Giorgio Armani, Fashion’s Paterfamilias, Dies Aged 91
The designer redefined modern tailoring, changing the shape of modern fashion in the process
Giorgio Armani, fashion’s paterfamilias who redefined the classic jacket for the modern era and helped transform Milan into one of the four major fashion capitals has died, his employees and family announced on September 4. He was 91. His revolutionary instinct to excise the padding and interlining that traditionally gave tailoring its rigid structure breathed new life into traditional menswear by revealing second skin garments that both men and women could move freely in.
A First Look At Karl, A Tender Documentary About The Legendary Designer’s Life
From his childhood in Hamburg to his 36-year-long career at Chanel, director Nick Hooker portrays the man behind the iconic persona in a softer light.
Whether you know him for his miniature figurines, beloved cat, or extraordinary career at Chanel, few would argue that Karl Lagerfeld embodies everything it means to be a legendary designer. A persona in his own right, the lasting image of the creative director remains his sleek white ponytail and high-collared suits. However, outside of his longtime collaborators and employees, few knew the man behind the enigmatic mask. That is what Karl, the new documentary debuting at the Telluride Film Festival this week, sets out to portray.
What to wear to a winter wedding if you want to be the most stylish guest
Our guide to winter wedding outfits to help you look chic in the cold.
What to wear to a winter wedding, you ask? Winter weddings are undeniably romantic, but sure pose a slightly practical problem when it comes to figuring out the best wedding guest dress. After all, wedding guest dressing can prove a head-scratcher even in the height of summer, let alone when the mercury dips into unfavourable temps.
How does one look party-ready while staying warm enough for all the outdoor festivities? And how might one style a look for a winter wedding guest differently from, say, a Christmas party dress? Are sequins a yes or a no? What’s the best jacket to wear atop your winter wedding guest dress?
5 autumn colour trends we’re wearing on repeat in 2025
Buh-bye, butter yellow.
The biggest autumn colour trends are here to breathe new life into your wardrobe, and not a moment too soon.
While summer was defined by sweet pastels, including petal pink and butter yellow, this season’s trends are shaping up to be much more saturated.
Moody purples and deep browns appeared on many of our favourite fall runways, bringing major drama with minimal effort. On the brighter side, pops of grass green and pumpkin orange liven up sleepy outfits. And grey is cooler than ever right now—great news for anyone who shies away from bold hues.
7 best winter coats for women 2025, according to the runways
Some forever faves.
Repeat after me: You do not need new outerwear every single year. Shop well, and the best winter coats for women will last you a lifetime.
Need proof? Even the catwalks are promoting that sentiment. Where the market remains pretty saturated with other winter capsule wardrobe items, the runways are insisting that your coats are forever safe. You know, the type of tailored coat you can happily wear to work for years and years, or the faux fur coat that feels like a sartorial hug. But with that being said, some more recent winter coat types are proving they have longevity. The barn coat, for example, we’ve loved the contrast collar style for years now, and it shows no signs of waning, even with the numerous new iterations appearing on all our favourite sites.
15 autumn haircut trends for 2025 you need to know about
Autumn has landed, and with a new season comes the desire for reinvention. So we’ve tapped the top hairstylists for the autumn hair trends they predict will dominate in 2025.
Unsurprisingly, the bob is still reigning supreme. But this year, the spotlight is on soft, airy textures and playful flicks rather than sharp, angular shapes – plus the much-loved bell-bottom bob is back, mirroring fashion’s continuing love affair with all things boho.
Bruce Willis and Emma Heming Willis Built a Love and Life Together. Then, She Says, Everything Came Apart.
It’s been hard to find silver linings, or what Emma calls “cracks of light”—like the fact that she and Bruce never argue anymore. But they have built something new, and as a caregiver, she has found her voice helping others.
By the time she understood something was happening, that part of her life was already over.
Emma Heming Willis did not yet know that her husband had frontotemporal dementia. The disease, known as FTD, affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control a person’s language and behavior. How they perceive the world and exist within it. Their personality. These sections of Bruce Willis’s brain—the sections that had made him an international movie star and, much more crucially for Emma, a protective partner and exuberant father who could find fun anywhere—were dying.
