The ranks here at FASHION are not filled with men. Shocking, right? But there are one or two (there are actually, literally, two). Naturally, when a question about male/female dynamics arises it’s only fair that one of them stand in for the members of his gender and provide some insight. Our last topic of conversation […]

Is it the early 2000s? Because JLo’s back with another feel-good rom-com! The film, titled Second Act, is about a street-smart 40-year-old woman working a dead-end job at a big-box store, who fakes her way to a sweet corporate gig. Like, corner office in a fancy New York highrise-sweet. Think Working Girl meets Maid in […]

For an industry that has become so dependent on computers to generate its images, you’d think Hollywood wouldn’t dislike technology so much. But for Tinseltown bigwigs, it’s a convenient scapegoat for failing box-office returns. They can criticize websites like Rotten Tomatoes for sabotaging a film’s chances when it assigns the flick a binary Fresh/Not Fresh […]

Woody Allen, Casey Affleck, Roman Polanski, Terrence Howard, Chris Brown.

The thin-skinned once and future reality-TV star wandering around the White House has hijacked 2017. An endless stream of controversial policies and obnoxious remarks directed at women, immigrants, Muslims, Mexicans, LGBTQ people and countless others has triggered a concerted anti-Trump creative resistance. In times like these, some escapist entertainment would totally be jus­tified, but if […]

We’re going to say it. 2017 is Lady Gaga’s year. After slaying the Victoria’s Secret Angel’s show, defying gravity at the Super Bowl and then blowing our minds at Coachella (while dropping a new single btw), calling Lady Gaga a superstar is probably the understatement of the year. You would think after all that, the […]

It took little convincing to get Léa Seydoux on board to shoot her latest film It’s Only the End of the World. One could easily think that her response was a “me too” one, as the crème de la crème of French cinema were also cast: Marion Cotillard, Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel and Gaspard Ulliel. […]

For most people born in North America or Europe, the name Madame Bovary brings connotations of tragedy, glamour and excess—themes that dominate Flaubert’s novel of the same name. In parts of Asia, however, the Bovary name has a darker meaning altogether. For more than 100 years, it has been used to shame Chinese women who […]
