Paris Day Four: The Return of the Waist

PARIS — In the era of the Ozempic body, the waist is making a comeback and corsetry, or abstractions of it, were front and centre on the fourth day of Paris Fashion Week.

Paris Day One: Subversive Saint Laurent

Karl Anthony-Towns Trolls Jalen Brunson with Photoshop After Knicks Media Day

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns shared photos from his team’s media day, and a picture of teammate Jalen Brunson seems a bit off. The 6’2″, 190-pound Brunson should obviously look smaller compared to the 6’7″, 240-pound OG Anunoby and the 7’0″, 248-pound Towns. However, he appears to have lost at least a foot of...

That season she debuted her first iconic persona, Lil’ Ellie Kim, an homage to the Grammy Award–winning rapper Lil’ Kim. While Ellie went viral in 2023, she got her start with the New York...
