Our homes reveal stories. They are more than backdrops, they are living expressions of identity. In the worlds of Chanel, Iris Apfel, Giorgio Armani and Reem Acra, interiors double as design statements, showing us not only what they wore but who they are behind the scenes. Here we step into their personal worlds' homes that whisper lessons on elegance, creativity and the power of atmosphere.

Beneath the golden sun of the French Riviera, a red carpet unfurls along the steps of the Palais des Festivals. Cameras flash. Gowns sweep the floor. And for a few days each spring, Cannes becomes something more than a film festival. It becomes a global stage where cinema meets fashion in its most spectacular form.

In a time when fashion was growing louder, Veronique Branquinho stayed still. While others chased spectacle, she built something quieter, something with restraint, atmosphere, and meaning. Before quiet luxury became a marketing trend, before labels like The Row and Lemaire turned understatement into aspiration, Branquinho had already carved out a space where minimalism spoke volumes and melancholy became material.

Why is talking about periods still considered taboo? Every month, millions of women and people across the gender spectrum experience menstruation. It’s a fundamental part of reproductive health, preparing the body for the possibility of pregnancy. Yet for generations, we've been shamed into silence.

When you think of Gossip Girl, it’s hard not to picture Blair’s signature headband or Serena’s yellow Ralph Lauren gown at her mother’s wedding to Bart Bass. Behind these iconic looks are the creative minds who shape the characters we obsess over. Not just with lines of dialogue, but with every fabric, stitch, and accessory.

In the world of style-driven television, costume designers are the unsung heroes. They don’t merely dress the cast, they define the mood of a scene, transport us to another era, and set the tone for the entire show. Here’s a look at the visionaries who’ve turned fictional characters into modern style icons.
