I really didn’t know I wanted to work in fashion. I was an art girl, and my dream was to come to New York. I grew up in Wisconsin, and I couldn’t wait to leave the Midwest. My art form was found objects. I knew I had a real rapport with assemblage and repurposing things. I just didn’t really know how to become a fine artist.The first job I got was at Macy’s in the display department. For my interview, I bought a vintage 1940s skirt suit at one of the shops on 8th Street and wore it with vintage…
No handbag trend was more dominant on the fall 2026 runways than the top-handle. Designers across the fashion capitals sent models down the catwalk carrying purses by one or two short straps, putting the handheld style firmly back in the spotlight. But if the phrase “top handle” still conjures images of overly prim bags that look plucked from another era, this season’s assortment will have you reconsidering the once-retro category.Vogue’s Guide to the Best Top-Handle Bags:The East-West ClutchSavette Slim Symmetry leather clutchJump to reviewThe Convertible Crossbody BagKhaite Blake top handle bagJump to reviewRather than adhering to one specific aesthetic, the…
On and off the runways, vintage-inspired graphic tees are having a moment, too. New York designer and 2026 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up Emily Dawn Long’s styles are released in drops that instantly sell out; Long has knack for coming up with clever phrases like “Take Off Your Clothes” or “Spoiled Boys” that have cultivated an ‘IYKYK’ fashion status.The unbothered cool of a hard-to-come-by graphic tee has transcended off-duty style, as well: Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones recently sported two vintage Chloé tees on her Sense & Sensibility press tour. And Zoë Kravitz, another style icon whose graphic tee looks I’ve been emulating…

Frequently asked questionsMakeup tricks & tips for older eyesA few adjustments to your usual application technique can help eyeshadow look smoother on mature lids. There are simple hacks like pressing shimmer on the highest part of the brow arch to give a subtle lifting look to the eyes.

The secret to that enviable glowing complexion might not be as elusive as you might think. Brightening dull-looking skin really only requires figuring out what is causing it and making a few tweaks in your skin routine (and maybe a visit to your favorite esthetician for a peel or laser, but more on that later).Dull skin isn’t inherently bad or dangerous, but no one wants to look dry and tired.

In the grand history of horror, however, more traditionally spooky figures have stood out. One of the most iconic on-screen serial killers to date is Scream’s Ghostface. When the Wes Craven franchise first came out in 1996, costume designer Cynthia Bergstrom was tasked with coming up with the original costume. She drew inspiration from the classic Edvard Munch painting Scream—though at one point, she toyed with the idea of an all-white getup. “We put a friend of mine in the white costume, and he basically looked like a giant Casper the Ghost,” said Bergstrom. The more nondescript black cloak they…
I’m an evangelist of what I’ll call “obvious gifting.” While every TikTok gift guide would have you believe that the only gifts worth giving are incredibly niche, I’ve been running in the opposite direction: Often, the right present is the one that’s a little on the nose. Cushy sweaters, fancy chocolate, nice headphones—all of the obvious stuff, deployed correctly, works perfectly.The best example, though, might just be jewelry. After all, who can resist the appeal of sparkly diamond earrings or an engraved ring or an iced-out tennis bracelet? Sure, you’re not reinventing the wheel. But there’s no reason to force…
Liz Phair has long admired Sleater-Kinney from afar. Phair remembers listening to Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker’s self-titled debut—dropped two years after her own, the genre-defining Exile in Guyville in 1993—while pregnant with her son, and was struck by how they’d crafted such catchy hooks in songs so raw and textured.“When I heard Sleater-Kinney for the first time, it felt like they were speaking a musical language that I completely understood,” Phair tells Vogue. “Corin and Carrie are both total rock stars and I’ve always held them in such high regard.”When Phair was planning her fall tour earlier this year,…
Rather than lemons into lemonade, Hannah Chody spent much of the past three years turning Golden Peach into Bellini. This month, the creator with over 387,000 followers made headlines—and smashed sales rankings—after creating Bellini, a shimmery rose-gold eye shadow made in collaboration with Saie that’s based on a discontinued Tom Ford Beauty hue called Golden Peach.There’s clearly an opportunity here for brands and creators alike. Bellini launched on October 15 as a permanent addition to Saie’s SuperSuede Baked Eyeshadows collection and was an immediate hit. It sold out in just a few hours, according to the Business of Fashion, and…
