May 05, 2020 Dressing over the course of the last few weeks has had an interesting effect on the way we see our wardrobes, specifically it has highlighted which pieces are the most versatile and hard-working, and which are not. Interestingly, the tank top has emerged as one of the more unlikely heroes of our WFH capsule, and if Instagram is anything to go by, we’re not the only ones who think so. While the power of a well-made basic is hardly breaking news, we’ve particularly enjoyed the streamlined aesthetic of the classic white racer-back tank, which has offered a sporty alternative to the boxy-fit tees that have proliferated over the last few years. This is a top that was made to be tucked into high-waisted trousers, floaty midi skirt and knitted joggers, and even layered under dresses and shirts. In other words, it’s a serious wardrobe workhorse. Casting off its previous low-key associations, in the confines of our homes the tank has been able to take on a more elevated role, and we’ve tried beautifying it with colourful prints, elegant jewellery and even the odd heeled mule. Of course, the idea of fancy-fying their humble vest top might not be appealing to everyone, but if you’re craving comfort with just a hint of polish, keep scrolling to see the fun tank top outfits we’re copying this May.

Anna Wintour’s Home Office Has It All: Beautiful Flowers, Funky Frames, and Every Single Issue of Vogue
May 05, 2020 at 12:23AM Roughly 12,500 people tuned into “A Moment With the Met,” Vogue‘s short-lived virtual YouTube event that celebrated the first Monday in May. After a history of the Costume Institute, Anna Wintour removed her signature dark sunglasses to address us. She talked about the “About Time” themed Met exhibit, set to open in October, A Common Thread (a video series launched with the CFDA as a platform where up-and-coming designers can talk about their struggles and shifting routines), and her well wishes for the world. “This is a time of grief and of hardship for millions, and the postponement of a party is nothing in comparison,” she said. Anna went on to ask viewers to donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, if they’re able. It does feel rather odd to see Anna Wintour on the first evening in May wearing a simpler victorian-inspired dress with ruffles and a marble print, rather than a glamorous rose-covered gown; perhaps something in jacquard, to match her daughter Bee (who always joins her on the red carpet). The sliver lining? We got a glimpse into Anna’s home office, which, as we now know, is lined with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf filled with what appears to be every single issue of American Vogue (presumably since she took the reigns at the magazine in 1988). Anna coordinated with her surroundings beautifully, of course, allowing the pops of color in the room – a brushstroke painted vase, a chic vintage desk, and some
The Only Thing Dreamier Than Florence Welch’s Dress During Her Virtual Met Performance Is Her Wallpaper
May 05, 2020 at 12:10AM Florence Welch was the star of the show during Vogue‘s virtual event A Moment With the Met, which streamed exclusively on YouTube. Since The Costume Institute’s spring 2020 Met Gala exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration” is postponed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the magazine honored the first Monday in May with a live streaming digital fashion event. Along with fundraising for the Met’s Costume Institute and the CFDA’s A Common Thread initiative, Vogue is encouraging viewers to make a donation if possible. After a message from Vogue‘s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Florence came on the screen to sing “You’ve Got the Love” in a beige silk gown that had a bow accent. The singer accessorized the long-sleeved dress with a bunch of gold rings and tied her hair up in an elegant braid crown. While she was singing, we also got a glimpse of Florence’s house and we couldn’t help but stare at the gorgeous wallpaper she was standing in front of. The dreamy wallpaper featured drawings of different types of trees, swans, and reindeer all next to a lake. It was the perfect backdrop to show off her angelic voice. Keep reading to get a closer look at Florence’s outfit – and interior – ahead.

Caitlin Moran on Adapting Her Novel, How to Build a Girl, Starring Beanie Feldstein
May 04, 2020 at 10:20PM These days, Caitlin Moran is all about positivity. It wasn’t always that way. As a teen, the British journalist/novelist got her break cutting down bands as a famously acerbic rock critic – “I became unbelievably vicious,” she admits. It’s an experience she’d turn into a semi-autobiographical best-seller, now a feature film starring Beanie Feldstein, Alfie Allen and Emma Thompson. Following How to Build a Girl’s premiere at last fall’s Toronto International Film Festival, FASHION sat down with Moran to talk about casting Beanie as her “rock dick” alter ego, adapting her own novel, and choosing positivity over cynicism. I’m not sure if you know, but Beanie Feldstein was on the cover of FASHION recently. Because she is the thing, isn’t she? I went to the London premiere of Booksmart, and the atmosphere when she walks into a room… She’s transcended really quickly. When did you know she was the right person for this? The minute they rang up. We started developing this around about the year 1753… Making a movie takes so long! I’m a journalist and I’m a writer, so I’m used to like, [snaps fingers]. And I didn’t realize when we first started adapting the [book] that it would be almost impossible to make. Because to cast someone who’s playing a big, working class 16-year-old girl who can play optimistic and cheerful, but is really funny, turns into this massive diva, goes completely Vader, but is also doing sex scenes that are funny,