What Emma knew was that Bruce had changed. At first, she thought maybe it was just the kind of dwindling that happens in a long-term relationship. Eventually, she became alarmed. Emma remembers this mystery that was foisted upon her: “What is going on? This is not the person that I married. Something is just so off. And I just couldn’t figure it out.”
Giorgio Armani, Fashion Paragon of Sophistication and Success, Dead at 91
The designer married Hollywood glamour with Italian tailoring to build a vast, independent luxury empire.
“Fashion is a serious job—and a wonderful one, for that matter,” Giorgio Armani said when I interviewed him in late 2021. At the time, Armani was 87 years old, his job not yet done. He remained deeply entrenched in the daily operations of Giorgio Armani Spa, the multibillion-dollar luxury business, spanning fashion, home, hospitality, sports, and philanthropy, that he built from the ground up and operated independently. He held the titles of chairman, chief executive officer, and creative director of his company until his death Thursday at age 91.
Post-Summer Pigmentation Is Rife Right Now—Here’s How The Experts Recommend Treating It
Brighten skin and improve tone
They say ‘every face tells a story’ and that couldn’t be truer of mine at the moment. My face tells the story of a woman who has just returned from a week’s holiday in Greece, where, despite wearing a factor 50 facial sunscreen every single day, alongside a beautiful wide-brimmed hat that complemented every single outfit, she has the tell-tale signs of sun exposure. There are freckles across the nose and uneven dark patches along the jawline and forehead. Cow print might have had a fashion moment earlier this year, but that sort of pattern across the complexion is evidence of hyperpigmentation.
Longevity Serums Are Skincare’s New Obsession—Experts Break Down the Complex Science Behind Them
The buzzword is everywhere, but here’s what they really do
It’s no secret that the skincare industry holds anti-ageing in high esteem, but beauty consumers have been steadily rejecting the idea that younger = better. However, a new buzzword has entered the zeitgeist, and it signals an intriguing shift in how we take care of our complexion. Enter: longevity serums.
Longevity has influenced the various ways we treat our body, from our exercise routines to the foods we eat. And now, it’s coming for our skincare. In theory, it seems like a healthier approach to ageing that promotes taking care of our skin without unrealistic expectations of how our appearance changes over time. But how do longevity serums differ from previously marketed anti-ageing ‘solutions’?
Yes, Instagram Is Ruining Your Holiday
If you went on holiday and didn’t post it, did it even happen?
I’ll admit it: scrolling Instagram for holiday inspiration is probably—sadly—one of my favourite, or at least most common, ways to while away the time. And yet, I’m not in the least surprised that new research from Icelandair shows social media is actually having an adverse effect when it comes to going abroad. So much so that 47% of us say social media negatively impacts our holidays. That number rises to 77% of Gen Z and 67% of Millennials.
Will that stop me from typing “Euro Summer” into my search bar? No, of course not. But I think there’s value in acknowledging the ‘Instagram versus reality’ disconnect. You see, holidays have been aestheticised. TikTok is stuffed with candyfloss sunsets, sparkling seas, and Pretty Little Thing holiday hauls, all largely void of any context.
Louche Suiting Is Everywhere This Season Thanks To Giorgio Armani – Here’s How To Wear The Trend
Chapeau to you, Mr Armani.
It’s perhaps testament to Giorgio Armani’s exhaustive influence on the modern wardrobe that one of his most referenced looks was complete serendipity.
Long before Hollywood stylists wielded power between luxury houses and their celebrity clients, a twenty-year-old Golden Globe nominee walked into the men’s section of Rodeo Drive’s Amarni store and picked out a suit to wear. Julia Roberts not only won the award for Best Supporting Actress that night, she inadvertently created a look that is still causing fashion ripples. That louche grey suit, cut loose in an oversized but not swamping silhouette, paired with a white shirt and striking tie is all the inspiration you need for your winter work-drobe.
Are You in the Market for a $20 Million Rare Blue Diamond With a Legendary American Legacy?
There will be one up for sale this November in Geneva.
Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon, the horticulturalist, philanthropist, art collector, and jewelry patron, is a name often heard these days. She designed the White House Rose garden with her friend First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy that has been a source of recent controversy in the news, inspired the designer Jean Schlumberger, whose Bird on a Rock pin is so often seen on the red carpet, and has become the patron saint of a nostalgic idea of quiet and discreet wealth. Couturier Cristobal Balenciaga created her blue garden clothes, but you only knew that if you knew. And that colorful bangle on her wrist while at work at Oak Spring? A Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co enamel bangle now known as the Jackie bangle—because she gifted a few to her friend, the First Lady.
