Shein in Paris: has the fashion capital surrendered its soul?

The Walmartification of French fashion is now complete, said Sophie Coignard in Le Point (Paris). To widespread Parisian disgust, one of our most glamorous department stores, BHV, is now officially home to the Chinese online juggernaut Shein: it was in this landmark building that the ultra-fast-fashion company opened its first-ever bricks and mortar premises last week.Don’t look on this as “just another retail opening”, said James Tidmarsh in The Spectator. “It’s cultural surrender.” For more than a century, BHV has “embodied a certain Parisian ideal” of accessible luxury, craftsmanship and good taste. “Now it’s flogging throwaway polyester” stitched in exploitative Asian factories; tat which, until now, was only available on Shein’s website alongside 600,000 other cheap goods. “It is proo...

From Kyiv to Paris, Ukrainian designer Lilia Litkovska creates high fashion that is undeniably an art form

Lilia Litkovska is fascinated by volume and proportion. She likes long elegant lines, but gently cut and fitted in the right places. It’s obvious that she’s thinking in silhouettes. This impressive woman is the founder and designer of her eponymous brand, LITKOVSKA. When you look through the photographs of her work in this piece, I think you’ll understand why I believe that ‘precise’ is the perfect word to describe her brand aesthetic.“I love the oversized,” the designer/founder told me, “I start from oversized, and I love to do it. There is something about draping, something about draping the fabric. I love clothes. The feel of volume, and I love to create volume. There is a traditionally masculine association with a strong shoulder."“I love this masculine shape on a woman,” Litkovska con...

10 Transitional Outfit Ideas for Those Chilly and Illusive 50 Degree Days

It’s that time of the year when it’s 50 degrees outside, and getting dressed is a feat.Cozy sweaters, fun patterned pants, and unique jackets are to the rescue. There is this particularly challenging time of the year that always comes around and has me wondering: how do I dress today? That’s right, it’s 50 degrees out. When the seasons change, I’m stoked for the leaves turning various shades of orange and red and pumpkin lattes hitting my favorite cafe, but sometimes it takes a minute for my brain to get into cool-weather dressing. I’m thrown off my game and suddenly I’m having amnesia from the year before.  Getting into the mindset of 50-degree weather dressing can be a challenge on its own, but actually putting together an appropriate outfit is an entirely different beast. “I think...

Gio Reyna Snaps 601-Day Skid for USMNT in Emphatic Fashion

Gio Reyna needed to impress in his return to the U.S. men’s national team, and his first match back could not have started much better. Thrown into the starting lineup against Paraguay, the Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder found the back of the net just four minutes in, heading home a slick attacking cutback from Columbus Crew’s Max Arfsten to put the USMNT up 1–0. The goal marked Reyna’s first with the national team since the 2024 Concacaf Nations League final, where the U.S. defeated Mexico 2–0 under then head coach Gregg Berhalter. Not to mention, he overtook his father Claudio with his ninth career goal for the U.S.👏 GIO 👏#USMNT x @VW pic.twitter.com/Qd68avwiX4— U.S. Soccer Men's National Team (@USMNT) November 15, 2025At any level, it was Reyna’s first goal since Jan. 14, when he p...
