When Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, stepped off the train this past September for her vacation in Tehran, she wore a loose, black chiffon headscarf with five strands of hair showing. The hair was a statement—the five strands symbolizing bold defiance of the regime, en route to a removal of the headscarf altogether. She

Nine months ago, Zoreen Kabani was consumed by an overwhelming sense of ennui. She felt stagnant, and, quite frankly, bored at the job she’d had for the last nine years. So, the 35-year-old financial advisor switched to another company—and then promptly quit two weeks later. It wasn’t where she worked, she realized, but what she
I first learned about fashion rental services through the classic yet divisive 2008 film, Sex and the City: The Movie. Jennifer Hudson’s Louise (from St. Louis) dropped the deets on her designer bag with the oft-quoted line, “It’s rented; Bag Borrow or Steal—it’s like Netflix for purses.” Nearly 15 years have passed since the movie
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. There’s a memorable photo of Dame Vivienne Westwood, her towering platform heels edging their way out of a gilded frame, a painting come to life.

Courtesy It’s a universal plight: the struggle of walking for long periods of time in shoes that are simply not made to be walked in for long periods of time. Sometimes the duration isn’t even that long; the shoes are just that uncomfortable. This fact of life is unfair to you, sure, but it’s duly

Mark Peckmezian As we finally swap our cozy knits for giant puffers, hats, and gloves, our minds tend to turn toward the mountains. From Aspen to Courchevel to Stowe, snowy escapes provide a chance to hit the slopes, drink hot chocolate, or just sit fireside with that book you still haven’t gotten around to reading.
After bidding the holiday season adieu, we’ve entered the Twilight Zone-like period between Christmas and New Year’s. A series of days where sweatpants are worn with pride, work inboxes are gleefully ignored, and leftovers are consumed like nothing else in your fridge exists. It’s also the period where glorious post-holiday sales return, the top-billing star

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, consumerist culture has us all in quite a chokehold—especially during the holidays.
