EDITOR’S LETTER

If you could make anything in the world, what would it be? The perfect button-up shirt? A one-of-a-kind fragrance? A Grammy Award-nominated album? Or would it be…a brand-new jawline? That last one is a curveball, sure, but directly relates to the art of one’s craft—and how it can be used—which is the basis for this year’s Craftsmanship Issue. It’s a topic that plays out in many of the stories within the following pages—from fashion designers who specialize in making one item really, really well (Best in Class, pg. 28) to the humble hairbrush’s beautifully crafted comeback (The Hairbrush Renaissance Is Here, pg. 34). We also celebrate creatives like multi-hyphenate Michelle Zauner (aka Japanese Breakfast; The Melancholic Sound of Success, pg. 44), singer Tinashe (Tinashe in Bloom, pg. 66), and new-to-the-scene…

EDITOR’S LETTER

LORENA O’NEIL Writer “The Moms on a Mission to Save ‘Frozen Children’,” page 96 “As annoying as toddlers are when they persistently ask you, ‘But, why? Why? Why?’—we should learn from them. Curiosity helps us understand others, and thus, our world.” CLAIRE ROTHSTEIN Photographer “Salma Runs the Show,” page 56 “I’m often inspired by places. I can be in or see a space and visualize the person in it and their world. If I was to say who inspired me photography-wise, it would predominantly be Helmut Newton and Chris von Wangenheim.” SADIE BELL Senior Culture Editor “The Melancholic Sound of Success,” page 44; “Aging in the Spotlight,” page 52 “I started writing about pop culture because of how much I’m moved by art, and how much I need to get that on the page.…

HELEN J. SHEN, ACTOR Baggu Crescent Bag, $52 This is my emotional-support bag that just happens to also comfortably fit my 40-oz water bottle and all my theater essentials. It’s so durable and a complete staple for my fast-paced lifestyle. I think I need every color now. KENNEDY RYAN, AUTHOR Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, $255 for 3.9oz The skin around my eyes looks brighter when I use this product consistently, and I notice it reduces fine lines. I keep it stocked, and even when I rotate cleansers, it stays in my line-up. CASSANDRA GREY, FOUNDER OF VIOLET GREY Rimowa Travel Vanity Case, $1,940 My expensive-but-worth-it splurge is the Rimowa Vanity Case. Who doesn’t want a train case that looks like a coveted art object on your…

When it comes to nail trends, there’s been a pattern: butter-yellow, blueberry-milk, glazed-donut. The most in-demand polish colors seemingly take a cue from our grocery lists. This spring, shades that sound good enough to eat are still on the manicure menu. Only now, it’s all about juicy, glossy, fruit-inspired nails. A swipe of chocolate is optional—but highly recommended. CHOCOLATE MOUSSE ORANGE CRUSH STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BLACK RASPBERRY…

Modern fashion is a business built on three words: more, next, now. Decades ago, designers like Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo got away with spending years refining their signature purses or heels before growing into head-to-toe looks. These days, brands that start small-batch may stay that way for a decade, tops. Between the rising costs of creating goods by hand and shoppers’ social-media-inspired pull to wear a different outfit every day, specialists are now forced to become generalists. The quest to craft an end-all, be-all white T-shirt ends in a full suite of basics—plus coats, skirts, and tote bags. Nap dresses now come with sister matching sets and accessories for all waking hours. A former bag-only label launched with the motto “fewer, better” now makes apparel, outerwear, and travel items…

THE HAIRBRUSH RENAISSANCE IS HERE

Styling your hair can often resemble a visit to NASA rather than a self-care ritual. Blowdryers boast supersonic engineering while flat irons feature trademarked heat-protectant technology. Flashy chrome accents and a range of customizable attachments have elevated the curling, straightening, and smoothing processes to the pinnacle of high-tech innovation. Yet the hairbrush, with its straightforward facility—and lack of power cords—is proving to be the year’s most in-demand hair accessory, an elegant reminder of the industry’s return to “slow beauty,” and push towards more conscious consumerism. “I love innovation, and all these tools and gadgets are so fun, but there’s something about the simple foundational things that change the way we feel,” says Dianna Cohen, founder of the haircare company Crown Affair. Brushes have been a staple of human grooming for…

