"It's a really special spot. When you start at the top and move down the gently sloped ramp, you almost feel like a marble tumbling down, looking at art as you roll by. The slight slant plays with your sense of perspective and grounding."

April O'Neil comes down out of City Hall as the ace reporter and then walks into the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station. That secret, that the Downtown Brooklyn station is subbing in for City Hall, is at the heart of an upcoming film series at BAM.

The New Museum Store has reopened and is now more than twice its previous size, featuring artist-collaboration pieces and unique products like bodega-themed charms and specialty chocolates.

Carter Shocket stated, 'They kind of felt like they happened and then they were over, like it wasn't a long-lasting kind of project. It was just a flash-in-the-pan kind of thing.'

Clare Vivier and Heather Taylor have perfected the art of hosting by dividing responsibilities, with Vivier focusing on wine and Taylor on flowers and dessert. Their friendship of 20 years has led to a seamless collaboration that enhances the dinner party experience.

In 1971, Manolo Blahnik created shoes for the designer Ossie Clark's catwalk show in London. Relatively new to shoemaking, the Spanish designer forgot to put steel pins in the heels of the shoes, which meant that models wobbled, unbalanced, down the catwalk.

It was literally the rise of the Phoenix. All these places that we knew and loved, they dissolved and died. Everybody had so much energy because we were mandated to stay in the house. When we made the announcement that we have a store, people were coming up, masking up, and they were buying shit.

According to the social media user who posted the photos, the group were filming for the upcoming season of Project Runway. Now, Entertainment Weekly has seemingly confirmed that the social media post was accurate, and that both drag stars will reportedly appear in the new season of the show.

"Nostalgia is my favorite feeling," said Madison Feely '26, who referenced childhood classics including "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Little Women" in her collection, "Homebody." She emphasized that her designs celebrate a well-lived childhood, honoring the authors and illustrators who allow her to relive it each time she opens their books.

From bold lug-sole footwear to sleek low-profile sneakers that blend comfort with cool, spring's shoe lineup will make any outfit diverse and exciting. Think minimalist ballet flats with edgy studs or breathable mesh, backless loafers that serve as the ultimate transitional wear, and the resurgence of animal print beyond the iconic leopard.

From dawn to dusk Muslims fast from food and distraction, with sunset being an energy-shifting moment. Programming this pause into one of the fashion industry's most tightly scheduled weeks was deliberate. As soon as I found out that fashion week would fall [now], I had to incorporate it. This collection was built around the themes of Ramadan.

CFGNY is having a big spring. The self-proclaimed 'vaguely Asian' art and fashion collective is in a group exhibition about the production and representation of Asian fashion at Pioneer Works, transforming the third floor into a cardboard-lined shipping container filled with studio portraits shot in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a growing fashion hub.

What if I took my design lens and built out my essentials capsule for the Everlane customer? I felt like that would be a really amazing opportunity for me to introduce myself as a designer to an audience outside of EB Denim.

That past is his - it is the 20th anniversary of his label, and accordingly he decided to embrace, engage, even embed himself in his own history. Which, in and of itself, is a history of histories - Moralıoğlu's office is peppered with random 1930s portraits (the ones his husband, the architect Philip Joseph, won't let him keep in their Bloomsbury home) and old, time-warped issues of Vogue, as well as overflows of books on everything from Merce Cunningham to Alfred Hitchcock.

There wasn't kidswear in this show, but for Vevers his other two, slightly older children played a pivotal role. The wonderment of his five-year-old kids watching The Wizard of Oz for the first time was a trigger for this show - most evident in outfits switching from sepia-dulled monochrome to chromatic brights. Example? Beaten-up black denim shorts, an inky cotton shirt and grey tie, followed by its mirror opposite in - fittingly - red, white and blue jeans.

The end of the show did not mark the end of the trip. Back at the Le Grand Bellevue the group divided between fireside hot chocolates and the hotel's spa. The hotel's Le Grand Spa is over 3,000 square metres and has eight different types of saunas, several ice showers, foot baths and an outdoor bubble pool (named thus as it's bigger than your standard jacuzzi).

Stylist and writer Orla Dempsey tried on some ties for a week, following a big fashion trend for 2026 and following in the footsteps of some famous faces

Travelling for art can be incredibly virtuous and culturally rewarding, like collecting souvenirs for your eyes (and from the post card rail in the gift shop). Remembering to research what is on before I book flights is a lesson I learnt all too well after I missed the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibition in 2016 by one day. As a fashion obsessed 20 something, I did not take this well and have since improved my itinerary planning and exhibition calendar checking.

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

This collection captivated audiences with its rich narrative, reflecting the dichotomy of overwhelming love intertwined with frustration and inner turmoil. Kucharska's latest offering approaches the multifaceted journey of motherhood, encapsulating a complex emotional landscape that balances strength and vulnerability. The pressure to endure coexists with a fierce longing for protection and safety, creating a powerful tension that resonates across her designs.

Last week, Berlin-based sustainable customisation brand L.A.M.E.official made a splash at Berlin Fashion Week with the unveiling of their latest collection. As part of the launch of their online shop, the show captivated audiences by celebrating collaboration, movement, and self-expression. Featuring dynamic dance performances and individually styled looks co-created with each model, the event showcased the brand's commitment to inclusivity and creativity.

Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
