This is so performative. If you wanted to make an ethical statement, it should have happened decades ago when fur farming and slaughter was at its peak. Instead, you waited when it was no longer an economic concern. Appeal from consumers have fallen and designers haven’t used exotic skins for years.

Truthfully, you could find these items thrifting (or perhaps in your own closet if you dig deep enough). Rather than buy new and feed a wasteful production cycle, take cues on styling and proportion

I like to find myself in the middle of nowhere just to take a few photos 😂

I don’t know if I like the Vanity Fair logo redesign 😅 In a time when it’s crucial to be authentic, this now feels very generic

Even if Trump tries to deny wrongdoing, the sheer fact that he was indeed in the Epstein files to this capacity and claimed he wasn’t… was surrounded by government officials that claimed he wasn’t… should be enough to indict him for perjury

Five collections in and Seán McGirr finally shows glimmers of true McQueen: military edge, bumpster revival, but still missing that Sarah Burton-level polish.
I weigh in with fashion editor Gabriella Onessimo on the latest show.

Unpopular Opinion: Alexander Skarsgård’s shoulders aren’t broad enough to truly pull this look off. It narrows in and makes him look smaller than he is

This summer I tried sneaking #sportswear into my office rotation—track jackets/pants, windbreakers, maybe even a gym short in the near future 👀—nobody batted an eye. Are we finally past the tyranny of business casual?

I previously criticized Pharrell Williams for designing suit shorts in his latest menswear collection—and I stand by that critique.
But in the case of the latest Tommy Hilfiger #menswear lookbook, it actually works. Maybe it’s because it feels more authentic.

Buyers are already circling like hawks for Tom Ford by #HaiderAckermann but for the rest of us, the Tom Ford accessories have begun their infiltration. Chief among them: the Bronson sunglasses.
The catch? They’re $235. Instead, I found the perfect $15 dupe.

It’s certainly one thing to push the envelope of creativity in order to sell a product. But Louis Vuitton Men’s isn’t selling a fantasy here. So I have to wonder who the LV buyer is feeding into this styling? Am I crazy for thinking this misses the mark?

Although Portugal makes more conscious footwear, APICCAPS communications director Paulo Gonçalves reminds us that without conscious production, there is no #sustainability

The footwear association APICCAPS is leading a revolution in how Europe makes, markets, and modernizes shoes. From luxury exports to green tech it’s not just about what Portugal produces—but how.

Last Wednesday, a panel struck down Trump’s global #tariffs as “contrary to law.” The case, titled V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump, ruled that the current orders exceed the powers granted to by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) ⬇️

The call took place last week, when Trump dialed in with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. For now, 50 percent #tariffs on the EU have been delayed until July 9 as both sides move quickly to reach a deal. Link for what’s on the table ⬇️

It looks like Trump’s plea to a divided GOP worked. His “big, beautiful bill” passed the House by the narrowest margins: 215–214. The bill now heads to the Senate awaiting a seething Democratic Party
