The Virtue of Wearing Out Your Favorite things

Growing up in New England, I was raised in a family that, stereotypically, cherished thriftiness and a well-worn aesthetic. In a household of five boys, it was both economical and a practical imperative. That top image is a little before I showed up, but rest assured that I wore pretty much all of that gear at one point or another. Handing down blue blazers, jeans and winter jackets, reusing sports gear, and viewing Christmas as the wonderful time of year when new socks and boxer shorts showed up was the rhythm of our sartorial life. To be sure, we also…

Shakira toted her essentials in a sparkling round silver handbag and shielded her eyes with cat-eye sunglasses embellished with jewels.…

Jane Birkin’s enduring style legacy

Jane Birkin, who died Sunday aged 76, will be remembered for many things: Her collaboration with long-time partner Serge Gainsbourg, her vocals on his hit “Je T’aime… Moi Non Plus” and her acting on both stage and screen, among much else. It is in fashion, however, that her legacy may endure the longest. The London-born muse who became a star in France, her adopted homeland, has long been considered a style icon. This is thanks, in no small part, to the famous Hermès bag named after her. Birkin’s own Hermès Birkin bags were renowned for their well-worn appearance and chaotic…

Diane Kruger On British Style And Her Subversive Serpentine Party Look

“It definitely feels a little online for me,” says Diane Kruger of her look for the Serpentine Gallery’s annual summer party. “But, you know, if not now… then when?” The last star attended the event 16 years ago, and her sheer tutu and bustier and dominatrix-inflected thigh-high boots for the party on Tuesday night were certainly far removed from the floaty, Grecian-inspired white gown she chose in 2007. “I feel like maybe I like to have a little more fun and be a little more adventurous than back then,” Kruger says now. “I’m still drawn to similar silhouettes, but I…
