THE PINT-SIZE BAGUETTE Fendi’s small but mighty black-crystal-embroidered “nano” Baguette bag works perfectly added to the big version as a charm, or on its own. Handbag, Fendi, $990, fendi.com. THE GLADIATOR SANDAL Olivier Rousteing’s take on a tough Parisienne was heavy on the studs. The ideal finishing touch? Spiky gladiators that show the world you’re a force to be reckoned with. Sandal, Balmain Paris, $1,115, balmain.com. THE MODERN CHOKER Match the starry night sky with Repossi’s black gold tubogas-style Berbere choker, with its seemingly endless rings of white diamonds. Choker, Repossi, repossi.com.…

“It’s important to own where you’re from,” says designer Alex Bossi. For him, that’s East Boston, where he recently returned to live in his family’s auto body shop after years spent working all over the world. His new digs became a source of inspiration for his fashion line, Bossi Sportswear, launching this summer at Maxfield in L.A., Riccardi in Boston, Pretty Box in Paris, and Le Gray in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Case in point: He adorns all the hardware on his clothes with iridescent coloring inspired by an oil slick.) The majority of the collection is produced at the legendary Sterlingwear of Boston factory, known for supplying peacoats to the U.S. Navy. The 32-year-old wants his work to have the same staying power as those combat-ready jackets. Sustainability is also…

SAM FALLS For his expansive, abstract landscapes, the artist frequently lets Mother Nature do the work by arranging site-specific leaves, twigs, and flowers on canvases that he then exposes to the elements. Given the bag’s petite frame, Falls opted for smaller-scale Northern California wildflowers and a mother-of-pearl logo. TSCHABALALA SELF Patchwork and collage are key to the work of Harlem native Self, whose large-scale portraits of black female figures use scraps of fabric, paint, and even discarded remnants from her previous works. Self’s Capucines includes 19 different leathers, many of which were upcycled from the Vuitton ateliers. URS FISCHER Fischer’s larger-than-life pieces embrace natural decay (see: the Swiss chalet he constructed from bread in 2004). The artist chose to treat the Capucines as a blank canvas in white Taurillon leather,…

Nothing turned heads like the ruffled, multicolor ensembles that floated down the staircase at Tomo Koizumi’s fall show, and that brilliant color story echoed through beauty on the runways as well. Makeup artist Romy Soleimani drew abstract swipes of raspberry-pink and cherry-red lipsticks on models’ lids at Carolina Herrera’s show at the New-York Historical Society. And Thomas de Kluyver used lilac, kelly green, deep orange, and fuchsia tones inspired by a vivid Pablo Amaringo mural at Kenzo’s show at the Louvre. The saturated single shades were a joyful antidote to the tension outside museum walls. “IT IS A CRAZY TIME IN THE WORLD, and when we are in a crazy time, we get more creative and we want to make more of a statement,” Soleimani says. She painted models’ eyes…

A MENTION OF PACO RABANNE evokes two kinds of imagery: chain-mail dresses (an iconic design from the brand’s Mod heyday, now reinvented) and hyper-masculine fragrance campaigns. But September marks a new chapter for the fragrance arm of the 53-year-old fashion house with the launch of Pacollection by Paco Rabanne, six gender-neutral scents in addictively touchable pouch bottles made to look and feel like moldable metal. “I insisted that the packaging be soft,” artistic director Julien Dossena says of his first foray into fragrance since taking over the brand in 2013. “It gives a relaxed and easy feeling.” The six models Dossena chose for Pacollection’s campaign, including Dree Hemingway, all channel gender fluidity and youthfulness. “Is the perfume unisex? Feminine? Masculine? I think we don’t care anymore,” Dossena says. He chose…

EPISODE: “ALL THE RAGE” GET THE LOOK: STRAIGHT UP STEP 1 Marjan pulled back the front half of the model’s hair and secured it with an elastic, then brought up the rest and added a second elastic to create one high ponytail. “Facial features are GOOD GUIDES for a ponytail. I used the tops of the ears.”—Justine STEP 2 She then wrapped the same fabric used in the designer’s dress around the base of the ponytail to hide the elastics and add some lift. STEP 3 Marjan straightened the ponytail with a one-inch flatiron before spraying on TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Level 4: Extend Hair Spray ($5). “We wanted to see the hair bounce,” Marjan says.

