The vintage fashion editorial “Roman Holiday”, featuring Claudia Schiffer—one of the most iconic supermodels of the 1990s—first appeared in the December 1994 issue of Vogue US. Set in Rome, Italy, the shoot captured the city’s essence with its rich historical backdrop and vibrant street life.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE since we've covered the Met Gala—2014, in fact—(here and here), and once again in 2018.

Whatever your preference, nothing is quite as chic as a silk scarf this season (or anytime, really).
A waifish figure and large, brown, doe-like eyes; a tiny, cinched in waist and sweet, elfin features; a willowy dancer’s body, slight but strong from years of ballet training—always graceful and ever ladylike—it is difficult to believe that this beautiful woman, both inside and out, would wait almost her entire life to find true love but—when she did find it, it was truly great . . .
ONE OF THE fashion world’s most beautiful and enduring platonic love stories was almost never to be.

The impossibly glamorous Festival de Cannes has just finished its 2016 edition, and we saw moments that will undoubtedly enter fashion history—cue Blake Lively’s style for the entire festival, Kristen Stewart’s rock-chic Chanel ensembles, or Amal Clooney’s princess moment in a cornflower yellow Atelier Versace dress. However, here at TIG, we love to reminisce on old Hollywood fashion icon...
