Here are three ways to make sure your professional style is fashion-forward this fall. Brands like Bottega Veneta and Miu Miu (pictured above) embody the San Francisco elite aesthetic.

You can shop for a warm-up jacket that looks similar to one Google might issue to employees, "but instead of Google, it says Miu Miu."

But, Banks said, “I just kept putting pressure on them.” With the help of an advocate, Banks asked authorities to issue an Ebony Alert, California’s new notification system to inform the public about missing Black youths. Two hours after issuing the Ebony Alert, officers pinged the teen’s phone, allowing them to geolocate the device. She said she has helped a dozen families, including Banks’, demand an Ebony Alert for their missing children. Similar to an Amber Alert, Ebony Alerts are permitted to be displayed on highway signs and billboards. Because officers determine whether to issue the alert, Lee said the cases of missing Black youth are often not met with the same level of urgency.