In 2016, Carrie Flynn had just started her first clinical rotation for the Yale School of Medicine. For six weeks, she would work in Bridgeport Hospital’s ob-gyn department, during which time she’d be shepherded in and out of operating rooms by residents and attending physicians. Flynn, then 28, rarely met patients before their surgeries. Instead, the third-year student would often show up at an operating room, where the female patient was already unconscious, and observe or perform whatever maneuver her superiors requested. (She remembers once asking if she could pre-round on patients before surgery in order to introduce herself. She was told no.) Flynn once performed a pelvic exam on a woman who was under anesthesia. This involves placing two fingers into the vagina while a second hand is placed…

MILEY CYRUS WANTS TO READ ME SOMETHING SHE WROTE.“I TRY TO MEDITATE THE NIGHT BEFORE INTERVIEWS ON WHAT MY GOALIS, WHAT I WANT THIS TO SAY ABOUT ME.” WE’RE IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THE HOUSE SHE BOUGHT AT 18, in the hills above the San Fernando Valley. At some point it became her office, but she and Liam Hemsworth moved back in after their Malibu home burned down in the Woolsey fire last November (the couple married a month later at her Tennessee farmhouse). On the walls are framed portraits of Elvis and Dolly Parton. There’s a view to the pool outside. Two of her dogs snuggle on the couch between us as Cyrus rests her notebook on her lap, clears her throat, and begins. “My record is called…

ELLE has always reveled in summer, with some of our most iconic shoots taking place in picturesque beachside locales. Elle Macpherson was one of our ’80s mainstays, appearing in every issue for six consecutive years. In 1987, she fronted a trio of models wearing minimalist, cutout swimwear. (“Black to the future: In sleek black suits, the barer the better” was a story headline.) Indeed, the distinctively high-cut silhouettes and sci-fi shades, which were the height of Reagan-era fashion, feel incredibly au courant for 2019—the perfect additions to your summer mood-board.…

“IT HASN’T REALLY SUNK IN YET,” says Jhoan “Sebastian” Grey, a week after taking home Project Runway’s grand prize, which includes $250,000 and a CFDA mentorship. “I’d watched the show a couple of times back home in Colombia,” he says, “but I certainly never thought I’d ever be a part of it, much less the winner.” His mother would insist that he was talented enough to audition, but Grey was convinced that language and geography would hold him back. He turned instead to ballet, which he studied seriously from ages 8 to 17. Grey got a second shot at fashion when he moved to Miami in 2016, enrolling in classes at the local outpost of Milan’s prestigious Instituto Marangoni design school. Two years later, his husband filled out the Project…

Michael Kors skipped his senior prom for a much more pressing engagement: a night out at the legendary Studio 54. The club’s chic denizens “had no idea we were high school students from Long Island,” the designer recalls. “The minute I walked in, I knew it was the place to be—that the mix of style, energy, and sexy glamour was truly special. It felt like the scene in The Wizard of Oz when they finally reach Oz.” This season, Kors took us all to his own personal Oz when he channeled late-’70s glam for his fall show. He had a little help from two of the era’s biggest icons: Patti Hansen, who made a heralded return to the runway, and Barry Manilow, who performed “Copacabana” (with Bella Hadid grooving alongside…

On the red carpet, Van Cleef & Arpels’s designs, such as the iconic Zip necklace, are already familiar sights. Now the jewelry house is coming for your coffee run. Its latest Perlée collection aims to elevate the basics with gleaming gold-beaded bands and cabochons of coral, malachite, turquoise, carnelian, and lapis lazuli. Just the thing for a denim-clad, off-duty (but oh-so-paparazzi-savvy) celeb clutching her Starbucks. The star of the new 17-piece range? This diamond and rose gold “secret” watch bracelet, featuring a gem-encrusted dome that pivots to conceal the timepiece’s face. Checking your watch just got a lot more chic.…

HARRY JOSH @harryjoshhair Hairstylist and founder of Harry Josh Pro Tools “Out of all the beach sprays, Evo Salty Dog Salt Spray ($29) is the least drying—and it doesn’t get flaky. I use it on wet hair and either let it air-dry or blow-dry it with a diffuser, flipping the hair upside down. I even use this to create volume during a blowout by spritzing it on the roots. It adds texture to hair types that can’t usually hold a curl, but it doesn’t have the stiffness of a hair spray, so it gives that lived-in vibe.” “THE KEY IS TO NOT TOUCH YOUR HAIR WHILE IT AIR-DRIES. THE MORE YOU TOUCH IT, THE MORE IT BREAKS APART.”—JENN IM KIM KIMBLE @kimblehaircare Hairstylist and founder of Kim Kimble Haircare “I…

