Supermodel Behati Prinsloo Opens Up About Suffering from Postpartum Depression

Image
"Being a mom has changed me in many ways," says Behati Prinsloo, who has two daughters—Gio Grace, 1 month, and Dusty Rose, 2—with husband Adam Levine. Opening up about the multitude of ways that having children has transformed her life, the 31-year-old supermodel is pulling back the curtains on her battle with postpartum depression in a new essay. "I had moments of postpartum [depression] after our first baby that I felt like [were] coming through," she writes of struggling with the severe form of clinical depression. Brought on by childbirth and characterized by anxiety, sadness, mood swings, or feeling overwhelmed, PPD affects 1 in 10 moms and the FDA recently approved the first drug designed specifically to treat it. Prinsloo goes on to credit Levine for being "incredibly supportive" and helping her get through the trying period of her life. And while Prinsloo clarifies that she didn't suffer from an extreme case of PPD, she underlines the debi...

Is Bella Hadid Preparing for the Apocalypse?

Image
Bella Hadid looks like she’s ready to embark on a really chic hike—or like she raided the Net-a-Porter warehouses in preparation for an oncoming apocalypse. Well, it looks like Hadid is bracing for something, thanks to her utilitarian vest-harness. Last night in London, the model attended the Dior Issue launch party wearing an all-black look that included a knit sweater from the Pre-Fall 2019 men’s collection with high-waisted trousers, her signature square-toe boots, a tiny shoulder bag, and Matrix-style square sunglasses. Hadid wore the vest, which came with a mesh overlay and a hefty buckle on top of the sweater, as if she was framing the Dior logo. Hadid has ventured into the military-inspired style trend before. Just this January at a Chrome Hearts event in New York, the model wore a neon yellow multi-pocketed vest from Virgil Abloh’s first Louis Vuitton men’s collection with a skirt. As for this current monochrome look? It’s a stealthier, sleeker version of the tactical harne...

These Alt-Models Are Breaking All the Festival Style Stereotypes

Image
After two full weekends of Coachella street style galleries and Instagram photoshoots filling up every fashion lover’s Explore page, a sign has emerged: that the festival era occupied exclusively by Victoria’s Secret models and long-limbed influencers in chokers, flower crowns, and fringe is on its way out. Onstage, an exciting crop of artists chose clothing that broke the status quo. Maggie Rogers wore simple white tank tops and jeans, Rosalìa didn’t shy away from latex, and Dev Hynes cemented his reputation as a style icon in patchwork pants and a leather beret. Meanwhile, out on the field, models like Slick Woods, Barbie Ferreira, and Salem Mitchell—all of whom have been breaking barriers with their commitment to authenticity—brought their own irreverent spirit to play. Notably, their surprisingly casual approach to Coachella style translated to something far less contrived than the “Desert Valley best” perfected by models before them. Barbie Ferreira, Bria Vinaite, and Slick W...

Bella Hadid’s New Carry-On Luggage Is Next Level

Image
Today’s most stylish celebrities—Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian West, Bella Hadid, and the like—treat each new trip to the airport as an opportunity to get dressed. Don’t expect to see these frequent flyers slip on cozy sweats for a long-haul flight, instead, they’re checking in decked out in the latest designer wares. And it makes sense: with the paparazzi constantly at their heels, it’s a strategic fashion move that ensures every shot is a flattering one. Yesterday, Hadid took that idea to the next level. But it wasn’t her tasteful athleisure that was the star of the show—rather, it was her statement luggage. The model carted around two ultimate travel companions: customized luxury carry-ons, both monogrammed with her first name. On her way to the airport in New York, she rolled out a matte black four-wheeler, by Off-White x Rimowa, on top of which was resting a Christian Dior tote large enough it fit just about every in-flight must-have you can imagine. (In it, perhaps, is St...

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go: The Best Looks to Wear at Home

Image
The new fashion frontier is actually quite close to home. This past year, the selection of almost too-chic-to-sleep-in pajamas (we’re looking at you, For Restless Sleepers) and indoors-only goodies populated as quickly as the market of CBD-infused edibles. And it didn’t stop there: We also saw an influx of fashion retailers and designers make an entrée into the world of home decor. Consider Moda Operandi, MatchesFashion, and Yoox, which recently launched interior design sections on their websites, while Richard Quinn, Emilia Wickstead, and The Elder Statesman introduced their own home goods collections. What does it all mean? Here’s our take: When you finally get home and are shimmying out of your day clothes, you should slip into something equally exciting. Starting from the ground up, Roger Vivier's metallic slides are perfectly suited for outdoors and in, while La Costa Del Algodón makes divine robes that could double as gala-apropos gowns in a pinch. Don’t forget the ambia...

In Melbourne, Australian Vogue and the Australian Fashion Council Celebrate Local Talent

Image
Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria is home to incredible works of art, from Monet paintings and Rodin sculptures to masterworks by Australian artists like Henry Burn and Lina Bryans. Yesterday, these masterpieces were accompanied by masterworks of fashion. Australian Vogue and the Australian Fashion Council brought together 11 young designers from Australia and New Zealand to showcase their latest designs alongside the museum’s collection: Nagnata, Maggie Marilyn, Albus Lumen, Lyn-Al Young, Acler, the Replica Project by Amanda Nichols, Chris Ran Lin, Ex Infinitas, Blair Archibald, Song for the Mute, and Templa. The designers featured work in both womenswear and menswear, representing a cross-section of talent. Some, like Maggie Marilyn, mix sustainable practices with a grandiose sense of flou, while others, like Albus Lumen designer Marina Afonina, work to create luxurious, minimalist pieces well-suited to a Mediterranean holiday. Each designer displayed two looks on mannequ...

The Argentinian Artist Whose Colorful Closet and Music Are Inspired by Postmodern Furniture

Image
When I ask Argentinian-born, Portland-based artist Pilar Zeta to describe her work, she struggles to find the words. She throws around “colorful,” “retro-futuristic,” and “otherworldly,” which are all appropriate, before settling on a description that represents her virtual designs best: “It’s like a parallel universe!” Zeta’s honed in on this distinct visual language—inspired by her interests in Egypt, magic, and metaphysics—in various forms over the years. She’s designed album artwork for bands like Coldplay, she’s provided live visuals for Katy Perry on tour, and she even had a brief stint as a clothing designer with her brand, Holographic Universe, which was inspired by neoclassical sculptures and time travel. Even her home, which she moved into last year with her partner, prolific producer Jimmy Edgar, is an extension of her surreal, bold designs: Every colorful piece of postmodern furniture feels as carefully placed as the objects that float in her almost 3-D virtual landsca...
