Chesky also addressed the crowd. “People thought this idea was crazy—they literally said strangers are never going to stay in other strangers’ homes, and I said yes, they will, Mom,” he shared, drawing laughter from the crowd. “This idea that people thought was crazy completely took off and has grown into a community of guests and hosts all over the world.”In 2012, an Airbnb host named Shell took the concept a step further, opening her home to people displaced by Hurricane Sandy. “This wasn’t our idea, this is an idea that came from the community, and that was the beginning…

It’s no secret that the waistline on our jeans has been dipping lower and lower, which means we have to learn how to style jeans differently depending on the rise. At the most recent spring-summer 2027 runway shows, I saw more low-rise silhouettes on skirts and pants than I’ve seen in a long time, so it’s confirmed: The high-rise denims that dominated the streets need to make room for their mid- and low-rise sisters. As a fashion editor, I’ve sat in rooms where fellow writers and editors either embraced the Y2K-styled low-slung pants or vehemently rejected them. But I happen…

It tracks that Winona Ryder, every goth girl’s ’90s style icon, would be born just two days before Halloween. From Heathers to Edward Scissorhands, Bram Stoker’s Dracula to The Age of Innocence and Stranger Things, the off-kilter and other-worldly characters she’s played onscreen seem totally in tune with her off-duty penchant for black slip dresses, white lace, and a bright red lip.But before she became the poster girl for her era (earning two Oscar nominations in the process), Ryder was a child star who started acting lessons at 12 and made her screen debut at 14, in the high-school drama…

While clothes and bags are often buzzed about during Fashion Week, so very often it’s the shoes that steal the show. That same ethos courses through the world of street style, where statement footwear can often attract the lenses of enterprising photogs. This season we saw the continuation of flat-soled styles (think ballerinas, jazz shoes, and Vans’ timeless slip-ons) which helped our sharply-dressed street stylers navigate Europe’s cobblestoned streets with aplomb (though Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Christine Centenera says she can handle any type of road in a heel). In New York, kitten-heeled thongs and Marni’s lace-up slingbacks were de rigeur.…

Halloween is still a few days away, but the celebrity costume competition is already heating up. And this year, it seems, imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery. From Kim Kardashian transforming into her daughter North West—with electric-blue lengths and a plethora of piercings—to Paris Hilton paying tribute to friend Britney Spears’s iconic “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance, the early contenders are looking to their fellow pop culture fixtures for inspiration.Elsewhere, Keke Palmer and her son channeled Janet and Michael Jackson, while Owen Thiele and Benito Skinner doubled up as Zara Larsson. There were some more unexpected references,…

Because couture can read as a relic of a bygone era, it’s also crucial for designers to appeal to a younger audience and find other ways to delight clients. “A major challenge is keeping haute couture cool and contemporary, in step with our times, even when it comes to an evening gown,” says Mabille, who last season innovated dresses that could transform into double looks — black on one side; gold or fuchsia on the other.For a brand like Hermès, traditionally known for understatement rather than red carpet dressing, the rationale is less obvious. A spokesperson for the brand told…

The star wore a deep mocha-brown Phoebe Philo crewneck sweater, and paired it with a lighter, almost caramel brown pair of jeans. Warm and cozy in feel, you could call the whole look apple cider-chic. It’s basically the sartorial equivalent of enjoying the toasty drink on a chilly fall day. To make it feel a little more sleek, however, Rihanna added some classic black accessories into the mix—like her thick-rimmed shades and classic ballet flats.One can never expect Rih to fall in line with seasonal trends, though. Even when she’s enjoying the go-to fall color palette, she’ll add a killer…

On the final day of Mexico Fashion Week, the label Minena made its debut. Originally founded in 2020 by María José Jiménez and sisters María Gabriela and María del Mar Carbonell, the brand is now led by the latter two.For this milestone, the Señorita nena collection centered on the tension between biological age and the way a woman perceives herself. Both sisters recently turned 31, and most of their clients are around the same age, so the transition into adulthood is something they think about often. They also believe that the idea resonates with the youngest Millennials, who turn 30…

Being a witch is not just for Halloween. There is a genuine resurgence of witchcraft afoot, especially among Gen Z, who are embracing ritualistic magic as a lifestyle—and one with far more positive associations than the historically stigmatized archetype.Perhaps in a world that feels like it’s falling apart at the seams—and for those not part of an organized religion, who now make up roughly a quarter of the global population, according to Pew—it is tempting to seek sanctuary in magical forces. Plus, in the age of social media and AI agents plugged into every aspect of your life, there’s something…

In the four years that have passed since Daniel Herranz presented Sentimiento, his first collection for Zurce, at Mexico Fashion Week, he has evolved his brand from mostly knitwear into a wardrobe of everyday pieces elevated by his unexpected take on fabrics, silhouettes, and proportions.Finding a distinct identity is, of course, an integral part of building a brand, particularly in its early years. For his last three collections, Herranz has turned literary, looking to books that have left a lasting impression on him for inspiration. The first was Prosper Mérimée’s novella Carmen, followed by the story of Pedro Páramo and…
