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.

There is a certain type of person for whom Gracie Abrams has it all: a friendship with Taylor Swift, a sensible cardigan, and a reported dalliance with Paul Mescal. The 24-year-old musician was last month spotted sharing small plates with the Irish man at east London’s Brat restaurant. He at one point grazed her cheek with the back of his hand, and so people went online and started posting things like: “Me when I realize I’m not an indie singer songwriter so Paul Mescal won’t give me a chance,” in reference to his erstwhile relationship with Phoebe Bridgers, and, “If I had a nickel for every time Paul Mescal dated an American singer who opened for Taylor Swift, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice,” also in reference to his relationship with Bridgers.

Ah, cats. Those mysterious, aloof beings that grace our homes with their presence. We feed them, clean their litter, and sometimes, if we’re lucky, they let us pet them. But how do we know if our feline friends actually adore us?

One of the worst things about it is the loneliness. It was 2018, and I was 26 years old at the time. For years, doctors had been trying to get to the bottom of some breathing issues I had. I’d already been administered every allergy test available, and I underwent a sinus surgery to improve airflow through my nasal passage. But still, I was prone to getting bronchitis, having shortness of breath, and, even with daily physical exercise, I had the lung capacity of someone double my age. My primary doctor finally decided to set me up for a chest X-ray.

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.

Thanks to their “back to school” associations, loafers were once considered a winter shoe that you revisited in September, when knitwear comes out of hibernation. However, in recent years they have become a year-round classic, that look just as good with a white sundress or pair of shorts. The spring 2024 collections were awash with loafers, including creative director Sabato de Sarno’s debut at Gucci which had 25 platformed loafers in the line-up.