THE HAIRBRUSH RENAISSANCE IS HERE

It was a regular Tuesday in August 2023 when Siena Gagliano made a split-second decision to change the shape of her jaw. A viral before-and-after video documenting an aesthetic treatment that took an influencer’s face from boxy and bulked-out to slim and heart-shaped had flashed across her screen. Forty-eight hours and $600 later, Gagliano and her numbed-up face sat in a medspa leather recliner, patiently awaiting the same procedure. She didn’t view the neurotoxin injections she was about to receive in her jaw muscle (the masseter muscle, in official terms) as a Super Big Deal. Though none of the five available neurotoxins on the U.S. market—Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Dysport—are currently FDA-approved for use on the jaw, the 25-year-old writer had “heard so many good things” about the off-label…

WHAT WOULD YOU PAY TO SMELL LIKE ONE IN EIGHT BILLION?

Let’s say you won the Mega Millions. You may go on an extravagant vacation, buy a sprawling home, or set up trust funds for family members—you know, something practical. But at a certain eye-watering tax bracket, these become been there, done that moves. The ultimate luxury may be one not necessarily seen, heard, or held—only smelled. For the ultra rich, creating a one-of-a-kind fragrance has become an increasingly popular way to signal one’s wealth. While you or I may scoff at spending a month’s rent on a luxury scent, that is but a fraction of what a bespoke perfume may cost. And for the promise of a scent that cannot be replicated, imitated, or duplicated, money, time, and resources is no object. There are many perfumers in the world who…

WHAT WOULD YOU PAY TO SMELL LIKE ONE IN EIGHT BILLION?

THE MELANCHOLIC SOUND OF SUCCESS

In 2024, Michelle Zauner decided she needed a break and went to Korea. Over the year, the musician and author became a regular at classic Seoul eateries; studied Korean at Sogang University—and spent a lot of time allowing herself to be sad. Though Zauner had been an indie pop star since her debut under the moniker Japanese Breakfast in 2016, it wasn’t until 2022 that she accomplished several other ambitions she’d long dreamed of: She released Crying in H Mart, a memoir about her mother’s death, to critical and award-winning acclaim. And her third album, Jubilee, earned her a mainstream fan base, plus two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album. Yet, she felt lost and unfulfilled. She began grappling with her success. At the time,…

THE MELANCHOLIC SOUND OF SUCCESS

Stylist: Lauren Jeworski | Hair: Josué Perez at TMG | Makeup: Camille Thompson at The Wall Group Keyla Monterroso Mejia whispers when she says her co-stars’ names: Larry David. Katt Williams. Reese Witherspoon. Seth Rogen. When she describes sharing the screen with these comedy legends, the 27-year-old actress can’t help but lower her voice, partly out of lingering shock, but also out of continued deference. “All of these things are like, What is my life? What’s going on? ” Monterroso Mejia tells me over Zoom on a January afternoon, referencing her rapid rise to comedic fame. She feels so removed from the radius of Hollywood’s sparkle. In some ways, quite literally. For our interview, Monterroso Mejia—wearing a nondescript sweatshirt; her hair in a bun—appears on screen from her home deep…

AGING IN THE SPOTLIGHT

For decades, there’s been an unfortunate but common belief in Hollywood (and beyond) that women over 40 are invisible. Actresses are then relegated to playing somebody’s nondescript wife. Or mother. Or in some mind-boggling cases, somebody’s grandmother. While this has improved in recent years (though statistics regarding on-screen representation remain dismal), now more than ever, women in Hollywood are taking matters into their own hands and shaping the conversation around aging with their own art. And it’s paying off. Several films that show women wrestling with their age have garnered acclaim this awards season: the Demi Moore-led feminist horror film The Substance; the Gia Coppola-directed indie The Last Showgirl, which marks Pamela Anderson’s first lead role in years; the Amy Adams-led adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s novel Nightbitch; and, in some…

