(In equestrian parlance, a blaze is the distinctive white marking that runs down a horse’s face.) With its sweeping curves, rich leather, and saddle-inspired stitching, the collection has all the hallmarks of traditional saddlery, interpreted through a decidedly modern lens.Of course, horses have long been part of Ralph Lauren’s design vocabulary (see: the iconic Polo Pony, the saddle-inspired Polo ID bag, and the Ricky, which…

“Spare Essentials,” by Michael Brenson, was originally published in the October 1995 issue of Vogue.For more of the best from Vogue’s archive, sign up for our Nostalgia newsletter here.Constantin Brancusi and Pablo Picasso both settled in Paris in 1904, became integral parts of the city’s artistic avant-garde, and both, of course, became world-renowned artists. But in virtually every other respect they were opposites. Picasso had a remarkable, if not unprecedented, ability to transform aggression and violence into sources of unrestrainable creative energy; Brancusi made sculpture that is restrained even when it takes flight.

Every year, Heidi Klum—the undisputed queen of Halloween—keeps spooky season fans guessing as to her next big costume reveal.

For 70 years now, The Village Voice has been synonymous with what’s happening in New York, whether through its coverage of the downtown arts scene or the writers it has engaged as contributors, from James Baldwin and E.E. Cummings to Tom Stoppard and Colson Whitehead.So it feels fitting that Harry Styles, a one-man cultural institution if ever there was one, would use a special issue of the Voice—which largely ceased its print operations in 2017—to help him bid farewell to the city; October 31 marked the end of Styles’s 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden during his Together, Together tour.“It…

Perhaps it was the spirit of Halloween weekend in the air, but this week’s Hollywood red carpets zeroed in on one particular word: Fun. A-listers were not afraid to experiment and play this week—choosing statement pieces such as theatrical headgear and off-kilter silhouettes that injected their looks with a sense of lightheartedness.Take Elle Fanning at the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping. The actor channeled Effie Trinket in a three-dimensional Robert Wun pink couture ballerina gown, complete with a pillbox hat with another ballerina dancer on top. We love whimsy!

Previous editions of the fashion brand and media company’s collaborative party have asked guests to come as Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana, and Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. For Unemployed’s co-founders Cecile Winkler and Sophie Tabet, the magic lies in seeing how everyone makes the theme their own. “There is nothing more fun than finding yourself in a room where everyone is dressed up as that one thing, but they’re doing it in a different way,” Winkler told Vogue. “It brings you together. And it feels so absurd. You lose your friends because everyone looks the same.”And with a…

I guess we are!”Love remains complicated for Marian Brook (Jacobson) and Larry Russell (Harry Richardson). Their engagement is over, but feelings remain. “There’s deeper heartbreak than before,” Richardson said. “Larry desperately wants to be with her, but there are so many societal pressures keeping them apart.
