Your eyes are not deceiving you. These are, in fact, masked ICE agents dragging a legal U.S. resident out of her car while she waits in a pickup line outside an elementary school.

Cristóbal Balenciaga didn’t just design — he also cut, assembled, and sewed with his own hands.

Once again we are here in the dead of night, to debate and vote on Republicans’ bill that takes food and health care from those who need them to shower tax cuts on billionaires. I cast that moral choice in terms my Republican colleagues would understand.

Reflection doesn’t follow deadlines. It unfolds at its own pace. We’ve extended the Early Bird registration until 16 July — to give thought a little more room. Join a global conversation on fashion, silence, authorship, memory, and legacy.

In celebration of WWII VE Day, the New York Historical Museum is displaying one of the most famous American wartime garments—Claire McCardell’s “Pop-over.” The original dress is from my collection and I researched and reconstructed the mitt she’s holding. I’m thrilled!

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing. Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans. Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

Fun fact about fave movie Desk Set—Hepburn’s shiny dress was released as a mail order sewing pattern in the 50s. Designed by Hollywood costumer Charles LeMaire.

How about the House add campaign finance reform to the CR so Republicans and Democrats alike can stop being so scared about what a billionaire man-child thinks before they vote on anything around here

The Leicester Mercury newspaper predicts that 100 years from now, in 2024, every schoolchild will not be late to school because beds will automatically fling them across the room in the morning.
