Halloween is practically a national holiday in the Klum household. And while Heidi Klum is keeping the details of her annual, invariably extravagant costume under wraps until October 31, she’s already getting into the spirit of the season. Her latest look? A little pumpkin-orange number for a family night out in New York City.On Thursday evening, the supermodel celebrated the third anniversary of her Crazy Pizza establishment in New York, bringing along three of her four children: Leni, Henry, and Johan. For the occasion, Klum opted for a gloriously theatrical, tangerine-orange Lever Couture dress that featured sculptural, accordion-pleated ruffles that…
Sarah Pidgeon knows the power of a good beauty signature. For the Love Story star, whose transformation into Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy has made her something of a beauty muse in her own right, that increasingly means a softly blurred lip. And at last night’s TIME100 Next Gala, she stayed committed to 2026’s most romantic makeup trend.Pidgeon leaned into the Bessette-Kennedy school of minimalism in a navy pinstripe suit, the sharply tailored blazer worn with a knotted tie-neck detail and nothing underneath. Her beauty look, however, was decidedly softer. Hairstylist Bobby Eliot gave her blonde lengths a voluminous, ’90s-inflected blowout, with a…
Collagen has had main character status in beauty for years. We’ve applied it in serums, drunk it in shots, injected, lasered and used radiofrequency to stimulate it. But as consumers get savvier about the science of aging, the spotlight is shifting to other players in the skin architecture. Enter elastin, the overlooked protein that works in tandem with collagen, which experts predict could be next in line for an industry takeover.“Collagen has certainly been the hot topic of the last three to four years,” says Dr. Ash Soni, founder of UK-based The Soni Clinic, who has started to advise patients…
Encouraged by the early positive reception, Fas is now betting that Japanese traditions and meticulous craftsmanship will resonate with modern skincare consumers around the world. Can it succeed in convincing shoppers to return over the long term?The J-beauty opportunityFas’s rise comes amid the Japanese government’s attempt to boost its cultural exports, creating favorable conditions for a brand like Fas.Experts point to South Korea as the blueprint for treating culture as a primary strategic asset; rather than letting cultural trends grow organically, the Korean government has heavily funded and structurally supported the global distribution of Korean dramas, food, music, and beauty.…
Welcome to the Scoop: a weekly email series in which I quiz fashion insiders on the stories of the week. This will be a way for the Vogue Business community to synthesize and reflect on the latest headlines and get a little inside scoop every Friday.This week’s guests are Tove co-founders Camille Perry and Holly Wright. I first met Holly and Camille a few years ago through Purple PR’s Lydia Steele. However, I had already found myself doing some wistful shopping on their website a year or so before that. I remember scrolling down the Dresses page and thinking somebody…
Here’s how surprisingly divisive today’s topic of conversation is: When I mentioned that I was writing about travel jeans in a recent Vogue Shopping team meeting, it spurred an impassioned response decidedly unusual for 9:30 in the morning around here. Half the room was firmly against, loyal to their elevated athleisure and silk pants with drawstring waists, a smaller contingent was staunchly pro, and one editor who shall remain unnamed voiced a defense of the travel skirt. (She may issue a rebuttal to this piece when she’s ready.) Suffice it to say, everyone has their own take on the travel…
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…
And the Fashion Week circuit keeps rolling along … This week we’re headed to Lagos, Nigeria, where African designers are presenting their spring 2027 collections. One of the continent’s biggest labels, Orange Culture, is back on the runway after a quick detour in Berlin, while longtime local stalwarts Kilentar, Emmy Kasbit, and Lisa Folawiyo will also be presenting their latest creations. In Lagos, we’ve come to expect no shortage of vibrant color, riotous prints, and spirited accessories and already, this season is proving to be no different both on the catwalk and outside of the shows. Follow along as our…
