Some people were born into entrepreneurship, others planned for it. Then, there’s Liya Kebede who considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” For most international supermodels, you can almost predict their trajectory—supermodel status, then brand ambassador, then beauty brand or clothing line will follow suit. But Kebede’s path wasn’t that clear cut. When she refers to herself
Over the phone, Vanessa is telling me about her upcoming Sayulita, Mexico vacation. There’d be a house with a pool, another house “in the hills,” a bunch of people, and long, lazy days spent drinking and hanging out.

While Chanel N°5 celebrates its centennial this year, many would argue the scent is as resonant today as it was in 1921. In 2019, an item infused with its fragrance—a perfume, shower gel, or soap—was purchased in America every minute, either in person or online. So at a time when beauty trends come and go
What daughter hasn’t raided her mother’s closet at some point? Clomping around the house in a pair of too-big high heels is practically a sartorial rite of passage. But what if said mother happens to be the creative director of a major European fashion house? “I always felt she was drawn to it, but she
Once, in the span of a single conversation, a friend nearly two decades older than I am and I realized we were both running out of time. I clearly was not going to have my life “figured out” by age 25 or 30 or whatever the appropriate marker is. While she was grappling with the

Fact: having a cyst on your ovary isn’t necessarily cause for alarm. That’s because there are many different types of ovarian cysts, some of which are considered harmless and don’t even come along with symptoms.

Imagine walking into a crowded bar. A crowded bar full of unmasked people, talking and laughing and breathing and spewing aerosol particles into the air without the threat of an airborne virus looming over the room.

One of our most anticipated shows of the summer is AMC’s Kevin Can F**K Himself, a whip-smart black comedy which upends the “sitcom wife” trope we all know and hate. You know her when you see her—the easygoing, patient, incongruously gorgeous housewife whose sole personality trait is absolute devotion to the sitcom’s schlubby male hero.