AGING IN THE SPOTLIGHT

SALMA RUNS THE SHOW

It’s a damp winter morning in Hampstead Heath, a tony London enclave that’s home to some of the city’s most covetable real estate, and I’m perched in Salma Hayek Pinault’s well-appointed parlor gazing at the impeccably manicured gardens that surround her baronial estate. A pad so impressive that it prompted my wide-eyed Uber driver to ask, “How many families live in there?” While Hayek Pinault, one of Hollywood’s most beloved and bankable stars, is wrapping up her daily meditation session, Nikki, her genial house manager flits about, dutifully tending to the vibes. She’s lit Trudon candles, poured freshly brewed ginger tea, and laid out a Pinterest-worthy spread of delectable small bites; watermelon slices, plump raspberries, mixed nuts, an assortment of cookies and chocolates that beg me to abandon all healthy-eating…

SALMA RUNS THE SHOW

TINASHE IN BLOOM

“It was really validating to have a quote-unquote hit again; to have everyone talking about me. But at the same time, it’s so fickle, so you can’t put too much on those moments.” Tinashe arrives with breaking news. We’re sitting down for pedicures on a balcony at the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A., sipping prosecco, when the conversation turns to aliens. Tinashe knows I’m in town from New York, so she asks, “Were you seeing those drones in New Jersey?” I had not. When she hears this, her eyes narrow and she pauses in disbelief and disappointment. Earlier that day, she had seen reports of “fucking huge car-sized drones” flying over the Garden State, but no one, including the FBI, knew what they were. “When I was young, I was…

THE MOMS ON A MISSION TO SAVE “FROZEN CHILDREN”

Even before she could read, Andrea Darby knew that she wanted to be a mother. In kindergarten, she’d gone to her Tennessee elementary school dressed up as a mom for career day, with her light brown hair in curlers, holding a baby doll. Years later, as she was finishing up high school, she still had motherhood on her mind. “I knew I wanted to be a mom, and my parents were like, ‘No, you need to find a degree in something you can actually have a job in,’” Andrea, now 33, says, laughing at the memory while on a video call from her Alabama home on a Monday afternoon in December. Andrea enrolled in nursing school at Freed-Hardeman University, a small Christian college in West Tennessee. There, as a freshman,…

THE ARTIST’S WAY

In a society that rewards burnout and thrives on grind culture, our daily lives don’t always afford us the luxury to spend free time on our craft. Many of us are also way too online and burdened by a constant news cycle, making it difficult to find moments of stillness: a necessary ingredient for good art. To help, we’ve found some of the most awe-inspiring and creativity-focused retreats around the world. Whether you want to make progress on an existing project, begin something new, or simply reconnect with your artistic side, these are the places to add to your list.

“USE YOUR PLATFORM POSITIVELY” Loreen Hwang, 40, content creator Palisades Wildfire, California When the fires broke out in the Palisades, I organized two pop-up donation centers and spread the word through a call to action on Instagram. I reposted GoFundMe pages for elderly people who didn’t have access to social media or didn’t know how to use it. When I heard about an Altadena man who moved into a motel after losing his home of 50 years, I reached out and asked what he needed. His family said they had a GoFundMe for him, but it wasn’t doing well. With their permission, I posted the link and helped raise $36,000. If you’re helping an individual, ask how you can be of assistance, but also respect their experience and be sensitive…

HODA KOTB HAD HER DREAM JOB—THEN DECIDED TO WALK AWAY

When did you start thinking about leaving the TODAY show? It was something that was nestled in the way-back of my mind, and especially with my kids and the ages they are, I thought about it on days that were long or days that I missed things. When you’re in love with something, it’s like, why would you ever break up with someone you’re in love with? It doesn’t make any sense to do that. But I realized that there are phases of life, and the TODAY show and NBC has been my longest relationship of any I’ve ever had. I wanted to see what kind of possibilities were available to me beyond this incredible job. Someone put it to me this way: “When you choose to jump, you have…
