Here, a dilemma: Rihanna is about as interesting a fashion icon as currently exists. Included in that is her willingness to set trends via daring sensibilities and the ability to make just about anything look great. But does that involve you, as #Navy and a consumer, trying out high-heeled flip-flops?
Monday in Paris, Rihanna’s Fenty x Puma line paraded under the moniker “F.U.”—Fenty University—and its attitude was purely that: rugby separates in ragamuffin cuts that were meant to recall the grunge-era kids who got sent to the “alternative” high school for being teen pregnant or smoking too much weed. (Maybe that…
After all the fêting that was unleashed at Monday night’s Met Gala, clearly the only thing to do was to fête some more. Afterparties sprang up all across the city, in locales as varied as The Mark—the posh hotel across from the Met, where Solange is lamping above—and semi-random clubs like Up&Down, which is right in…
Depending on who you ask at what time of day, the new Self magazine is either for a "more mature readership" or has gone through a major revamp to specifically focus more on fashion or is still for millennial readers. Alternatively, perhaps it sits in the middle of a venn diagram of all three of those groups, as most…
The lineup for this year's fancy-pants Pirelli calendar has been revealed. And for the first time, a plus-size model made the cut.
Are models slowly returning to the covers of ladymags? Joan Smalls was on the January cover of Elle; now Lara Stone graces the April cover of Bazaar. Back in September, People editor Larry Hackett said: "The era of the A-List movie star is over." So does the future of fashion mags look like the (model-driven) past?
Milan Fashion week continues, and today the fall 2014 collection for Fendi — designed by Karl Lagerfeld — was presented. Winter is coming, and it is full of sheer gowns, orchid brooches and lots and lots of fur.
Because watching models cook is very in right now*, Jourdan Dunn has her own cooking show on YouTube called Well Dunn**. For the premiere of Season 3 of the show, Dunn and fellow models Joan Smalls and Chanel Iman made vegan Thai chili and talked about Beyoncé while they did it.
Beyoncé has traveled a complicated road toward the surprise release of her self-titled fifth album filled, but at the end of that road is a work of art filled with progressive, forward-thinking female ideals.
Last night at the Council of Fashion Designers of America, designers and celebrities hit the red carpet in ensembles both incredibly fashionable and incredibly ugly.
"Heels are great for performing because they immediately correct your posture for singing, so you have your power stance down," says Laura Jane Grace, the lead singer of punk band Against Me. Grace talks extensively about fashion, performance, and gender with model Joan Smalls in the new episode of MTV's House of Style…
Last night, the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held in New York, and it was a delightfully absurd smorgasbord of flesh, wings, and lingerie. One of the most shocking get-ups? Twenty-year-old Karlie Kloss in "Native" garb.
Two of these photos show a 19-year-old Claudia Schiffer posing for Ellen von Unwerth for her first Guess campaign. The other shows a 41-year-old Claudia Schiffer posing for Ellen von Unwerth for her latest Guess campaign. Do you think she bathes in asses' milk, or just the blood of imported, fair-trade virgins?

Puerto Rican model Joan Smalls made the cover of Vogue Italia, which she called evidence that "dreams do come true" on Twitter. Smalls was the top black model at New York fashion week this season, and is the current face of Chanel. The cover editorial, which the magazine has been hyping with animated GIFs, looks like…
For the first time since its famous all-black issue of July, 2008, Italian Vogue has printed a magnificent 17-page editorial, featuring twelve black models. The story is definitely reaching for a languid, finger-curled, Harlem Renaissance feeling. Let's explore.
Joan Smalls looks fantastic in this Roberto Cavalli campaign. Shame about the clothes.
Nilina Mason-Campbell ran around Paris to get a fresh look at couture. Not the runway-shot, brand-manicured take we always get. The street-skulking, exhilarating flash-and-grab honesty of the perennial non-ticket-holder! (It's not our fault we don't know any PRs in Paris.)
