Svitlana Bevza is of the mindset that, as humans, we don’t actually need much in our wardrobes. Which is why she designs her pieces, season after season, with a focus on the highest craftsmanship. She wants to create investment pieces worthy of her customers. “I consider Bevza garments proper investments,” the Ukrainian designer said. “You can buy a dress and forget about it in your wardrobe and have it for years to come. So I pay a lot of attention to fabric choice and the quality of production, which has to be the finest.”You can see that mentality and follow-through…

It’s easy to be dazzled by Chicago’s centrally located Loop and River North neighborhoods, especially the bevy of swanky bars. But in a city of 77 diverse communities, we advise you to venture farther afield. It’s in these neighborhoods you’ll stumble upon local watering holes, wine bars, and breweries that keep the city buzzing, literally and figuratively.Take Lincoln Park, home to some perennial heavy hitters like Boka and Alinea, or the James Beard Award–winning farm-to-table favorite Lula Cafe in Logan Square. Esmé’s chef Jenner Tomaska and Katrina Bravo have recently opened a cocktail counterpart, Bar Esmé, where a seasonal three-course…

For next season, Rabanne creative director Julien Dossena decided to tone things down a few notches while still working a festive vibe into the mix. Which is perhaps why, rather than calling this a straight-up pre-collection, he titled it “women’s wear, party ’26 and spring.”“It’s a little bit of a reaction to the industry,” the designer offered. “Yes, fashion can be cinematic, it can be an escape, but I have the impression that it’s always Hunger Games, with more beautiful women in more beautiful dresses whereas the world outside is more than questionable.”His response was to try to find a…

You can’t lift a thousand pounds all at once, yet you can easily lift one pound a thousand times. Little repeated efforts will get you there. I have witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages — 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and more. How did they all do it? In a nutshell, they started being more mindful about making progress in their lives, step by step. And by doing so they changed the trajectory of their lives. What you need to remember most right now is that it isn’t too…

Amy Smilovic is ready to, as she puts it, “nerd out” in resort season.“This is the time of year where we really, really double down hard on who we are as a brand,” she explained in Tibi’s downtown showroom. Indeed, Smilovic pushed the boundaries of the brand’s thesis. This time around, her take on elevated, unfussy dressing—with a healthy dose of humor—called for a flannel anorak with a modular belt hidden away in the pocket; a weatherproof trench coat with belt loops at the waist and hip, allowing the wearer to cinch the coat or wear it as a drop…

Los Angeles is, without a doubt, one of the world’s great culinary destinations. Southern California’s sprawling metropolis is home to many large immigrant communities, some of them having claimed their own neighborhoods: Koreatown, Thai Town, Historic Filipinotown, Little Ethiopia. Tamale carts and taco stands populate the city’s intersections, and chefs’ access to pristine produce—by way of top-tier farmers’ markets—is unparalleled.And, because L.A. is so far west and relatively young (as far as history books account for), tradition doesn’t count for much which makes the food scene uniquely unbound. A Taiwanese American tasting menu offering a brilliant nonalcoholic beverage pairing, an…
