This week, Deadspin and Jezebel swap beats to celebrate America’s most dangerous and controversial pastimes: football and fashion, two sports that have far more in common than you think.

Porn star Ron Jeremy is accused of sexual assault by several women—but that didn’t stop him from proudly strutting down a New York Fashion Week runway wearing a purple velvet suit and hairy chest. Jeremy, famously nicknamed The Hedgehog, took his runway spin during Nina Athanasiou’s show over the weekend, according to …

Here’s a fun Friday story: Fern Mallis, the fashion industry icon who founded New York Fashion Week in 1993 (it was called 7th on Sixth back then), is as flummoxed by the new wave of models as people who don’t have front row seats to every runway in town. During an event earlier this week, Mallis expressed her…

Fashion, they tell us, is fantasy. My fantasy, personally, does not involve two small children stacked on top of one another in a sassy effort to pass as a single adult, but who am I to tell Marc Jacobs what to do with his time?

The headline for Project Runway OG Christian Siriano’s tenth NYFW show is that he got Danielle Brooks, Selma Blair, and Ashley Graham to walk, which is pretty fucking great. Plus he orchestrated a situation in which attendees Laverne Cox, Whoopi Goldberg, Meg Ryan, Cardi B, Rihanna, and Molly Shannon all sat in a row,…

Industry standards expect models changing backstage at a fashion show to just to take off their clothes, in front of complete strangers, and get out on the runway as quickly as possible. But as the fashion industry begins to look at its accepted practices with a more critical eye in light of #MeToo, the CFDA and the…

Georgina Chapman’s fashion brand Marchesa will not present a show at New York Fashion Week as originally planned.

According to The Fashion Spot’s annual diversity report, this past New York fashion week was reportedly the most diverse season in recent history. In the Spring 2018 New York shows 63.1% of castings were white and 36.9% were nonwhite. And for the first time in New York fashion week history every runway included at…

I meet Dr. Amir Marashi in a stark white lobby where women in lingerie and shortened lab coats are handing out half full glasses of rosé champagne. Making probing, friendly eye contact, he tells me, “My job allows me to say the word ‘vagina’ whenever I want and no one can say it’s weird.” “Same,” I reply and we both…

As New York City becomes increasingly gentrified, one symbolic point of the shift is the way newcomers seem to bristle at the street sounds—cars honking and bumping bass-y music, people yelling and fighting, jackhammers, etc.—to the point of making noise complaints so egregious and xenophobic they almost become urban…

Thom Browne is cool and fun, in fact, so cool and fun that it remains a bit shocking that he still has his runway shows in New York. Thom Browne, don’t ever leave! For Fall 2017, he created a little Winter Wonderland for us all, as filtered through a broken mirror into the Upside Down.

Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 commenced at New York Fashion Week today and in keeping with his high-priced tradition, it looks like rugged basics in muted tones meant to evoke eternity. Also, though: denim, a first for Yeezy, shown like workwear for a truly utilitarian vibe.

We’ve seen a lot of stabs at politics so far this fashion week in New York, but they’ve mostly felt gestural, reliant upon slogans rather than follow-through. But none has seemed so resonant or relevant as Mara Hoffman’s latest, which opened with four beloved organizers of the Women’s March on Washington—Linda…

Chromat, the continually innovative New York fashion label that’s celebrated model diversity since long before The Wokening, knows exactly what women want right now. And what we want is to float down a calm lazy river, maybe somewhere in the Caribbean, the phuq away from the bullshit.

Kendall & Kylie’s Fall 2017 line was, apparently, inspired by classic teen films like Empire Records and House Party, but this look in particular that’s evoking ‘90s vapors straight from the Delia’s catalog, and/or any number of coastal raves that occurred ca. 1996-1998.

There still remain many delights in the world, and one of those delights is the person of Bill Nye dressed up in a semi-metallic star suit.

Lindsay Degen is one of New York’s most creative and interesting designers, using her namesake label Degen as an outlet for her vibrantly colored and sometimes wacky knits. In the past, she’s created rainbow fantasies and cartoony interpretations of body consciousness; in her Fall 2015 collection, she applied these…
