When Donald J. Trump appeared at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia last weekend to promote a limited-edition line of gilded high-tops, there were a lot of boos in the crowd, but none coming from Roman Sharf. A watch dealer who is known for his selection of tangerine-size Audemars Piguets and Patek Philippes, Mr. Sharf ended up…
On Friday, just outside Palm Springs, Calif., you might have thought a strange mirage had appeared: One or two zillion tweens descended upon an arena, all wearing platform Doc Martens. Had some official communiqué been issued, at a frequency undetectable to those older than 25? Had everyone been subconsciously nudged to pair boots with fishnets…
Madison Square Garden went very quiet when my face appeared on the giant screen above center court. The silence was noticeable. A few seconds earlier, Kenan Thompson’s face had brought down the house. It wasn’t like anyone gasped or got angry — no one seemed taken aback. It was just that no one knew who…
In 1994, Dr. Michel Cohen, a 35-year-old Moroccan-French émigré, opened Tribeca Pediatrics in a storefront on Harrison Street in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood. Dr. Cohen had tousled brown hair and wore thick-framed eyeglasses and clothes by brands such as Commes des Garcons, Paul Smith and A.P.C. He rode around the neighborhood on a bicycle and made…
There are nights when Michael Shields lies awake next to his wife and thinks about Ping-Pong balls. He muses on their arcs and speeds, the ways they bounce off a wooden plank or roll down a Hot Wheels track. In the mornings he often turns his visions into reality, and millions tune in to watch.…
Hacía tiempo que un poco de barriguita no llamaba la atención de la moda. En el siglo XVII, el pintor flamenco Peter Paul Rubens hizo arder los salones con sus bellezas carnosas. Ahora, la pancita y los hoyuelos en la piel están a punto de ser reivindicados. ¿Cómo? Con el lanzamiento de Panty, una línea…
Después de más de dos años de matrimonio, seguimos teniendo citas casi todas las noches. Esto irrita a mis amigos y familiares cuando ignoro sus llamadas mientras recorro la casa, encendiendo velas y preparando la cena. A eso de las 7 p.m., mi esposo y yo nos hundimos en los cojines del sofá, con los…
Claude Montana, the audacious and haunted French designer whose exquisite tailoring defined the big-shouldered power look of the 1980s — an erotic and androgenous tough chic that brought him fame and accolades until he was felled by drugs and tragedy in the ’90s — died on Friday in France. He was 76. The Fédération de…
You’d think Wayne LaPierre would have read the playbook. After decades in the spotlight, the former chief executive of the National Rifle Association could have been expected to know that, for public figures, conspicuous consumption is always a bad look. This is seldom truer than when sartorial choices come into play. And among the dominant…
When news broke in July that Kyle Richards, a star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, a real estate agent and a star of Netflix’s “Buying Beverly Hills,” were separating, reality TV fans despaired. The married couple of 27 years has for nearly half of that time appeared…
