In a stunning showcase during Berlin Fashion Week, Danny Reinke presented his collection, Numinous, which reinterprets the essence of the forest as an independent force rather than a mere backdrop. The presentation condensed the space into an intense, almost ritualistic atmosphere, amplified by live music and atmospheric lighting, demonstrating a clear narrative arc. The stunning backstage photography by Thilo Wilcke captures the essence of this remarkable collection, echoing the omnipresence of nature in every frame.

To be clear, Harry Styles at the Grammys is not a surprise. The musician-actor has long been a familiar sight at the awards show - the three-time winner was omnipresent during the early 2020s. But, since releasing Harry's House in 2022, Style's antics have skewed monkish; beyond his blisteringly fast incognito marathons, he's generally managed to recuse himself from the glaring limelight.

Is your wardrobe cringe? Does it make you look out-of-touch and cause younger and cooler people to look upon you with pity? Do you really want me to answer that? Never mind, I'm going to anyway, so buckle up. Brutal honesty is very January, so I will give it to you straight. But before we get down to dissecting your wardrobe, two quick questions for you. Do you put full stops in text messages? Were you baffled by Labubus?

It's the most wonderful time of the year - for film buffs and fashionistas, at least. Awards season is here, and celebs are busy vying for a spot on annual best-dressed lists. Plus, Hollywood's best and brightest have been flocking to Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, which kicked off on Jan. 22. The festival may not have as flashy of a fashion reputation as New York or LA red carpets, but style stars like Jenna Ortega came to deliver nonetheless. The actress attended the festival to promote her upcoming film, The Gallerist. On Jan. 24, the Wednesday actress stepped out in two preppy corpcore fits, including a designer minidress and monochromatic skirt suit.

Any time there's a new YSL Libre fragrance launch, you can almost always count on Dua Lipa to wear a very specific (and very spicy) ensemble in its accompanying campaign. As of Thursday, Jan. 15, that still proves to be true. The "Levitating" songstress has been a YSL Beauty ambassador since 2019, when she introduced the OG Libre in an ad. Since then, she's been starring in spots for each new Libre iteration, including Intense, Flowers & Flames, and Vanille Couture. It's a longstanding tradition.

After a four-year hiatus, the show finally returns to HBO Max on April 12, and there's a lot to unpack. Following a five-year time jump since their high school graduation, Zendaya's Rue seems to be sober and doing well - until her former dealer shows up at her door (Martha Kelly). She then ends up in what seems to be a strip club, seemingly about to be indebted to a whole new bad guy.

She embraced the corpcore aesthetic by wearing a classic gray striped blazer with fitted lapels and pointed pockets, looking professional as always. But in true Carrie fashion, she added a dainty touch with a baby pink button-up blouse underneath, featuring a curved V-neck and symmetrical hem, courtesy of a silky ribbon. She paired her blazer with a skirt that had a black-and-gray flecked pattern. Of course, SJP didn't step out without some statement accessories.

I was intrigued by the similarity between two paintings recently featured in the Guardian: the Ecce Homo as restored by Cecilia Gimenez (Cecilia Gimenez, famed for Monkey Christ' mural mishap, dies at 94, 30 December) and Tete de Femme by Pablo Picasso (1m Picasso portrait up for grabs for 100 in charity raffle, 31 December). Perhaps Cecilia's work is in need of a reappraisal. Steve Shearsmith Beverley, East Yorkshire

One of the great Irish songs is The Parting Glass. Nobody performed it better than Liam Clancy. At the end of every December, he sang it to remember those who had been lost during the year.

Few brands have captured the zeitgeist quite like Pink Palm Puff (PPP). With their signature embroidered hoodies and holiday pajama sets that blend cozy comfort and coastal-preppy style, PPP has exploded into a cultural staple, amassing nearly one million TikTok followers and a sprawling audience across all social platforms. Each product drop turns into a viral event, solidifying the brand's role as a bonafide pillar for originality and style in today's youth fashion landscape.

'Trimming' the holiday tree takes on new meaning this season as several hotels worldwide have tapped fashion designers to deck property Christmas trees in their own signature styles. In a break from the traditional decor, these trees reflect the very core of several brands' DNA. Whether it's all-out maximalist glam or serene sculptural modernity, the merge of flora and fashion is sure to delight this holiday season. Read on for fashion-forward Christmas trees to check out this winter.

Money is tight for many American families right now, and most of us parents are just focused on what to get our kids and loved ones for the holidays. But if you're in the position to buy something special for yourself, a friend, or a family member, you probably want to make sure it's something they'll use a ton and truly love. If you're looking for Christmas gifts people will actually use, then look no further.

Pam Hogg, the fashion designer who brought together fashion and music on the catwalk in the 1980s, has died aged 66, her family have said. Hogg, whose bold, futuristic designs were worn by stars including Rihanna, Kate Moss and Blondie's Debbie Harry, died surrounded by the loving care of cherished friends and family, her family posted on Instagram. We wish to thank all the staff of St Joseph's hospice, Hackney for the beautiful support they provided for Pamela in her final days, they added.

Emily in Paris paints the French capital through rose-colored glasses. Just as you probably aren't prancing around New York City in Manolo Blahnik stilettos and a tutu à la Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, Parisians are much more toned-down than Emily-and you'll rarely see designer labels flashing loudly on bags or fine jewelry from the likes of Dior.
