Hot on the heels of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Stockholm’s best brands are showcasing their AW21 collections this week, with the likes of ATP Atelier, House of Dagmar, Rodebjer, Stand Studio and Weekday all showing digitally this season. Almost a year on since the last totally physical Fashion Month, there are […]
Here is a not-at-all-comprehensive list of times I’ve incorrectly used the term “emotional labour”: — To express my exasperation when my husband asked me where in our apartment we keep the batteries.— When commiserating with a friend whose mother-in-law expected only her to write all of the thank you notes […]
R29Unbothered continues its look at Black culture’s tangled history of Black identity, beauty, and contributions to the culture. In 2021, we’re giving wings to our roots, learning and unlearning our stories, and celebrating where Black past, present and future meet. Six years after the world watched Eric Garner yell, “I can’t breathe” 11 times […]
Amy Collado is wearing gold hoop earrings, a blue bandana, and vintage-style glasses for our Zoom conversation. She’s sitting in front of a collection of records and a poster of André 3000, and I feel like I’ve travelled back in time. She’s like that cool young tía that we all grew […]

Currently, about 1.3 million Americans are receiving a COVID-19 vaccination every day, and President Joe Biden recently stated he hopes to raise that number to 1.5 million soon, with the goal of meeting his pledge to vaccinate 100 million people within his first 100 days in office. Though during the summer […]
As of Thursday, roughly 8.4% of Americans had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine; 2.1% had received both. And the post-vaccination selfie has already become a thing: As people get their jabs, many are heading to social media to share a smiling selfie, tweet, or even a […]
