Piers Morgan, who drew intense scorn in Britain for his upbraiding of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, since her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, resigned on Tuesday as an anchor for ITV news after storming off the set of the network’s morning show. The host’s hasty departure from “Good Morning Britain” punctuated a turbulent 24…
Courtesy of Chanel / Inez & Vinoodh We’ll be the first to admit there are things we don’t miss about fashion week: the rigid, never-ending itinerary; midnight deadlines; frantically searching for a bathroom between shows; the guilt associated with being tired, annoyed and overworked while being part of such a beautiful industry. But one thing…
As these intellectuals become spokesmodels, professional models seem to be increasingly photographed with books. In May 2019, Kendall Jenner was seen lounging near a pool in Cannes reading “Literally Show Me a Healthy Person” by Darcie Wilder. In December 2019, Ms. Jenner was snapped on a boat in Miami reading “Tonight I’m Someone Else” by…
Turning Bitter Fruit Sweet A blue dawn as I think about how life will proceed without 80-year-old me. How to make those dim vapors disperse? Eggs, coffee, a thin slice of toast and — dare I open a jar of my homemade marmalade? With the inordinate work to make the jam — slicing countless sour…
Fred Marcus, who was a longtime wedding photographer in New York, often said: “When the wedding is over the photographs will last forever. So will the relationships we made at that event.” Decades later both statements still ring true. In January, the Fred Marcus Studio celebrated 80 years in business. The studio, which has always…
The “After” may soon be upon us. With the news that vaccinated people can start hugging and gathering indoors again, the promise of enough vaccine supplies for every American adult in May, and with some of the hardest-hit countries now well into vaccine distribution, things are starting to look up. And while our definitions of…
The fantasy repeats. I am in a crowd, nodding but only half listening to the conversation. The liquid in my glass has warmed to an unappealing temperature. My feet hurt from impractical shoes — maybe heels, maybe some kind of heavy, embellished boot. I wave across the room at an acquaintance, and my stacks of…
Short or long, closefitting or loosely accommodating, they began gaining traction last fall with a boost from “The Undoing.” In that popular HBO thriller, Grace, Nicole Kidman’s character, a Manhattan therapist, saunters around the Upper East Side in a succession of slender jewel-tone wraps that, to viewers, were objects of chatter and lust. Primly constructed…
Creating a home that suits you isn’t easy. It takes time, trial and error — and sometimes more than one renovation. Chris Taylor, 41, discovered this firsthand after buying a 2,500-square-foot apartment in the Palmolive Building, an Art Deco tower in Chicago, in 2013.

Courtesy of Dior / @Elina_Kechicheva Dior’s magic is the stuff of fairytales. From its embrace of the feminine mystique to an international, all-star fanbase that includes its newest face, Jisoo of Blackpink, to supernatural growth in sales in 2020 despite a global pandemic, the fashion house knows the power of storytelling. For its fall-winter 2021…
