We Need Teen Magazines Again and Not Just for Nostalgia
This week, I was scrolling through Instagram, as usual, when I saw the same two photos of Oke Intunu and Emily Zirimis, taken at different times. They had shared a picture of their IDs at Condé Nast, accompanied by a poignant caption: The end of an era, we’ll miss you Teen Vogue. Not knowing what had happened, I started digging.

Anthony Vaccarello: Sleek, Sexy Tailoring and the Reinvention of Saint Laurent
His fashion is not a homage to Yves Saint Laurent but a thoughtful redefinition of the legendary designer’s legacy. Anthony Vaccarello has forged a path that respects tradition and is daringly contemporary. At the core of his vision lies a delicate balance between masculinity and femininity, discipline and seduction, structured tailoring, and effortless sensuality.

Elegant finishes, voluminous fabrics, and a nuanced palette of neutral tones interspersed with bold blocks of color bring life to even the dullest days and evenings. In an era dominated by fast-moving trends, streetwear influence, and a growing emphasis on comfort, Vaccarello and the Belgian-Italian design duo behind the house have consistently pursued a different path: confidence as luxury, expressed through seductive and uncompromising elegance. This distinct aesthetic has defined Anthony Vaccarello’s tenure as the Creative Director of Saint Laurent since 2016.

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.
Through the crack of the door, the light of a massive disco ball glimmers. The air is filled with a mix of cigarette smoke, floral perfume, and champagne. The doors swing open, and Bianca Jagger rides a white horse across the dance floor, draped in satin, while Andy Warhol watches with a smile. This was no ordinary club; this was Studio 54.
