catalogue of luxury publisher Assouline. Written by journalist and fashion critic Alexander Fury, with a foreword by Babeth Djian, editorial director and founder of Numéro

What is Olivier Rousteing — one of fashion’s youngest, most social media-savvy creative directors — doing trawling through Balmain’s archives, and scouring flea markets, too? He’s not only marking the French house’s 75th anniversary — he’s searching for more DNA, though he’s taken Pierre Balmain’s audaciousness and run with that idea for a decade already.

Zendaya can pull off nearly anything, and it’s to her credit that this truly enormous lid has not slammed down on her. But it has for sure swollen beyond the point of “dramatic” and into “farcical,” to the point where I cannot look at her and NOT think of this scene from Spaceballs. Or, almost

If you find yourself wary about shopping right now — simply because you’re not sure when you’ll start really seeing people again (never mind hugging them) — you’re not alone. But dressing for yourself is more than OK; in fact, we highly encourage it. With a handful of fashion trends bubbling up on Instagram, there’s

This year has offered a rare opportunity for many artists to slow down, reflect on what they value most, and delve deeper into their creative process. “Coming up for air,” (followed by a turtle emoji) is how rising star, Oyinda, describes the current state of her creativity in an Instagram bio. But for the London-bred,

This is a royal wedding I was totally unfamiliar with, and I appreciate the person who suggested we rewind to this event, because it’s very interesting and also educational. Picture it: The year is 1963. The place is Sikkim, which is currently one of India’s states but which was once a little more complicated. Per

Welcome to Outfit Anatomy, a series of comprehensive style analyses that aim to break down what we wear by answering questions like: How much did that cost? Where did you find that? Why did you buy it in the first place? Up this week is Micaéla Verrelien, creative director, model, content creator, and Repeller contributor.

Missoma pulled out all the stops for its 2020 festive offering. The premier demi-fine jewelry brand teamed up with top-notch design experts to create a jewelry Advent calendar — and Christmas crackers — that’s worthy of being a festive center piece all on its own. Missoma’s Advent calendar features 12 pull-out compartments that reveal one

Marie-Christine Statz felt it was time to reveal a softer, more vulnerable side to Gauchere. To wit: She staged her socially distanced show at the Espace Commines as a “decompression ceremony” scented with burning palo santo and to the sound of shamanic drumming by “energy ceremonialist” John James. Rituals aside, her tailored uniform took on

This is another reader request, and friends — I live to serve. I also hope that by putting this intel out into the universe, I am somehow magicking some rain to California, where we desperately need it and have NONE en route. So, in researching this, it came to my attention that there are a

We first published this story back in the Spring, and I remember that when it was cooking, I asked Harling to send me multiple selfies of her so that I could promote the story on Instagram. When she texted them to me, I was aghast—simply agog—at the effect of her skin. It looked like the

Meghan Markle attended Fortune‘s Most Powerful Women Summit virtually, stationed at her home in Santa Barbara, CA — the same spot from which she tuned into America’s Got Talent the week before. Meghan proves she’s still got a handle on dressing to work from home, choosing to debut a new blue-and-white-striped, casual button-down from With

I have a few beauty secrets up my sleeve, but the main one is my use of primers, a product that has the ability to divide so many of us makeup wearers. There’s a camp of people who believe they’re just moisturisers with a new name and others who absolutely swear by them.  I’m one of

When Kerby Jean-Raymond joined forces with Reebok in 2017, the Pyer Moss designer had one job: to create a sneaker and a few clothing items to support the shoe’s debut. That inaugural collection blossomed into an ongoing partnership between the two brands that spawned several collections and sneakers. After making an indelible mark on the

A few months ago, the Repeller team started putting together a series of stories about motherhood and parenting during the pandemic. The first piece featured Abbi, who detailed her experience of being pregnant for the first time during strict social distancing regulations in Los Angeles. Today’s story is about a more specific, but no less

TikTok is one of the most creative platforms right now, with a constant flow of videos that show you how to do everything from cooking air fryer bagels, to the easiest way to add volume to your hair, and the best home organization tips. You really do get a mix of everything. Scrolling through the

Every year, Net-a-Porter announces the brands that it’s backing for global success that season, and considering that it’s regarded by fashion editors as an authority on fashion’s up-and-comers, this is something we sit up and pay attention to. The Vanguard global mentorship program might be a new initiative, but it’s a brilliant a way to support young designers, and of course, a chance for

The 2020 presidential election is getting an unexpected new player: a beauty brand. Today, Biden Beauty is launching online with the aim of leveraging the vast beauty community to encourage voters to support former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. The beauty brand is launching with one product, the Biden Beat,

Amazon’s The Drop is back with another collection for September! The Drop is always a limited-time collection that’s only shoppable for 30 hours. This week, the pieces were designed by Madrid-based influencer Belén Canalejo of Balamoda. You now have just 27 hours left to grab the undeniably cool collection — think silky fabrics and pretty

While every member of the Who What Wear team possesses their own distinctive sense of style, there are a few fashion items that transcend our differing tastes, including jumpers. A definitive cold-weather Brit staple, the humble jumper has been unwavering in its appeal over the decades, variously shrinking down and bulking up as trending silhouettes come
