FASHION MONTH used to be a time we eagerly featured the pieces we loved most from our favorite shows. But that tradition waned in recent years, perhaps since the start of the pandemic. However, Simone Rocha and Jean Paul Gaultier's recent collaboration at Couture Fashion Week was a reminder of what we had been missing.
AS THE Christmas season is upon us, we find ourselves revisiting the perennial debate over holiday decor: should one choose multicolored or white lights to adorn the tree and home?

IT WAS THE champagne coupes tied in lengths of black ribbon (below) that first caught our eye while searching Pinterest for table setting inspiration for the holidays. For interest, we thought we'd provide a brief history of the ribbon bow to go along with these beautiful images of tabletop inspiration for your upcoming holiday soirées or any dinner party really.
YOU’RE probably well-aware by now that AI is taking over the internet (and real life) and that it is becoming more and more difficult to believe your own eyes.
EARLY AUTUMN is one of those tricky times when the weather is still quite unpredictable.
