Down in Old Soho: S Magazine Challenges Androgeny
Until its latest issue, I’d never heard of S Magazine. A few days ago, however, Lindsay alerted me to a photoshoot by Rafael Stahelin, featured in S Magazine’s latest issue, that presses the bounds of androgynous male models to the next level, garbing them in gothic makeup and a combination of men’s and women’s fashions.

Giselle Photoshopped: H&M is Modest for Dubai
Some people think it’s strange that recent ads for a new H&M campaign featuring Giselle have been Photoshopped. They don’t mind that Giselle’s hair has been smoothed, her skin is free of blemishes or that any sign of pores or dark circles under her eyes have been removed. They’re shocked that, for their campaign in [...]
Wing Tips: Why I’d Rather Buy Online
People don’t understand how I can buy clothing online. How does one determine how something will fit, or feel, or look if they haven’t tried it on in a poorly-lit dressing room with three of their closest friends ready to scrutinize it as they prance around barefoot? I find buying clothing online easier, actually, than [...]
Birds of a Feather: Look, Know
We were intrigued by the girls who run the impressive outfit blog, Look, Know, when our good friend sent us a link to an outfit photo and our jaws dropped. Not only are these girls striking, but their style is 100% unique, hand-crafted, and nearly all of it is second hand. Being completely inept at [...]
Careless: I’m Your Man
There is something vindicating about stealing a man’s clothing – regardless of the surrounding circumstances. Making a grand departure from the ever-confined world of “fitted for your shape” is freeing. There are no strange contour seams that can make you feel obligated to mold yourself correctly, any requirement of being “small” is diminished, and definition [...]
Wing Tips: Your First Time…at the Tailor
Jennifer was shocked to hear that many of our readers haven’t been to the tailor. Not only that, but most are nervous about going: what will they do? What do they need? How do I know I’m getting the right work done? With a little push from Elle (who hasn’t been to a tailor either) [...]
Wing Tips: Finding a Tailor
Jennifer was shocked to hear that many of our readers haven’t been to the tailor. Not only that, but most are nervous about going: what will they do? What do they need? How do I know I’m getting the right work done? With a little push from Elle (who hasn’t been to a tailor either) [...]
Fashion Mythbusting: “But I’m SUPPOSED to like it!”
Today, on my way home from picking up bananas and a latte (don’t ask me about the health-related inequalities there), I saw a woman cross my Chicago street wearing slightly sheened polyester leggings (black, but looked a touch blue because of the workout-worthy sheen), a North Face vest, and a long sleeve t-shirt with patent [...]
Reader Question: The In-Between-y Blues
I have them. Do you? The blues that come when you realize that you’re not big enough to fit into plus size, but not small enough to fit/enjoy regular sizes. I received a question from a reader over at Broke & Beautiful that I thought I’d answer over here. Hello, I have been reading your [...]
