Lii Fall 2026: The Alien ‘Under the Skin’
A late addition to the CFDA calendar, Zane Li was a welcome surprise, especially after his spring runway debut proved he could potentially join a new vanguard of designers — Henry Zankov and Colleen Allen among them — pushing American fashion forward.

Read MoreAltuzarra Fall 2026: Here for the Drama
Many designers across New York Fashion Week have been exploring the idea of reworking the mundane to fit the modern woman’s wardrobe by putting their own spin on it with personality-driven twists, ’90s nods and more.

Read MoreNorma Kamali Fall 2026: Something for Everyone
Norma Kamali’s business sits right in the middle of the fashion spectrum — they’re styles that aren’t luxury priced, but certainly don’t sit within the lower “trend prices,” either.

Read More“Love Story” Is a Forgettable Elegy for Gen X
Schlossberg was not by any means alone in shading the Murphy show while it was in production. C.B.K., as she is called, is the love object of a posthumous legion of admirers. They are more than admirers, though. They are custodians of the myth. Bessette refused the profile at Vogue or Harper’s; the custodians do…
Read MoreSergio Hudson Fall 2026: Slinky, Sensual, Special
If Sergio Hudson‘s fashion shows usually resemble a party, fall 2026 felt more like a boudoir.

Read MoreLosing Faith in Atheism
If I was still in search of beliefs, many atheists would object, I hadn’t really gotten over my religious upbringing. A good atheist deals not in faith but in facts, not in belief but in knowledge. Yet I could find no obvious factual, knowledge-based answer to the question that was most pressing to me: How…

Read MoreWhodunnit: The Upstate Murder-Mystery Weekend
Cupid gets his main-character moment this weekend. We asked New Yorker staffers to help build a playlist befitting his romantic mission. For a classic piece of nineties Brit pop, Oasis’s “Slide Away” is basically an absurdly romantic ballad of plain devotion and yearning—which “Wuthering Heights” has established as the emotions of the season.
