Today, start by giving yourself grace and remembering not to judge yourself for how long your journey is taking. We all need our own time to travel our own distance. Every step is necessary, and everyone journeys in their own way… Some people start their careers right out of college in their early twenties, only to find themselves burnt out and starting over when they reach their early thirties.

It has a slot for easy brush removal if hair gets stuck around the bars, which is a helpful thing to have when you’re dealing with pet (and human) hair. The lever and the angle of the lid for emptying are counterintuitive, and the first few times I emptied it, the debris went everywhere. It’s hard to distinguish between eco and power modes,…

The Wall Street Journal’s Sean McLain reported Sunday on the recent Humanoids Summit in Mountain View, California held earlier this month. McLain seems to have come away with the impression that makers of robots are worried they’ve oversold a technology that, well, sucks. So far anyway.Sure, Elon Musk is promising a robot army, and there’s now some kind of robot butler being preordered by rich people who are expected to pay $20,000 essentially just to help train it. What the optimists perhaps haven’t considered is something the Chinese government has already spoken on: there’s a danger that if this hype produces…

It was a normal day when Jay Gibson got an unexpected notification on his iPhone. “Apple detected a targeted mercenary spyware attack against your iPhone,” the message read. Ironically, Gibson used to work at companies that developed exactly the kind of spyware that could trigger such a notification. Still, he was shocked that he received a notification on his own phone. He called his father, turned off and put his phone away, and went to buy a new one. “I was panicking,” he told TechCrunch. “It was a mess. It was a huge mess.”   Gibson is just one of an…

Editor’s note: The much-missed Helmut Lang is the subject of a new exhibition at MAK in Vienna. As part of Vogue Runway’s ongoing efforts to document the history of fashion shows, we are closing out 2025 by adding as complete-as-possible digitized shows to the site. This fall 1995 ready-to-wear collection was presented in Paris in March 1995. The more time I spend with Helmut Lang’s past work, the more cautious I am about coming at it with expectations, because the designer surprised at every turn. By 1995 Vogue had determined that he was “at once a classicist and a minimalist.” Minimalist is the…
