Dark and mysterious? Not anymore—Dakota Johnson has ditched her deep brunette hair color for something brighter—and Vogue heard about it straight from the woman who completed the transformation.“The color is what I call a ‘dirty blonde,” says celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham. “It’s a soft, low-contrast blonde that blends cool, creamy tones with a subtle brunette undertone at the...

We were all freshmen, mostly, in the life-drawing class. First-year art majors. How curious, thinking about it now—that the art department hired other college students as models.

When I was in my early 20s, I had a brief period of total confidence in my body. In my teens, I had been thin to the point of scrawny and almost completely flat-chested. I was also short (five four) and therefore painfully non-leggy; my hips were, in my opinion, too wide, as were my shoulders. Then, at...

I was six the first time I was told to lose weight, eight when I learned to suck in my stomach, and 15 when I began to starve myself. Growing up, I believed success was found in the art of controlling and manipulating the body, and my particular one was seen as a problem. A grandparent would comment...

To date, Earle is the only...

Breastplates have dotted the battlefield since the 1300s, but it took until 1969 for them to appear on the runway. Yves Saint Laurent—who took inspiration from fine arts throughout his 40-year career—tapped sculptor Claude Lalanne to combine sculpture and fashion. In his fall 1969 couture collection, two models walked down the runway, moulds of their bodies worn on...

Back in March, I went to Charvet—a storied Parisian shop best known for its shirting and slippers—with the mission of getting a made-to-measure nightshirt. My sales associate and I spent well over an hour poring over bolts of fabric, discussing buttons, and debating which monogram was just right. After we were both quite satisfied with the order (I...
