SJP Takes NYC For contributing fashion editor Tabitha Simmons, Sarah Jessica Parker’s sixth Vogue cover story (“Carried Away,” page 126) was an ideal assignment. “She is a woman after my own heart—a businesswoman and the head of a great shoe brand, a mother, actress, wife,” says Simmons, a shoe designer herself. “She is basically doing it all, with grace and enthusiasm.” As such, the story’s fashions mingled pie-in-the-sky extravagance with more practically minded looks suitable for a woman on the go—although once Simmons and photographer Dan Jackson moved the shoot outside, Parker quickly brought surrounding traffic to a grinding halt. “We knew the spread would not be complete without getting ‘Carrie,’ our quintessential New Yorker, on the street,” Simmons says. “What we didn’t anticipate were the throngs of adoring fans, so…

I never particularly thought of myself as a gossip until I saw my first child, age one and a bit, hold a banana to her ear in the kitchen and say “whatsthegoss?” into one end. She had already ruthlessly named me “cappuccinomummy,” but this was a real moment of self-revelation; if she was going to mirror me on the phone, I had better start thinking about what I was saying, or she was going to get an addiction to chitchat and caffeine before she could stand up. In my defense, I was on maternity leave, with my second child, and it is precisely when one is most cut off from other adults that one longs for “thegoss.” A phone call with a like-minded friend could change the mood of a sleep-deprived…

A Life in Objects

“I’M REALLY A FRUSTRATED INTERIOR designer,” Karl Lagerfeld told Vogue in 1990, “very fussy about perfection and detail.” The polyglot creator—designer, photographer, writer, wit, and passionate collector—treated his living environments with almost the same revolutionary ardor as he approached his fashion, moving deftly from giddy nostalgic romance to startling modernity as his fancy and the zeitgeist took him. “I can freak out and change overnight,” he noted. Lagerfeld’s treasures have been dispersed through the years at some notable auctions, and now Sotheby’s will offer a further thousand lots, from his signature fingerless leather gloves to the dishes in which his beloved Birman cat, Choupette, was served her food. The items will be sold across a series of eight online and live auctions (the latter in Monaco, Paris, and Cologne) from November 26 to…

A Life in Objects

Fringe Benefits

When the first post-vaccine holiday season began to come into focus, I found myself craving makeup of the luxurious and theatrical variety—something to steady me as I navigated the festive closeness of a room full of laughing, dancing, sweating revelers, out of practice but elated to be back. That thing, I decided, was the over-the-top eyelashes you could see from across the venue at Marc Jacobs’s New York Public Library fall show: the thicker, the darker, the longer, the better. “People want to play and have fun,” says makeup artist Diane Kendal, who was behind the “extreme” look on Jacobs’s runway, a study in oversized proportions and code-breaking dressing. “I thought, You know what? I’m going to try these lashes on everyone. Once we started doing it on two or three…

Fringe Benefits

THE NORTHWEST CORNER of 28th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan has hosted many ventures in its long history. Once a Gilded Age family home, it was torn down to make way for a bank featuring a separate “ladies entrance” for the discreet transactions of female clients; more recently, it’s been an office building housing everything from the International Silk Guild to the publisher of science periodicals. Soon, 250 Fifth Avenue, which has undergone a seven-year, $200 million restoration, will reopen as the brand-new 153-room Fifth Avenue Hotel. “It’s highly emotional and highly romantic,” 31-year-old owner Alex Ohebshalom says of his NoMad passion project, whose ornate interiors were updated by maximalist designer Martin Brudnizki. Suites are swathed in jewel tones and soft velvets; Murano chandeliers hang from the ceilings. A ballroom…

A Bountiful Bookshelf

‘Tis the season for totally transporting photography books, and this year’s offerings are thrilling. Annie Leibovitz gathers her most enchanting fashion imagery into Wonderland (Phaidon), while Simon Upton’s first monograph, New York Interiors (Vendome), takes us inside more terrestrial domains, chronicling the many fashionable homes he’s visited. Speaking of the fashionable: Slim Aarons: Style by Shawn Waldron and Kate Betts (Abrams) teems with photos of the chicest subjects of Aarons’s fascination. From Aperture comes a different perspective with the haunting Gregory Crewdson: Alone Street and the deeply personal Gillian Laub: Family Matters, in which both artists consider questions of space, community, and culture. Nadine Ijewere’s Our Own Selves (Prestel), meanwhile, magnifies an aesthetic vision inspired by her roots. The artist’s perspective more broadly is celebrated in Spring Cannot Be Cancelled: David…

