Style

Style covers clothes, food and the influence economy that sells both: collections and collaborations, restaurant openings and closings, the sponsorship deals behind a recommendation, and the difference between a trend and a marketing budget. The desk also takes the service journalism around them — what a thing costs, where it is sold, whether it lasts.

Where a report mentions a brand or a restaurant, it is because the story is about them, not because anyone paid for the mention. Paid placements on this site are listed in our editorial standards and are marked where they appear.

The desk holds 4 reports filed on October 26, 2023. Newest sits first, and the date under a headline is the date it was published.

A report belongs to one desk, and the address it was published at does not change afterwards: renaming a section does not move a page, so a link saved years ago still opens the same report. Where a story touches two subjects it stays in the desk it was filed to, and the same page is also reachable from the writer it belongs to.

The order on this page is by date, not by how much traffic a report draws, and long pieces are listed on the same terms as short ones. If a fact in one of them is wrong, the newsroom address takes corrections: the fix is written onto the report itself, with a note saying what changed, rather than published somewhere else.
