Youth can cast a long shadow. Take Chris Leba, who first came to New York in 1987: In a way, that’s still the beating heart of his cult label R13. The ’80s, of course, were a heady time for fashion, and many of its lasting touchstones—the punk movement, Vivienne Westwood, Comme des Garçons’s Rei Kawakubo and, later, the work of Hedi Slimane and Leba’s 20-year stint designing at Ralph Lauren—still have a strong influence on his work.“You absorb all these things over the years,” said Leba. “And when it’s time for you to do something… it’s not conscious, but it…

“You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough.”— Mae West Twenty years ago, I was lucky enough to witness the humble, elegant, peaceful passing of my 89-year-old grandfather. As I sat quietly in his hospice room alongside my grandma and other family members, his nurse smiled softly and said, “I can see he lived well. People his age often pass just the way they lived.” And as I drove home that evening a couple questions kept cycling through my mind… “Am I living well?” “What do I want to be able to smile about on…

We may receive compensation from Faye as an advertising partner. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. I’ve been writing about travel for nearly two decades and, in that time, I’ve watched the travel insurance industry change at roughly the speed of a glacier. For years, the pitch was always the same: buy a policy, hope you never need it, and if something goes wrong, prepare for a paperwork marathon and a check that arrives somewhere between “eventually” and “you’ve forgotten you ever filed.” I’ve personally been on the receiving end of that runaround. So…