Giorgio Armani’s Best Red-Carpet Looks Over the Years
The legendary designer died at 91 years old.
It feels impossible to put into words the impact Giorgio Armani has had on Hollywood since launching his namesake fashion house in 1975. Fifty years since laying the groundwork for his fashion empire, the revolutionary designer passed away at age 91, leaving behind an untouchable legacy as a pioneer in fashion and a red-carpet savant.
“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” an Armani representative said in a statement on September 4. “Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects.”
Giorgio Armani, the Italian Designer Who Changed the Shape of Fashion, Has Died
Giorgio Armani, who designed the uniform of aspiration that both defined the 1980s and shaped the course of fashion beyond it, has died, it was announced today. He had turned 91 on July 11. His passing was confirmed by the company.
“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” a statement read. “Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects.”
Olivier Rousteing Celebrates 80 Years of Balmain—Just Don’t Call it a Retrospective
The spring 2026 ready-to-wear collections will see 15 debuts across New York, Milan, and Paris (sorry, Brits!). That’s in addition to the other new collections we saw for fall. It seems like the whole industry is focused on the future, but Balmain and Olivier Rousteing are marking a milestone. The storied French house is turning 80 this September—Pierre Balmain hosted his first fashion show in September of 1945!—kicking off a season of celebrations with an exhibition at Printemps New York, the French retailer’s new US outpost.
“Maybe what is actually new is to celebrate 80 years of a house and 15 years of a designer,” said Olivier Rousteing with a smile, calling from Paris ahead of his trip to New York. With this much movement and reshuffling, permanence and longevity certainly seem like novel ideas. Rousteing is now stateside for the opening of the show this evening, and because he was honored yesterday by the the Museum at FIT with the 2025 Couture Council Award for Artistry of Fashion.
Remembering Giorgio Armani Through His Most Iconic Fashion Moments
Giorgio Armani was a fashion giant who first made his mark in menswear. His signature soft approach to tailoring reshaped not only the masculine suit but also male stereotypes. See Richard Gere at his most drop-dead gorgeous in 1980’s American Gigolo for proof. When it comes to womenswear, Armani focused on sartorialism rather than flou, bringing some of the swagger traditionally associated with haberdashery into a new realm.
Having studied to be a doctor at one point, Armani understood the body and how it moves; he designed clothes that allow free and fluid movement. He also has a sense of occasion, and his genius was to bring a certain easy confidence to red-carpet dressing. His Italian sprezzatura translated effortlessly into Hollywood. Armani is black-tie for winners, as evidenced by stars from Jodie Foster to Cate Blanchett to Renée Zellweger, all of whom wore his designs to pick up their Oscar statuettes.
A Look Back on Giorgio Armani’s Best Red Carpet Power Suits
This week, the fashion world lost one of its greats: Giorgio Armani, the prolific and influential Italian designer who shaped an entire industry, has died at 91.
Among his many accolades, Armani is perhaps best known for setting the look of the 1980s, popularizing the sharp-shouldered suits of the decade—for him and her. And while Armani has continued to dominate the red carpet world with his glitzy gowns in the years that have followed (he is the unofficial king of dressing celebrities for the Oscars, after all), it’s his stylish history of power suits that remain a unique and shining showpiece in his fashion legacy.
Darth Vader’s Lightsaber Auction Sale Sets Record for ‘Star Wars’ Item
The coveted prop was used in ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ and represented a rare opportunity for collectors.
A lucky Star Wars fan is embracing the dark side, as Darth Vader’s lightsaber from the franchise’s initial trilogy has sold at auction for an astronomical sum.
The iconic character’s screen-matched primary dueling lightsaber that was used in the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi sold for $3,654,000 when it hit the block from Propstore in Los Angeles on Thursday, becoming the highest-valued piece from the Star Wars franchise ever up for auction. The winning bid came in at a franchise record of $2,900,000 and reached the final total with the additional buyer’s premium that is paid to the auction house.
The New ‘Wuthering Heights’ Adaptation Is Outrageously Sexy—Is That a Problem?