A Bountiful Bookshelf

In 1995, the Italian brand Diesel created a groundbreaking advertising campaign that included, among other things, an image of two men kissing. Plenty of people sat up and took notice—not least the teenage Glenn Martens, who was living in Bruges, Belgium. “Diesel was the sexiest brand,” Martens recalls. “At high school, everybody was buying it. You could visit the Diesel store and get a catalog,” he continues, “and on the cover of one of them was that gay couple. That was quite revolutionary for me: It really helped me accept and embrace the person I am today.” Fast-forward more than two decades and Martens, 38—the creative director behind Y/Project, the Parisian label known for its rollicking elevation of streetwear and its subversive way with tailoring—has taken on another day job: creative…

IN EARLY LOCKDOWN 2020, when many were toiling away with amateur handicrafts to quell pandemic anxieties, Laird Gough became convinced she needed to throw pottery. Gough and her family were primarily New York–based, but in the car on her way down to Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, she ordered a potter’s wheel. This was no fleeting distraction—in 2019, Gough, who built a career producing events for Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch, had completed a workshop with renowned ceramist Keith Kreeger, and planned to continue classes. Gough set up shop in a barn near her family’s late-18th-century clapboard farmhouse and resumed her education with YouTube tutorials. The results are striking porcelain vessels meant to complement their organic contents; a graceful lip might echo the petal of a calla lily, a wider mouth…

The internet runs on hyperbole, so when the tweet “J.Lo SLAYS” flashed before my eyes this past July, I took it with a grain of salt. When I inevitably clicked through to Jennifer Lopez’s birthday Instagram post, her caption—“52…what it do”—sat below selfies of the world’s most radiant middle-aged megastar posing in a string bikini on a yacht in St. Tropez. The online mob was fixated on the shot of Lopez smooching her once-and-current boyfriend, Ben Affleck. But for me, the story was her skin. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that my own birthday was two weeks away, but as I zoomed in on Lopez’s creaseless, perfectly contoured face, I became consumed by the idea that whatever J.Lo had done to fend off the ravages of…

BRIAN WOO, A.K.A. DR. WOO, a.k.a. “Woo” to those in the know, is sitting among a dizzying array of art and ephemera in his studio at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel: A multimedia sculpture from his friend Nick van Woert is perched next to Sesame Street dolls designed by the artist KAWS and opposite a fiberglass chair Woo made with Los Angeles furniture company Modernica. “I always had a creative scope where nothing really landed in just one medium,” Woo explains, tugging at a Goro’s necklace—“a good, under-the-cut hit,” he says of the cultish piece of jewelry he scored at the late Goro Takahashi’s Harajuku store. The medium for which he is best known, of course, is skin, and his work appears on some of the world’s most famous: Cara Delevingne’s rib,…

Dual Perspective

THE DELIGHT OF A NEW Pedro Almodóvar film is its unpredictability. Will it be transgressive, madcap, hilarious, chilly, erotic—or all of these things? The 72-year-old Spanish director’s last movie, Pain and Glory, was startlingly autobiographical, and featured a glowingly human performance from Antonio Banderas as a director in an emotional spiral. Parallel Mothers, in theaters this month, feels like a sibling to that lovely, elegiac film—given the magisterial performance at its center from another longtime Almodóvar muse, Penélope Cruz. She’s Janis, a photographer and one of two new mothers in a domestic melodrama that offers jolting twists and reversals. Cruz’s firework charisma lights the proceedings, as does that of newcomer Milena Smit, who plays Ana, a younger mother, whose life becomes knotted with Janis’s. The movie is bursting with color,…

