In his narrative poem ​‘The Divine Comedy’, accepted to have been written between 1308 and 1321 and widely considered to be the most influential work of Italian literature, Dante Alighieri set out a striking vision of the afterlife which changed literature forever. In Julian Schnabel’s 2025 adaptation of Nick Tosches’ ​‘In the Hand of Dante’, inspired by Alighieri’s work, the film director creates the sensation for viewers of being dragged through the various levels of hell across the course of 2.5 turgid hours, riddled with incomprehensible dialogue, baffling accents and some of the most egregious continuity in recent film history.Perhaps this…

If the number one thing you’re looking forward to wearing this fall is a leather jacket and you want some outfit inspiration, Hailey Bieber is your girl. I can’t think of another celebrity in modern times who has a better leather jacket collection than her. And the style she’s worn more often than not over the past year is leather bomber jackets, which is hardly surprising, as it’s the biggest leather jacket trend of 2025 by a mile. In fact, I’d even say Bieber has had a lot to do with the trend’s popularity. But I’m here to talk about…

Extinction Risk–Protection Mismatch in China’s Flora. Credit: Shen Guozhen A new study has revealed a “hidden extinction crisis” in China’s flora, showing that habitat decline over the past four decades has sharply increased extinction risks nationwide. The findings, published in One Earth on September 3, suggest that current conservation efforts are failing to keep pace with biodiversity threats. Led by Dr. Shen Guozhen from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with international collaborators, the researchers combined satellite-based land-cover data (1980–2018) with species-composition models to quantify—for the first time at a national scale—how habitat loss is…

My mantra when getting dressed is always “comfort over everything,” especially when the temperatures start to drop. Leggings have been my go-to choice for year-round wear, whether traveling, running errands, or simply spending a day out with friends. And celebrities like Kaia Gerber and Lindsay Lohan have made leggings look put-together this year by pairing them with cardigans or button-downs recently, but what we’ve been missing this whole time is another comfortable pant trend: track pants. This summer, athletic shorts were the go-to sporty shorts trend for fashion people and celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski. And…

François Ozon and Albert Camus do not seem like a obvious fit. The French filmmaker’s rather louche and uninhibited style seems at odds with Camus’ trademark ennui, the patron saint of university students who smoke roll-ups and have a single tiny hoop earring. Yet Ozon has adapted Camus’ most well-known novella, The Stranger, which concerns a young Frenchman in Algiers who stands trial for the murder of a local man in cold blood. He doesn’t deny the charge, or offer a defence. The mystery is his total disinterest in the matter.The coltish Benjamin Voisin, who also starred Ozon’s in Summer of ​’85, plays Meursault. He…

“Like Luke Skywalker’s planet “Tatooine” in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Kepler-16b is a gas giant, like Saturn, so it would have no solid surface to stand on. The view here is of and from an imagined nearby moon. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren’t good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice.

Think polished layers, effortless proportions, and accessories that signal you’re in on the fashion conversation. The new approach is all about styling black leggings with elevated separates that make them look like a deliberate outfit rather than an afterthought.The wardrobe staple is one of those pieces that never fully disappears but can ebb and flow in relevance.
