Why skinniness is intrinsically linked to the rich. “We are surrounded by so much food now, it is harder not to eat than to eat,” Dr Maxine Woolhouse, a senior lecturer in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University with expertise in social class and eating practices (what a specialty) told Dazed. “So many things push food upon us: marketing, social media, TV advertising, delivery apps, supermarket meal deals, cheap ultra-processed food which is designed to make us eat more.”
hired a menswear writer! And he happens to be one of my best friends/former downstairs neighbor, Louis Cheslaw. I can’t tell you about the many 1am conversations we’ve had on each other’s couches, but I can tell you that he’s one of the most brilliant writers and editors I’ve had the pleasure of befriending.

A recent board meeting in The Hamptons argued over the ideal egg sandwich time. The amount of drama surrounding The Springs General store over the past few years has been fascinating to watch. The quiet Hamptons neighborhood was upset that the new owner, Daniel Bennett (who also owns Mimi on Sullivan St. and Doubles in Amagansett), wanted to serve alcohol at the store.

What’s up with Walmart selling Khaite? One of my readers sent me this screenshot last night that shows Matches Fashion is now selling full-price items through Walmart to move as much product as possible before their liquidation begins. It’s such a brand perception mindfuck – sad and funny.
Ramps, a highly coveted wild allium, are selling for up to $40 a pound. Thanks to attention from celebrity chefs like Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray, ramps have morphed from regional oddity into a hot commodity. So why aren't there more Ramp farmers?
