When Kevin Warsh steps to the podium Wednesday for his first news conference as chair of the Federal Reserve, he will enjoy something his predecessor Jerome Powell lacked for years: breathing room from the president. “The president trusts Warsh, so he’ll have some scope of action,” a person familiar with Trump-Fed dynamics said, speaking under condition of anonymity to describe what has been one of the most volatile relationships of this administration.The new Fed chair will attempt to use that freedom to make his case internally for far-reaching change at the Fed, people who know him and closely follow the…

“As you know, I’m quite obsessed with my muses.” So said Emilia Wickstead of her tendency to look to a female artist most seasons, drawing on either their work and their wardrobes for inspiration. (Though she’s equally inspired by the women she dresses, the latest being NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, who married Peter Phillips—son of Princess Anne—a few weeks back in a custom lace gown by Wickstead, prompting global headlines.)For resort, the designer turned her gaze to Helen Frankenthaler, the mid-century American painter beloved for her fluid, watercolor-like canvases,which made for a delightful meeting of minds. As well as taking…

“Music gives color to the air of the moment.” ~Karl Lagerfeld I used to think I was a good listener. I could hold eye contact, nod at the right moments, ask thoughtful follow-up questions. But one afternoon, sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat in a small studio in Rishikesh, I realized I had never truly listened to anything, not even myself. The teacher asked us to close our eyes and simply notice the sounds around us. A ceiling fan turning slowly overhead. A dog barking somewhere down the street. My own breath, uneven and shallow. And then, beneath all of…

Last summer, Sibbjäns—the nearly 200-acre regenerative farm and hotel in the south of Gotland, a sun-bleached Swedish island 45 minutes via prop plane from Stockholm—had a soft opening for friends and family. The in-the-works property had been the talk of the island for six years and counting, while the owners, two couples who are Swedish but not Gotlandish (“a local told me it takes seven generations to become a Gotlander,” says Susanna Rönn, one of the owners, who has had a house on Gotland since 1994), set about developing the estate.Under their stewardship, 18th-century limestone farm buildings were restored with…

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference in life. Sometimes changing your circumstances isn’t possible, or simply not possible soon enough. You can’t get to a new job in an instant. You can’t make someone else change against his or her will. And you certainly can’t erase the past.  So what options do you have left? Change your perception, belief or opinion about your circumstances. Doing so will help you change your attitude and ultimately allow you to grow beyond the struggles you can’t control. The Greek philosopher Epictetus said it perfectly more than 2,000 years ago:…

Amid heightened anticipation, Kevin Warsh will head his first meeting as Federal Reserve chairman but is expected do very little, at least initially, according to the latest CNBC Fed Survey.The 32 respondents, including economists, fund managers and strategists, as a group see no rate change at this meeting or any meeting through 2027. But 88% do expect the Fed at this week’s meeting to remove the easing bias in the statement that has signaled the Fed’s next move would likely be a cut. Warsh comes in as the hand-picked nominee of a president who has been bullying the Fed for…

Time, that notoriously rude guest, marches on. Glamour, meanwhile, develops a few charming scuffs around the edges, even for the seemingly immortal Attico girls. Ten years ago, Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini cheerfully hurled themselves into the carnivorous maw of fashion, a business famous for devouring trends, dreams, and occasionally its own darlings, launching a label that became an overnight obsession. Their formula was a kind of disheveled vintage glamour, with slinky slip dresses clinging for dear life to the body while strategically revealing expanses of tanned, taut skin. It was seductive and sexy, suggesting bad behavior without ever quite…
