In 2006, I started taking Xanax and continued, more rather than less, for the next 17 years. The drug was first prescribed to me after I experienced a panic attack. I had thought that I was dying. My children were two and six years old. We were at home—my husband had gone for the day and the babysitter was late. I started sweating and had this urge to run, to get outside. I didn’t know what was wrong, but my heart felt weird and I didn’t want to die in front of my kids. So I stuffed them in a stroller and went down to the street—West 106th in Manhattan—hoping to intercept the sitter. There she was in the lobby. She took the children. I didn’t explain. On the street, the noises were loud, the light galactic. I think it was summer. I was walking but had no idea where I was going. Fear crawled over me like ants.

This look is all about emulating the shade—and shine—of the pomegranate seed, and it’s perfect for the summer months.

In the summer of revolving creative directorships, it seems that not even burgeoning labels are immune from the trend. Just two years after tech entrepreneur Nina Khosla launched Fforme with designer Paul Helbers as its creative director, today it was announced that the Dutch designer had parted ways with the label. But his exit will not add to the growing list of fashion houses currently hiring. Frances Howie, a designer who was the design director at Stella McCartney until 2021, has been named its new creative director and has already begun working on the next collection, which will be shown during New York Fashion Week in February of 2025.

Fame wasn’t the only reason all eyes were on Paul Mescal at the spring 2025 men’s shows; his tiny shorts had something to do with it too.
