Soon after the Trump administration launched its war on Iran, I called up Reed Blakemore, director of research and programs at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center, to talk about the consequences.

At the end of our conversation, Blakemore said plainly: “Let’s have a call again [next week] … We’ll have a much clearer picture of what the conflict is going to look like and what the story really is going to be for energy…

If Christopher Esber’s fall collection read automotive, there’s a good reason for that: after re-watching David Cronenberg’s Crash, he decided to transpose upholstered materials, curved metal, padded surfaces, buckles, harnesses and so forth into a sartorial expression. Over Zoom, the designer said that his idea was not to go for oversexuality but rather “a quiet charge” that might emerge from the relationship between skin and surfaces, softness and structure.“Looking at technology and the body, from airbags and seatbelts to the interior of cars and how we feel protected and enveloped by them, sort of like a womb, is something we…
