Nods to the event’s dress code, JG Ballard’s 1962 short story “The Garden of Time,” came in all forms. Wisdom Kaye's Robert Wun suit included a corsage, burnt at the edges like the lapels of his overcoat and hat. Coleman Domingo similarly finished off his billowing Willy Chavarria suit with black-rimmed eyes and a drooping bunch of wistful white lilies. Barry Keoghan's Burberry suit came with a satin necktie, top hat and three watches.

There’s a change underway in fashion. Continued in New York, at Willy Chavarria, who set a family-size table of sartorial intention. And in Milan, was picked up by Francesco Risso at Marni, who boiled fashion down to its essence so it could begin again. Papering in white a cavernous warren of rooms under a railway track, so it resembled some sort of petri dish, Mr. Risso birthed a very chic primal scream. These would not be easy garments to wear, but they sure jolt you out of your torpor.

An old warehouse was bathed in a red light, and there were roses on every chair. Julia Fox, wearing a lavish white robe, Vermeer hat and not much else, chatted to Amanda Lepore and Sam Smith. Then a screen came down on a black velvet curtain and a short film started to play. Even if it’s just making clothes — as long as they aren’t just clothes. That has been the mantra for long enough, set to the tune of whispering cashmere.

“Hideous,” said Willy Chavarria, talking about the fashion business, celebrity entitlement, late-stage capitalism, his current state of mind. “It’s still men’s wear, honey,” he said. Hideous are the demands a best-selling pop star made before agreeing to attend Mr. Chavarria’s show on Friday and a lavish dinner party at Jean’s that will follow. Hideous are the industry trade groups that dole out awards to minority designers while withholding the financing necessary to build a sustainable long-term business. Then the mercurial Mr. Chavarria, 56, experienced a sudden mood shift.

CNN —Crowds of people accompanied the coffin of soccer player Jesus Lopez Ortiz in Guanacaste, northeastern Costa Rica, last week after his death following a crocodile attack. Lopez Ortiz was killed shortly after jumping into the crocodile-filled Cañas River in Guanacaste on July 29. The National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) said that the crocodile was later shot so that authorities could recover the body of the young man. According to Mendez, there are already communities promoting boat tours to watch crocodiles in several rivers in the area. Last year, a child in another province was fatally attacked by a wild crocodile.

I am tattooed with stories of my family and of Catholicism, which keep me grounded in every moment. Most important, we are both the communities that raised us and the communities that we have fostered. We cannot, however, separate our sense of self and its presentation from where we came from or where we are now. Fashion is perception, and perception comes from our experiences. As a storyteller using fashion as my medium, I define modern beauty as resistance, resilience and hope by incorporating my past and present into my designs.

☆ Willy Chavarria and Omar Apollo on Faith and Heartbreak

Three days after his fall 2023 runway show in February, while on his way to meet Omar Apollo at a photographer’s house in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, the 55-year-old fashion designer Willy Chavarria studied the 25-year-old musician’s Wikipedia page. What Chavarria lacked in detailed knowledge about Apollo’s career, he made up for with an immediate paternal tenderness. “And on all-Latino models,” Apollo says. And yet the pair saw eye to eye on more than just success. Some similarities were obvious: Both are gay and Mexican American, and both were born in small towns where dreams of artistic stardom seemed impossibly distant.

At least one video on TikTok had gained more than 4 million views by late Thursday afternoon. That police were called on a student at an HBCU, an institution that is intended to be a safe space for Black students, was not lost on some. It wasn't immediately clear, in either the TikTok video or the school's statement, what the student was doing that made her an urgent threat in need of prompt removal. After class was briefly delayed by a fire alarm, the student said the professor asked her about the essay. At some point, the discussion became heated, according to the student, who said she raised her voice after the professor allegedly raised hers.

For the first time, I considered the possibility of being a stay-at-home mom. There was nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home mom in general. Losing the ability to make money felt like sacrificing the last bit of my usefulness. As a stay-at-home mom, I had time to visit my psychiatrist and start weekly therapy while also spending time with my kids. The value I gained as a stay-at-home mom is so much greater than what I found when I limited myself to being a workhorse.