Some fans of the 19th-century novel don’t necessarily want sex; they just want to yearn.
When news broke last year that Emerald Fennell was at the helm of a new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë fans everywhere immediately saw visions of a Saltburn-coded take on the Gothic romance rife with unflinching displays of sexual depravity. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie will star in the latest big-screen version of the classic 19th-century novel—which tells the twisted, multigenerational tale of Cathy and Heathcliff, childhood playmates turned soulmates and the havoc their thwarted love continues to wreak on those around them even after Cathy’s death.
Remember the Duchess of Kent’s wedding day tiara
The glamorous history behind this sparkling diadem, which after being passed down through several royal generations, has never officially been seen again
In 1961, the Duchess of Kent, then-Katharine Worsley, the daughter of landowner, Sir William Worsley and his wife, Joyce Brunner, married the Queen’s cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. The Duke’s mother, Princess Marina, was the daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark and his wife, Russian Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna, first cousin of the ill-fated Tsar Nicholas II. The Duke’s father, Prince George, was the son of King George V and Queen Mary.
How to Clean Your Oven Racks of Grease and Baked-On Food—Without Scrubbing Forever
Cut through buildup with these expert tips.
Large appliances can be daunting to clean, with multiple parts requiring specific care. Take for example, ovens. While many ovens have helpful self-cleaning features, the oven racks need to be removed first to prevent damage. And unfortunately, the racks may be the dirtiest part of your oven. “Oven racks have a way of collecting memories from every meal cooked,” says cleaning professional Trish Duarte. “The cheese bubbles over, the sauce splatters, and, before you know it, they’re more grimy than glamorous.”
Fortunately, cleaning your oven racks doesn’t have to be a difficult task, or one requiring harsh sprays and expensive solutions. And the more often you clean them, the easier it will be. ”Regular cleaning every few months keeps your racks in great shape,” Duarte says.
How to Clean Your Stovetop and Keep It Gleaming, From Gas to Electric
Keep your stovetop free of grease and food debris by cleaning it regularly.
Your stovetop is a workhorse in the kitchen, so it’s important to keep it clean. Over time, spills and debris left on the stovetop can cause permanent stains and even pose a fire hazard if not addressed. Beyond safety, your stovetop is a focal point of the kitchen, so cleaning it regularly will help enhance the overall aesthetic of your cooking space. Whether you have a gas, electric, or glass stovetop, these cleaning tips will help keep the surface sparkling.
11 Things to Toss From Your Kitchen ASAP
These items are either unsafe or unnecessary—and are taking up precious storage space in your kitchen.
The kitchen is not only the heart of the home, but it’s the workhorse, too. Both of which make it prone to mess and clutter. While a lived-in look is lovely and may suit many households, it’s easy for this essential room to become less functional when it becomes too lived-in. But by taking inventory and assessing what you need and don’t need, you can make this space more streamlined and less stressful. Ahead, cleaning pros share their tips for what to keep and what to toss for a kitchen that is as easy on the eye and easy to work in.
This Is the No. 1 Fall Travel Destination for Gen Z
With a focus on affordability, culture, and off-season travel, Gen Z is heading to Paris for flea markets, cooking classes, and Eiffel Tower picnics.
Gen Z isn’t waiting to take their next trip—they’re booking adventures as early as possible. As of 2025, Gen Z travelers are likely to take longer trips than their millennial counterparts, despite being younger and statistically earning less. This fall, Gen Z travel searches are up 26 percent, with many travelers booking international vacations across all continents.
As young travelers jet-set around the world, one destination has emerged as the most popular spot. According to Airbnb, Paris is the top destination for Gen Z travelers this fall.
This Is the Most Affordable Fall Lake Getaway in the U.S.—and It Has 3 Scenic Lakes to Explore
With boating, fishing, and mountain views, Branson, Missouri offers a classic lake escape at a surprisingly low price.
The American vacation was once defined not by the beaches of Florida or the peaks of Colorado, but by the lake. Families escaped to calm waters for canoeing, hiking, and long afternoons spent idling on the shore. Today, vacations are harder to pin down. Some travelers look abroad to Europe, others to the Caribbean or the Canadian Rockies. Yet there’s a reason lakeside getaways became the country’s first great escape: they’re simple, restorative, and far easier on the wallet than an overseas flight.
