What “High Risk” Means And What You Can Do

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. A statement many have heard, but few have really paused to consider. The risk of breast cancer among young adult women is increasing every year. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, and also in Belgium. But what does this number mean for us personally?

The Legacy of Studio 54

Imagine the scene: New York, 1977. The city buzzes with energy, grime, and personal desires. Everywhere, people go about their day, inside a Bottega, waiting at a red light, or behind the bar, but a few streets away, in front of the closed doors of a former theater on 54th Street, a special crowd gathers: emerging and established supermodels, smoking musicians, and aspiring stars hoping to get in.

The Most Influential TV Fashion Moments of the 21st Century

Once upon a time, fashion’s most significant cultural moments came from glossy magazines and runway shows in Paris, Milan, and New York. Today, television holds equal power. In the streaming era, every outfit on screen can be paused, screenshot, dissected, and shared instantly across social media. Shows like Gossip Girl, Killing Eve, Emily in Paris, and Insecure don’t just reflect what’s in style; they create trends, sometimes faster and more decisively than any fashion week presentation.

Three Fashion Weeks, One Mood

Across three cities over nearly three weeks—London, Milan, and Paris—designers unveiled their Spring/Summer 2026 collections. These cities remain the epicenters of fashion, where creativity is both celebrated and redefined. From H&M’s striking London takeover to Giorgio Armani’s final Milan show, and concluding in Paris with craft-driven houses, debut collections, and standout presentations, the season highlighted fashion’s dual pulse of innovation and homage. The European run proved that designers are unafraid to take risks. As Paris continues, the energy suggests a surge of creative momentum.

Princess Diana: The People’s Princess of Streetwear

A woman in an oversized navy blazer steps out of a London taxi. On her feet, she wears white trainers just enough to look lived-in. In her hand, she holds a simple leather tote big enough for daily errands. The camera's flash, and the image is instantly everywhere. It was Princess Diana in the early 1990s, yet the silhouette could easily pass for a fashion editor at Paris Fashion Week today.

The Story Behind the Look: How High-Fashion Campaigns Tell Bigger Stories

Forget the glossy still life of a handbag against a white backdrop. In 2025, fashion’s most powerful campaigns look more like cinema than catalogues. Gucci releases multi-episode films directed by auteurs. Chanel treats its perfumes and ready-to-wear like characters in a movie. Loewe creates intimate portraits of makers and communities. Fashion no longer sells “just clothes.” It sells worlds, stories, and identities you can step into.

Why Micro Bags Are Out and The Oversized Is In

At Copenhagen Fashion Week this August, editors and street photographers noticed something impossible to ignore: bags are getting bigger. On the runways, Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton sent out models with large clutches that demanded a two-hand hold, while in the front row, guests tucked oversized suede pouches beneath sharply tailored coats. The message was clear after years of pretending we could fit our lives into Jacquemus micro-minis; fashion has swung hard in the opposite direction. The oversized clutch has emerged as a trend and a cultural correction. It is practical, sculptural, and designed for a world that craves both beauty and function in equal measure.

NYFW September 2025: Trendsetting, Star Power and Street Style

From September 11 to 16, New York buzzed with its familiar rhythm: taxis rushing past street photographers, editors sprinting between downtown warehouses and uptown rooftops, and a front row where legacy met the next wave. Expectations ran high, especially with Michael Kors opening the week, anchoring the calendar with his timeless American vision. But this season's New York Fashion Week wasn't just about nostalgia or star power but about storytelling. What were the narratives that designers, celebrities, and even street style rebels carved into the cityscape?

The September Issue of Vogue: The Issue That Refuses to Fade

When Vogue's September issue landed in 2012, it was a literal doorstop. 916 pages with Lady Gaga on the cover, the heft of glossy paper echoing the weight of cultural power. Thirteen years later, the September story looks entirely different. Emma Stone fronts the 2025 package, but the magazine is no longer bound to page count. Instead, it is built around a couture-inspired capsule by Nicolas Ghesquière, photographed by Jamie Hawkesworth, and extended into films, podcasts, and behind-the-scenes reels. The September issue still exists, but its power is no longer measured by how high it stacks on the coffee table.
