Donald, alongside his brother, Si, was the soul of Condé Nast. They shared many enthusiasms but were different in spirit: Si retiring and reflective, Donald all outward-shining light. You reveled in Donald’s company, his energy and humor, and he was the person you wanted to see when you felt doubtful or weak. He was scrupulous about not interfering...

It’s a Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles, and I’m walking side by side with Betye Saar, the legendary Angeleno assemblage artist and central figure of the West Coast Black Arts movement. She’s wearing a tonal gray sweater and coordinating pants with flashes of pale blue cheetah print (a perennial favorite of Saar’s) on her shirt and scarf, her...

When planning his proposal to Poppy Thekdi, tech entrepreneur Ajay Mehta decided to get down on one knee where they first met. That initial date took place during the summer of 2020 while the world was in lockdown. “We’d spent the weeks prior exchanging long, unhurried messages—sending each other long essays about the state of the world, recommendations...

A few weeks ago, a pitch landed in my inbox about the footwear brand Reef. Founded in 1984 by two surf-loving Argentinian brothers, the San Diego-based company has built its name as a popular footwear choice among the beach bums of Southern California, growing its initial $4,000 investment to a $187.7 million valuation when VF Corporation acquired it...

Last summer, I visited one of the company’s experiential spaces, Vipp Garage, where a mid-century industrial building was transformed into a sultry Moroccan guesthouse. The takeover was conceived in collaboration with...

I probably wouldn’t be Summer House-literate at all if it weren’t for the noble intervention of my Vogue colleagues Irene Kim and Florence O’Connor, who dragged me into the light right around the time that the Ciara/Amanda/West imbroglio first went public. Now, though, I’ve watched all 10 (!) seasons, I’m deeply locked in, and I’m ready to seat...

Sometimes the coat isn’t a component of the outfit—it is the outfit. Yesterday, not even a spring day in Los Angeles could keep Kaia Gerber from living that truth.The model and actress dined out at famed Los Angeles hotspot Giorgio Baldi last night, where she opted for a spring-to-summer outerwear-forward look: a funnel neck, double-breasted trench coat from,...

Like many Black women who date white men, I could not help but draw parallels between my own experience and Ciara Miller’s.Three years ago, Miller, a beloved castmate on Bravo’s Summer House—and, for a time, the only Black person on the show—entered a relationship with new housemate West Wilson.
