STAY
The four-story Grand Hotel Nord Pinus is the
intelligentsia’s residence of choice. Former
visitors include Ernest Hemingway, Henry James,
and Helmut Newton, whose iconic 1973 nude
portrait of Charlotte Rampling was photographed
inside. Restored in 1989, the seventeenth-
century building now features decorative
wrought-iron furniture, a cozy on-site bar, and
balconied suites overlooking Arles’s central
square. (nord-pinus.com; from $258 per night)

ARE ALL RIGHT
Kids
What do (young) women want? Millennials
and Gen Z are pushing the fashion industry
in a new direction—and fostering boundless
creativity along the way. By Véronique Hyland
H
eadlines would have you believe that millennials
are destroying industries from cereal to soap (with
the possible exception of their beloved avocados).
But these 22- to 37-year-olds—plus their under-22
successors, known as Generation Z, Generation Y, or
postmillennials, depending on whom you ask—are as excited about
fashion as ever. They just think about it diferently.
To put it simply: Fashion 1.0 was all about runway shows; you’d
wait months for the collections to arrive in stores. The new iteration
works on a more spontaneous timeline of streetwear-influenced
“drops,” limited editions, and impromptu collaborations. The clothes
look diferent, too. “Inclusivity, gender neutrality, comfort, casual-
ness—these are all things that are here to stay,” says Lazaro Hernan-
dez, codesigner of Proenza Schouler. It’s an ethos he and partner
Jack McCollough applied to their PSWL line, a collection of tees,
denim, sweatshirts, and other efortless staples that speak directly to a
generation more interested in cultivating a casual-cool aesthetic

question everyone from LVMH to H&M is tackling now. For Shayne
Oliver, the event is as important as the collection. “It’s very rare to be
in a small room with a bunch of really cool people,” he says. One of
this generation’s favorite designers, and at 30 a millennial himself,
Oliver has gained a loyal following for his work at Hood By Air and
Helmut Lang. His latest project: designing the first collection in
Diesel’s Red Tag Project. A garage in Paris served as the launchpad,
with models in avant-garde double-denim looks posed inside cages.
At this past Milan Fashion Week, Moncler unveiled its Genius
project, a series of collaborations with young labels, including Palm
Angels and Craig Green, in an Instagram-friendly setting. Then
there’s Of-White impresario—and recently appointed Louis Vuitton
menswear designer—Virgil Abloh, who might be the prototypical
Gen-Z designer. His collaborations span everyone from IKEA to
artist Takashi Murakami, and his most recent Paris Fashion Week
show attracted throngs of fans outside. Abloh’s pace might seem
frenetic to designers of an older generation, but his gig-economy
approach keeps his followers interested. He compares it to the way
he shules between tracks as a DJ: “litmus-testing the culture.”
As Hernandez puts it, “People get bored of things more quickly

A
nyone who’s had a rough week
knows the look: puffy eyes, dark

fine lines. “We call it stress aging,” says
Manhattan-based dermatologist and psy-
chiatrist Amy Wechsler, MD. “Daily stress-
ors such as a demanding job, a lack of sleep,
and an unhealthy lifestyle can manifest as
pallid patches, pimples, and wrinkles, which
can add three to six years to your skin.”
As dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD,
author of The Beauty of Dirty Skin, explains,
“Stress slows down digestion, which creates
a shift in bacteria that can compromise the
integrity of your gut lining. This can cause
inflammation throughout the body and lead
to acne flare-ups as well as premature ag-

adds, somewhat embarrassed, “You were probably like, She’s just a little
girl.” Del Rey assures her that, no, she didn’t think that, but agrees that
the night was completely surreal. “I couldn’t believe I was singing for
everybody in the middle of a palace,” she says. Del Rey changed her
set list at the last minute to include a special song request—she thinks
it was “Blue Jeans”—from Kendall. Or was it Kylie? The details are
lost on them now, but “I was like, Oh shit, okay, I’ll throw that in the
mix,” Del Rey says.
The singer and now supermodel became friendly when they kept
seeing each other at various concerts, fashion events, and festivals,
including Coachella. Del Rey is bummed to miss the marathon music
fest this year. She’ll still be touring abroad. “You’re going to have to live
it up for both of us!” she commands. “I’ll send pics,” Jenner promises.
For two kindred spirits, a Del Rey/Jenner collaboration seems
only natural. Could a music video be on the horizon? “I don’t think
that’s up to me!” Jenner says, laughing. Del Rey says it’s most likely.
“I’m sure we’ll do something at some point. It might not even be
a video. We have so many mutual friends. It could be something
avant-garde, like a little art project.” Jenner points out that this con-
versation counts as something. A phone call these days is, after all,
an anomaly. Who talks when you can text? For Jenner, it’s a peace-
ful moment away from the steady deluge of Kardashian chatter. “I
could not check my phone for two minutes, and there are, like, 100
text messages. The majority of the time, my family group chat is on
sleep mode. I can’t have it on vibrate.” She won’t opt out entirely be-
cause, well, family, but also because the text chain is one of her go-to
sources for info. “It gives me my daily dose of news sometimes. Like,
just this morning, it was announced that Virgil [Abloh] is now the
designer for men’s Louis Vuitton. I got that from my family group
chat. Virgil’s been a homie for forever.”

carefully in discussing their relationships with artists. “Half the

Privacy is a hard-won luxury
for model Hailey Baldwin.
She’s rocked the runways of
fashion empires like Dolce
& Gabbana, Moschino, and
Tommy Hilfiger. Her Instagram
followers tally upwards of 11
million. And her jaunts to the
gym or the set of her raucous
TBS rap-battle show, Drop the
Mic, are tabloid fodder. Under
such scrutiny, the 21-year-old
keeps her stress in check by
breaking a sweat. “I’ve been
boxing for the last three years.
It reminds me of dance in how
coordinated it is,” says Baldwin,
who spent last summer flash-
boxing at Rumble in New York.
“I was in the best shape I’ve ever
been.” For emotional support,
she turns to her parents (her
dad is actor Stephen Baldwin)
and friends like ELLE cover star
Kendall Jenner. “I’m definitely
not a talker,” Baldwin admits.
“But when I’m having an issue,
I need to say it out loud, like, six
or seven times until I figure it
out.” As for healthy eating, she
subscribes to naturopath Peter
J. D’Adamo’s Blood Type Diet,

plant-based meals for those,
like her, with blood type A. But