Dual Perspective

Hot for the Aughts

While making the rounds of shows during New York Fashion Week in September, I decided to shake up my wardrobe: Gone were the sweatpants I’d been cocooning in for what seemed like forever, and gone was my all-black, shiva-sitting uniform of the era before that—I wanted to bloom into a butterfly, and I wanted Blumarine to be my rhinestone-embellished wings. In its tiny, faux-fur-collared yellow shrug above low-slung cargos, I was suddenly transformed into a Y2K principessa with a little slice of midriff and a whole lot of attitude, whether on my way uptown to Batsheva or riding a Citi Bike over the Williamsburg Bridge to Eckhaus Latta in Bushwick. There’s just something about Blumarine that makes a woman radiate saucy confidence. The Italian label, founded by Carpi native Anna Molinari…

Hot for the Aughts

Sarah Jessica Parker is making the bed: With her back to me, she pulls the under sheet taut in swift, practiced gestures, fluffs up the pillows, and spreads the comforter just so, before stepping back to observe her handiwork. Suddenly sensing that I’ve entered the room, she whirls around and smiles. “Oh, hi!” she says. “I’m sorry, I just had to straighten up here.” Despite her glamorous looks—her blonde hair pulled back in a sleek bun and her full-skirted vintage dress worn over a leopard-print button-down, all accessorized with a pair of high, glittering block-heel pumps, a model from her SJP shoe line—she seems more than anything a diligent, efficient mom making sure things are under control at home. (“That bed thing is so her,” the Bravo host Andy Cohen…

Let the Sunshine In

“I can’t miss a market or a brocante,” says Maison Margiela’s creative director, John Galliano. “I’m very curious; I love hunting, and then the find—the excitement of the unknown, that one key in a door that opens the door and another door and another door.” “You have to pull him back,” admits Alexis Roche, Galliano’s partner and collaborator. “Otherwise, he doesn’t stop!” Galliano, however, cherishes “things that I’ve found in a flea market, or traveling geographically, or historically—they come imbued with a story, an energy,” he explains, “and they start deep emotions. And when those emotions start, I’m able to create.” Many of those treasures are showcased in Galliano and Roche’s Paris apartment in the Marais, and in their modest stone farmhouse in the Auvergne, one of the most unspoiled but remote parts…

Let the Sunshine In

If you’re in the market for a stage and screen actor of peerless honesty, fervor, and daring, Andrew Garfield is your man. But when it comes to high-octane, sell-it-to-the-back-row musical theater performers, his is not the first name that springs to mind. So, it’s a testament to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s genius for spotting unlikely connections that, while he was watching Garfield’s Tony-winning performance in the 2018 Broadway revival of Angels in America, he immediately knew that he had found the leading man for his upcoming film adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s autobiographical pop musical Tick, Tick… Boom! “It was such an incredible feat, and I thought, Oh, this guy can do anything,” Miranda recalls. “He was such a life force—he burned so bright on that stage—and I realized that he had everything…

Early in her career, in 2012, Deana Lawson made a self-portrait—the first and only one she has included in her body of work. In that image, she’s in a formfitting minidress, in a public garden, and her camera is an 8-by-10 behemoth that conceals almost half her body. Although she was in her early 30s when she took that photo, she has the air of a kid with boundless ambition: Her work had just entered MoMA’s photography collection. “I hadn’t totally arrived, but I knew that the work I was making was important in this lifetime and hopefully for lifetimes to come,” she tells me. In the years since Lawson took that photo, she has become one of our most admired contemporary photographers, producing startling compositions, usually more than four feet…

Even on a gloomy afternoon in mid-August, as heavy storm clouds hover in the valley below, the panoramic view of the Catskill Mountains from Iman’s living room is top-of-the-world stunning. Looking out onto the verdant landscape through the floor-to-ceiling windows feels akin to wearing an enormous pair of binoculars. “Hmm. I’m not sure that we’ll see the sunset today,” says Iman, who is seated at her circular dining room table in front of a laptop. She’s dressed in a long robe printed with black and saffron yellow flowers reminiscent of the black-eyed Susans growing along a fieldstone wall outside. She pulls up a gallery of golden-hour images to offer proof of just what I’m missing. “The sight of the beautiful sunset would make me cry,” she says, scrolling through dozens…
