And Just Like That Season 3: Miranda’s Outfits Are Bad

5 days ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

I can excuse ugly, but I draw the line at boring. And Just Like That season 3 is upon us, and I fear Miranda Hobbes has been sentenced to the latter. If you’ve followed along on the bumpy ride that is the Sex and the City reboot, you know that Miranda’s styling has long been a sore subject. An icon once beloved for her no-nonsense attitude, androgynous edge and impeccable taste for tailoring has been, for two seasons, reduced to an insecure character with a watered-down wardrobe.
Fashion Art Toronto Spring 2025 Is Off to a Bold Start

1 week ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

To celebrate this milestone, the beloved yearly event teamed up with FASHION for its opening night. A large, airy atrium in Toronto’s East End is buzzing with a rather unlikely assemblage of attendees. Wearing structured corset dresses, exaggerated power shoulders and confections of gauzy lace, the guests in this space strike a stark contrast to the minimal high-rise setting. The reason for this delicious display of people-watching? It’s the opening night of Fashion Art Toronto’s Spring 2025 season.
The Skims Pierced Nipple Bra Signals the Loss of Personal Style

1 week ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

It seems we’re in the age of post-authenticity. I was aghast when I saw it. A promotional email in my inbox from Kim Kardashian’s brand Skims, advertising an abomination in underwear form. “THE ULTIMATE PIERCED NIPPLE BRA,” the subject line jeered. When clicked open, it touted a “super soft” fabric and “lightweight” feel, promising “an unforgettable statement” that mimicked the look of studded breasts. Some might see this as a unique—if unnecessary—adornment. But to me, it was a blatant attack.
The Best Women’s Swimsuits of 2025

1 week ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

The season of sun-drenched vacations, poolside lounging, and spontaneous beach getaways is fast approaching, which means it’s time to find that perfect swimsuit that will keep you feeling and looking your best all season long. But let’s be real, finding your dream swimsuit is no easy feat—it has to be comfortable yet stylish, offer the right amount of support and be flattering yet resilient to sand, saltwater, and chlorine.
9 Chic Tube Top Picks to Shop This Summer

1 week ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

Strapless. Simple. Susceptible to reinvention. These age-old, no-frills garments are the key to an inspired summer style. What does a tube top say about a person? Each time Carrie Bradshaw wore one, whether paired with a newsboy cap or dangerously low-slung trousers, it seamlessly complemented her kooky charm. When seen on Clean Girl figures like Matilda Djerf, it fits into a muted and minimalist aesthetic.
A Glossary of It Bags

2 weeks ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

Recently, a photo of Charli xcx flooded fashion corners of the internet for reasons you might not expect. In it, the great Brat dame stands texting nonchalantly, a large black bag slung around her shoulder. To the trained eye, this is not just any leather tote. It’s the Coach Brooklyn bag: a piece that lives on in niche virality, perpetuated through TikTok wishlists and quiet luxury mood-boards. It’s a digital-era icon—and a marker of in-the-know coolness.
How to Style Short Hair: The Truth About Having a Bob

2 weeks ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

Are you brave enough for a bob? It’s a question I wish I had considered recently before severing off several inches. Throughout my adult life, I’ve almost always had a short bob haircut—oscillating between a grown-out shag to a lengthy lob; my hair rarely reaching past my shoulders. I considered myself an expert in how to style short hair until a few months ago, when a bob nearly ruined my life.
Is the Latex Dress a Recession Indicator?

2 weeks ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

If you’ve spent any substantial amount of time on the internet recently (which, I’m sorry), you’ve likely heard rumblings about a recession indicator. Depending on who you ask, this now-viral phenomenon—a niche social happening that points to an economic slump—can be any myriad of things. Ed Sheeran’s comeback. Peplum tops. Tinned fish. Simply put, it’s a trend that has been plucked from its early-2010s grave and reinstated in 2025 relevancy.
Cannes Film Festival Dress Code: These Stars Broke The Rules

3 weeks ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

The fashion world was thrown into crisis this week when, one day before the Cannes Film Festival kicked off, a rather stringent dress code was imposed. Hours before opening night, the international festival—which reliably draws some of the biggest red carpet moments of the year—released a statement banning voluminous frocks that “hinder the proper flow of traffic” and, citing “decency reasons,” naked dresses. It was serious: Attendees were threatened with denial of entry if they did not obey.
Alessia Cara is FASHION’s Summer 2025 Cover Star

3 weeks ago | fashionmagazine.com | Natalie Michie

A rogue speck of glitter has travelled into Alessia Cara’s eye, and it’s causing an unavoidable disturbance. “Oh my God, sorry,” she says sweetly, pausing our conversation to remove the debris lingering in her lash line. She approaches the dressing-room mirror to get a better look, apologizing (seven times in two minutes) for the interruption—as if her burning cornea were a saboteur of everyone’s schedule.
