Sarah Vander Newt recently sewed the final thread on the 2,500th jacket she made since founding her Denver-based clothing company, Vander Jackets. For the Aurora-based designer, each individually designed and sewn product is a work of art. The designer sources materials from surplus fabrics found in the metro area, upcycling excess inventory into functional, eye-catching pieces.

The ephemerality of digital magazine covers and the fleeting popularity of social media have us searching for real-life icons of our time, and Paul Cavaco (the former fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue and the longtime creative director of Allure magazine) and his daughter Kayli Cavaco-Leck (founder of Knockout Beauty) are hoping to ride that wave of nostalgia with a new podcast, set to premiere Thursday.

The chance to bring a new character to life in Star Wars Outlaws, set in a galaxy far, far away, was a dream come true for the team at Massive. But as Associate Art Director Malte Jönkers explained at the Malmö, Sweden studio, they first had to learn how to design a character that was memorable and unique, but also “Star Wars-esque.” Creating a character for the open-world adventure in a universe filled with unforgettable characters, from loveable heroes to complex villains to lovable droids, began with thinking about the type of story the team wanted to tell.

In the maze of modern fashion subcultures, bold new waves are popping up on the streets and screens alike. It’s an indie sleaze. Characterized by an unabashed embrace of the retro glamor, rebellious nonchalance, and unabashed edge of the 2000s, this trend is a provocative mix of grunge aesthetics and flamboyant decadence.

The indie trend promises to redefine what it means to be boldly stylish in the modern era, as influencers and designers alike capitalize…

Between July 12 and 14, Anant Ambani married Radhika Merchant. If he weren’t the son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and she weren’t the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon Viren Merchant, their wedding would have been as harmonious as any happy Indian wedding: a five-month-long Mumbai ceremony (the engagement ceremony, at which Rihanna performed, took place in March) was a gaudy, stomach-churning display of opulence that cost a reported $600 million. While the Ambanis were going through these ceremonies, the world was awash in images of some of the world’s richest people in attendance — A-listers from Bollywood and Hollywood,…
