The Schmooze Jonah Hill, Fashion Icon?
Jonah Hill is Seth Rogen’s awkward sidekick no longer — not since the formerly pudgy comic slimmed down and started taking on more serious roles, like his Golden Globe-nominated part in “Moneyball.” Word has it that his style matches the shift.

Life Why I Hide Teen Vogue From My Teen
Teen Vogue magazine began mysteriously arriving in our mail a couple of months ago (probably because I subscribe to Vogue proper and the algorithms know how old my children are), and I am doing my best to keep it away from my 13-year-old daughter. I take a quick look through it and then tuck it…

The Schmooze Couture as Comedy and Conflict Resolution
Photo by Neta Alonim The iconography of fashion is perhaps not the most obvious tool with which to parse the complexities of the Middle East. Still, everything else seems to have failed; more to the point, style does shares a common vocabulary. So, why not? “InSALAAM, InSHALOM,” a fashion collection and multimedia exhibit curated by…

Life In Brooklyn, Dressing for the Back of the Bus
It used to be that while walking in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on a fine spring day or attending wedding in nearby Boro Park, you would see how stylish Haredi women could be.
