A Fashion-Lover’s Take On The 13 Most Iconic Sneakers Of All Time

Gambar
When I was growing up, wearing sneakers with anything but workout gear was possibly the biggest fashion faux pas you could make. Middle school is a rough time for all involved, but wearing sneakers with your weekend garb (yes, I had a school uniform), was a major style no-no. Fast-forward to 2020, though, and practically everyone is wearing sneakers at all times. It's almost hard to spot a chic street style look without them. With this in mind, I've decided to take a gander at some of the best women's sneakers (and most iconic fashion sneakers) of all time. If you're just starting to recognize sneakers as a fashion statement, pay close attention—you've got some serious catching up to do. From the truly emblematic Nike Air Jordans (Is anybody else binging the Michael Jordan docuseries this weekend??) to the checkerboard-emblazoned Vans slip-ons, there's a long line of iconic sneakers dating back to the ear...

Evidence mounts that Canada's worst-ever mass shooter was a woman-hater and misogyny fuelled his killing spree that left 22 dead

Gambar
Misogyny could be investigated as a key aspect in the Nova Scotia mass shooting after a former neighbor revealed the gunman's history of domestic violence and weapon possession.  Brenda Forbes said that shooter Gabriel Wortman — who committed the worst mass shooting in Canada's history — had a reputation in the rural town of Portapique for being violent and intimidating.  Wortman had been seen on numerous occasions assaulting and beating his partner, who was too afraid to come forward to police as she feared repercussions.  But when Forbes went to police to report the domestic violence and Wortman's possession of illegal weapons, no firm action was taken. A month after the mass shooting, activists are saying that police ignored "red flags" that could have prevented the killings and that they were fuelled by misogyny. Research has shown that many male perpetrators of mass shootings have a history of hating women and domestic violence. Visi...

Wonder Woman & Harley Quinn: Why the DCEU Stars Make DC's WORST Duo

Gambar
Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn are two of the biggest stars of the DC Universe, and they just might be DC's most hilariously dysfunctional duo. Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #1 by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Inaki Miranda, Hi-Fi and Travis Lanham, available now. The best superhero team-ups are all built around opposites. Superman and Batman work well together even though they have different methods and the same goes for Marvel duos like Spider-Man and Wolverine. By the end of these stories, the two heroes usually realize that they have more in common than not, and they come to mutual respect that leads to a great friendship. However, that old trope doesn't just hold up for Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #1.

At Work is a weekly Rolling Stone series exploring how decision-makers in the fast-changing music business spend their hectic days — as well as what burgeoning ideas they're keen to explore, what advice they'd give to industry newcomers, and more. Read earlier interviews here. When attorney Dina LaPolt called Tammy Brook early in the morning on Super Bowl Sunday last year to tell her that her client, rapper 21 Savage, had been detained by the ICE, Brook sprung into action. Within minutes, major news outlets were calling. By the second quarter of that football game, Brook had gotten the head of immigration group FWD Alida Garcia, the founder of Black Lives Matter Patrisse Cullors, and reps from four other organizations all on the phone to create the #Free21Savage Coalition; by the next morning, Black Lives Matter had gotten 450,000 people to sign a petition to free the musician.

Are You Down for Biz-Leisure Style?

From Harper's BAZAAR Talking about silver linings in quarantine is a difficult proposition, and the Internet can be a tricky place for rooting out positivity right now. But the truth is that most Americans are home all day, working, not working, worrying about not working, caring for children—and, yes, some are fashion-influencing on the Internet, Instagram in particular. Creativity is often born out of adversity, and now is no different. While some are baking bread, or painting what could be their masterpiece, or writing the next great American novel, others are mixing and matching their comfort pieces with business attire. And so, quarantine has officially given us an entirely new style genre. Move over, athleisure; welcome, biz-leisure. Sweatpants and a blazer? Sure thing. Track pants and a button-down? Sign us up. Running shorts and a men's jacket? It's a plan. Consider it Zoom call on top, Netflix and chill on the bottom—unless you opt for a sweatshirt with trousers. O...
