For nearly two decades, I've explored fashion and beauty
to better understand who we are.
And who we strive to become.

A Life in White Shirts
The white shirt has remained a steady fixture, showing up decade after decade, through various jobs, ambitions, loves and losses. And all the reinventions in between.
For founders whose name is the brand, stepping away is anything but simple.
Building a Wardrobe | Amy Smilovic
Amy Smilovic has created more than a fashion vocabulary. She's given women a framework for understanding themselves.
The New Mommy Wars
The newest Mommy Wars have nothing to do with parenting. They're playing out in dermatology offices, comment sections and the mirror.
IMAN
There are few mononymous women in the world. Yet one statuesque fashion muse, legendary model, cosmetics entrepreneur and humanitarian stands heads above.

What Would Jenna Lyons Wear
Jenna Lyons' style—and legacy—may have been built over 30 years at J.Crew, but she continues to influence how we get dressed. This fall, I'm asking: What Would Jenna Lyons Wear?
