New Style Idea

If there’s one show that has united millions of people during the pandemic, it’s Netflix ’s “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.” The wildly popular docu-series profiles the bizarre world of America’s big cat owners through the rivalry of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. Aside from owning tigers, lions and various other big felines, the characters of Tiger King each have a radical style of their own. View this post on Instagram Anyone want to love tigers with me? This sucks being bored n alone. #tigers #gaysingles #gay #california A post shared by Joe Exotic (@joe_exotic) on Oct 26, 2017 at 4:48am PDT Joe Exotic is a mullet-rocking free-loving daredevil who isn’t afraid to mix and match sequins with animal prints and leather. His style (and antics) have set everyone, including a handful of celebrities, abuzz on Twitter and Instagram. (Earlier this week, his pink sequin shirt sold for $4,200 on Ebay.) Then there’s Carole Baskin, the self-declar

In the current economic state, consumers more than ever are focusing on budgeting and balancing their spending. Retail technology like Afterpay’s “Buy Now, Pay Later” service is rising to prominence as it allows customers to pay for purchases in segments over four interest-free installments. In fact, the Australian company’s share price gained 20% in the past year, as reported by Simply Wall St. In its 2020 Global Fashion and Beauty Report that came out this week, Afterpay shared some of the growing trends among its customers, gathered from February until the beginning of April. Its results capture the changing consumer behavior amid the coronavirus pandemic toward a casual lifestyle. The report listed out the top 10 hottest brands and retailers — including a few unexpected footwear and fashion contenders. Sneaker resale site GOAT came in at No. 3, followed by online retailer Revolve in fourth place. Steve Madden made the list at spot No. 7, while Levi’s came in eighth place and Ma

Pivoting business plans and the lost collections of fall ’20 are essential topics of conversation for any of the shoe designers I’ve spoken with in the past few weeks. But the single most mentioned theme I’ve heard from them? That they’re dreaming. The world is a scary place right now, we all know. But that’s all the more reason for a bit of fantasy. History has shown that in times of crisis (wars, depressions, pandemics), artists often produce their most vivid works. The art and fashion of the 1930s was notoriously whimsical and escapist — see the imaginative works of Picasso and other Modernist artists or anything from the Surrealist movement of the time. It was also in the ’30s that Elsa Schiaparelli came to dominate fashion with her avant-garde creations. The Italian designer frequently collaborated with the likes of Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau and dressed screen stars like Mae West (undoubtedly one of the most imaginative actresses of all time when it came to fashion). Mae

It’s a well known fact that establishing a new habit or routine can be a big challenge. Upending old habits and swapping them out for new ones doesn’t come naturally, or right away, as many New Year’s resolution makers often see. Now apply that feeling to the millions of people around the world who are now practicing social distancing and quarantine. It’s utterly disorienting — and that’s not even counting the hundreds of thousands of people who are actually getting sick. I’ve tried my own hand at establishing a productive new routine while working from home. Some habits — like getting ready for the work day and doing breathing exercises while I walk my dog outside — have stuck. Others…have not. Without a commute time into the office, I thought that I would instantly be able to adopt a morning workout routine before starting my day. I imagined myself walking downstairs in my athletic clothes, coffee in hand, ready to unroll my yoga mat and grab a set of weights. After a solid 45-60

To show what real-life fashion looks like during the coronavirus pandemic’s era of social distancing and self-quarantine, FN is taking a look inward — at what its own editors are wearing. In a new series, Work From Home Style Diary, FN Style Director Shannon Adducci chronicles her own fashion choices while she is able to work remotely. I’m starting to get used to this. New York’s stay-at-home mandates for nonessential workers have only been in effect since last week, but I have been in self-quarantine for 21 days now. When I landed at New York’s JFK Airport on March 3 after spending time in Italy and France for Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, I took an Uber straight home to my apartment in Brooklyn, locked the door and stayed there for a week. I took the situation seriously, working from home, ordering groceries on Amazon, doing video workouts from my yoga mat and only leaving the apartment to go on a few runs either early in the morning or late at night, when I knew there wouldn’t