A plastic surgeon’s office is one of the last places you want to have communication issues. But cosmetic patients often wind up as the middleman between their doctors, trying to explain what other treatments they’ve had done or are planning to do. New York City dentist Jonathan B. Levine, DMD, and plastic surgeon Oren Tepper, MD, found that some patients—especially those who wanted a younger smile—ended up with heavy-handed work as a result, like giant veneers or overdone lips. “They’d look a lot more natural if their doctors actually planned treatments in conjunction with one another,” Levine says. In a rare move, the pros integrated their planning software into a new program called LipSync and started treating clients simultaneously. Patients heal faster and, at the end of the day, generally…

EPISODE: “ELEGANCE IS THE NEW BLACK” GET THE LOOK: DOUBLE CAT-EYE STEP 1 Lee used Maybelline New York Super Stay Multi-Use Foundation Stick in Warm Coconut ($12) as a base and a hint of Maybelline New York Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in Molten Gold ($10) on the cheekbones. STEP 2 For a twist on the cat-eye, Lee made two parallel wings. She first drew on Maybelline New York Master Precise Skinny Gel Pencil in Defining Black ($8) as a guide, then layered on TattooStudio Sharpenable Gel Pencil in Deep Onyx ($8). “Use the tip of the applicator to MAKE A LINE ALONG the edges of YOUR LIP.”—Grace STEP 3 To tie the look together, Lee applied Maybelline New York SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Creator ($10). EPISODE: “POWER PLAY”…

The vast majority of murderers, murder victims, homicide detectives, and attorneys in criminal cases are men. So why are true-crime conventions packed wall to wall with women? It’s a question that led writer Rachel Monroe to explore the stories of four crime-obsessed women. “We grow up in a culture that’s fixated on wounded, murdered, missing, and endangered women, so it makes sense that we would have complex emotional reactions to these stories about our vulnerability. The fascination comes from the desire to exert control,” she explains. “For some people, it’s about being punitive and tough on crime.” For others, like Lorri Davis—or even Kim Kardashian, who has used her influence to get unfair sentences commuted—it’s about being particularly attuned to injustice. “When Lorri saw a story that called out to…

“Does every generation feel like they’re coming of age at the end of the world?” asks Rhianne Barreto, after settling into a corner booth in a café near New York’s Central Park. We’re talking about some of the more xenophobic policies coming out of the Trump White House, and the 21-year-old British actress’s firsthand experience with them. During the Muslim ban, Barreto (whose father is Iraqi) was heading to New York to film her debut movie, Share (available now on HBO). “The embassy officials were like, ‘Where are you from? You don’t look British. Do you speak Arabic?’” she remembers. “It was so bad, so racist.” Barreto had a slew of powerhouse advocates on her side, like Share’s director, Pippa Bianco, and its production company, A24. Even Senators Elizabeth Warren…

Remember when Miley Cyrus told us she couldn’t be tamed? She’s as outspoken as ever these days, with a provocative new album, She Is Miley Cyrus, and a riveting Black Mirror role that interrogates her Hannah Montana pop persona. When you sit down with Cyrus, no topic is off-limits. In this issue, she talks frankly with Molly Lambert about marriage, sexuality, therapy, and climate change (page 103). After losing her home in the Woolsey fire last fall, Cyrus is reevaluating her priorities and focusing on the issues that are important to her, like reproductive rights. “Nature’s female,” she says. “When she’s angry, don’t fuck with her. That’s the way that I feel women are like right now.” At first glance, Cyrus doesn’t have much in common with Meghan McCain, who’s…

When Georges Vuitton (son of Louis) first introduced the house’s now-iconic Monogram canvas in 1896, he couldn’t have predicted that what was originally a fanciful rendering of its founder’s initials would become a covetable blank slate for some of the art world’s most renowned names. Over the years, Vuitton has enlisted Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and, most recently, Jeff Koons (who emblazoned bags with an image of the Mona Lisa and other treasures of the Louvre) to transform the brand’s already desirable carryalls into bona fide collector’s items. Now, timed to the Louis Vuitton X exhibition in Los Angeles (June 28–September 15), dedicated to celebrating the house’s 160 years of collaboration, the brand presents its ArtyCapucines project. Vuitton asked six artists to transform the tasteful top-handle, including L.A.’s own Alex…

