Loewe thrust Paris Fashion Week into a bleak and dystopian vision of the future on Saturday, turning its runway into a dead space where nature and animal life only existed to be harnessed and exploited by humankind.

On Friday, Dior's English countryside-inspired show attracted a gathering of high-profile names — including David Beckham and son Cruz, Naomi Campbell, J Balvin, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel — as it paid homage to late British painter Duncan Grant, a celebrated member of London’s Bloomsbury Group, a British collective of writers, intellectuals and artists in the early 20th century who are often cited by designer Kim Jones as an influence. ...

TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Manson still had his bags half-packed from the Avalanche’s last time on the road when they returned home with the chance to win the Stanley Cup. That didn’t happen, and now he and his teammates will be confronted with Game 6 on Sunday night against the Lightning. The game will be at Amalie Arena, where Tampa Bay hoisted the Cup a year ago to win its second straight championship. The Avalanche, trying to win their first championship as a group and the organization’s first since 2001, know the immense challenge they have in front of them against a desperate opponent that has more experience this deep into the playoffs. “You have to have that desperation because it’s the finals,” Manson said Saturday in Denver before flying to Florida’s Gulf Coast. “You can’t look ...

My track record with impractical shoes is a long one. I’ve stomped around hilly, sidewalk-less cities in vintage brocade mules, and teetered around New York Fashion Week in six-inch, pointy-toe stilettos. I’ve shoved my feet into too-small sparkly ballerina slippers and winced my way through the work day, and run six miles before slipping on stacked heel suede boots and Teva Sandals stomping through the NYC subway system. But as I’m currently writing this story while nursing a nasty case of “peroneal tendonitis” (IYKYK) from too much walking/jogging and not enough foot support, it’s become clear: cushy, sporty sandals are my answer to a limp-free summer. So does this mean it’s time to stock up on Tevas? Not so fast. While I certainly enjoy the old school hiking staple every so often (bo...
