September 15, 2021 at 09:05PM This season, we’re seeing the continued appreciation of the knee high boot. The sleek, sophisticated look is being reinvented to make the silhouette more exciting and fashion forward. We’ve loved the knee high shape for a long time, and now it’s back with a distinctly 2021 twist, like western-inspired styles and bold snake print. Fall is coming, and it’s time to break out the boots. These nine knee-high styles deserve your attention this season. We like them paired with mini dresses, longer silhouettes, maybe with a slit, and even with pants tucked in. They’re the perfect footwear choice for that in-between weather the season is known for.

September 15, 2021 at 06:30PM Image Source: Courtesy of Cartier People have been proposing with engagement rings since the early 20th century, with the popularity of De Beers, the infamous British company who introduced the slogan “a diamond is forever” in 1947. But did you know that the engagement ring got its meaning way back in 850? According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Pope Nicholas I declared that the engagement ring was a symbol of a man’s intent to marry. Back then women sported rings in gold, ivory, and copper to affirm their mutual love. Since then, engagement rings and proposals have been synonymous for future spouses. According to De Beers, 72 percent of spouses surveyed were proposed to with a ring in 2019. But with the average price of a diamond ring ($6,000) and the freedom to deter from genders,…

September 15, 2021 at 05:50PM For Fashion Week, designers are known to send a parade of models down the runway donning their upcoming collections, or, at the very least, debuting an editorial-style lookbook. However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, the biannual event is taking on an increasingly digital nature, and Telfar is the latest to deviate from the status quo. The brand did so with an unexpected twist, and in the end, fans got exactly what they wanted: a new handbag. There wasn’t the scenic runway you may be used to from the brand, showcasing its unisex designs often defined by cutouts, asymmetry and sporty attributes. And no, there was no lookbook, either. Instead, designer Telfar Clemens and a panel of 12 others held a press conference on Sunday in New York, with a dual Instagram Live for fans to join in.…

September 15, 2021 at 01:40AM The 2019 Met Gala’s “Camp” theme still had a prominent influence on many of this year’s attendees, but many of those who understood the 2021 Met Gala’s “In America” assignment took inspiration from some of history’s most influential stars. Much like Yara Shahidi showing up in a head-to-toe Dior outfit inspired by Josephine Baker, model Anok Yai also gave a nod to the 1920s entertainer and civil rights activist. Channeling pique “Old Hollywood” glam, Anok posed on the Costume Institute steps in a figure-hugging Oscar de La Renta dress from the Spring 2022 collection. While Anok and Yara’s outfits couldn’t have been more different, both paid an honorable tribute to the Jazz Age star. Described as a “skimming celestial crystal gown” by the Oscar de La Renta Instagram page, the dress features a plunging neckline and crystal designs…

September 15, 2021 at 12:55AM The 2021 Met Gala was packed with celebrities making impassioned fashion statments and YouTuber Nikkie Tutorials, aka Nikkie de Jager, took the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most iconic figures in LGBTQ+ history: transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson. Nikkie’s turquoise tulle gown, courtesy of Edwin Oudshoorn Couture, was embellished with pink, red, and yellow flowers that beautifully matched her golden headpieces brimming with handmade silk flowers, a nod to Marsha’s signature flower crown. Further down, the dress, styled by Marja Bennenbroek and Brandon M. Garr, was pinned with a large teal and gold bow embroidered with the words “Pay It No Mind,” the meaning behind Marsha’s middle initial and her typical response to questions about her gender. “Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for so many of us, and I hope I made my community…