WHAT IT IS At 40, I look young for my age, but I come across as seriously uptight. Or so everyone keeps saying as they ask me what’s wrong. A lifetime of squinting while reading has left me with a furrow between my brows, and gravity is tugging the corners of my lips into the slightest frown. In reality, I’m happy, so why can’t my face look that way, too? Dermatologist Ava Shamban, MD, promises she can turn my frown upside down with a combination of an injectable neuromodulator (e.g., Botox) and hyaluronic acid filler (e.g., Restylane). COST Prices vary depending on your location and the number of areas treated. Ava MD in Beverly Hills averages $600 for Botox and $850 for Restylane. My treatments total about $1,300. WHAT I…

It was only a matter of time before we began Marie Kondo–ing our overcrowded shelfies. With the pendulum swinging back from 10-step K-beauty skin-care routines, even the biggest Korean beauty houses are introducing more abbreviated ranges and multitaskers called “skip care.” It’s a revolution that’s equal parts practicality and existential crisis. Who has time for multiple cleansers, toners, essences, serums, and lotions, not to mention a sheet mask for every life circumstance? And does all of it really spark joy? Credit for inspiring more streamlined skin care is due to the minimalist philosophies of Kondo’s home country, Japan. While the K-beauty boom valued novelty and innovation, J-beauty brands tout calculated craftsmanship. “There is a return to quality that is the result of ever-increasing demands on our schedules,” says Gisela Ballard,…

The designer and architect Neri Oxman carefully makes her way up the steps to the stage of MIT’s Kresge Auditorium. It’s late February, and Oxman, a tenured professor at the school, is nearly seven months pregnant. She wears a black top, black velvet pants, and high black patent leather stilettos, with her wildly curly hair loosely pulled up, as it often is, to form a halo around her head. Onstage she gives the audience, assembled for an event celebrating the university’s new Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing, a beatific smile. “It has become increasingly challenging to differentiate between the man-made and the nature-grown,” she says, her hands loosely cupped around her belly. “In my [research] group, we believe in the future; we will not build our products and our…

Awkwafina was so moved by the script for Lulu Wang’s The Farewell that the rapper-comedian hired a Chinese tutor. Most of the dialogue in the semiautobiographical film—based on Wang’s family’s attempts to keep her grandmother from learning of her own cancer diagnosis, while also staging an elaborate wedding to gather everyone in China to see the matriarch one last time—was in Mandarin. “I cared so much about doing a good audition tape for Lulu,” she says. “It was probably one of the most important audition tapes of my life.” Wang recalls watching the tape and knowing she’d found her lead, somewhat surprisingly, in a performer whose YouTube stardom spawned from a viral song called “My Vag.” “Her acting was strong, but it was the moments of silence that convinced me—the…

One afternoon in May, Meghan McCain arrives for lunch at a midtown Manhattan restaurant and states the obvious. “I feel like I’m controversial,” she says. Today the conservative cohost of The View, and the daughter of late senator John McCain, has swapped out her customary whimsical dresses and flashy pantsuits for a demure black sweater and slacks, and has the beleaguered disposition of someone who’s searched her name on social media one too many times. Each week, a fresh wave of drama tries to knock McCain over: Occasionally, a spat with one of her more left-leaning cohosts will go viral. (“You don’t need to look at me that way,” McCain recently snapped at her cohost Sunny Hostin.) Other weeks, there will be an uproar over something she’s said in a…

DEAR E. JEAN: I barely make my rent every month. I’m 31, single, and ambitious, and I live in L.A. I’m not complaining—I have a studio apartment to myself, I’m employed and healthy, and I have good friends. I love my life, but I have nothing saved, only $7 in my account. I’m selling my clothes to cover the rest of my rent, and I’m beginning to wonder how I’ll survive. How can I lead an interesting life without money? Any tricks you’ve picked up along the way? I’d love to hear your take on how to live life on a minuscule budget. —PB&J Forever PB, My Young Possum: I ran around New York City with one pair of jeans, two shirts, a fringed jacket, and a cattle dog named Tits.…

“CHRISTIAN DIOR LOVED GRAND BALLS, FOR WHICH HE CREATED HIS OWN COSTUMES. AT THE 1949 BALL OF KINGS AND QUEENS, HE APPEARED DISGUISED AS A LION [LONG ASSOCIATED WITH LEO].”—JEWELRY DESIGNER VICTOIRE DE CASTELLANE LEO July 23–Aug 22 The Sun beams through Leo until August 23, elevating your popularity, and with lovebirds Venus and Mars in your sign until the 18th, folks will flock to you.
