(Robert Kerian “It’s been interesting to see what’s been happening over just the last few years, how high fashion’s taking from streetwear, and streetwear takes from high fashion,” Dominic Ciambrone says. “My first experience with luxury sneakers was when I was 22 or 23, and I went to a store in San Francisco called Black Scale which had a collaboration with Android Homme,” he continues, name-checking the early Los Angeles luxury sneaker brand whose $300 price tags raised eyebrows at the time. “As a kid, especially for me, I never thought I could afford Louis Vuitton or any of these other brands. So that was actually my introduction to luxury at an entry point, and really to see fashion in...
As a parent, you will always want the best for your child. This is especially true when it comes to their education. Remember, though, that not all educational institutions are created equal, and there may be times when you will feel that your local school’s educational system is not up to your standards. There is also the possibility of your child getting bullied or losing interest in studying. This is a risk all parents take when they send their kids to school. The good news is that there is an alternative way for your child to get the best education possible, all under your watchful eye. Why not try homeschooling? What is homeschooling, though? How effective is homeschooling? How does...

Since the dawn of cinema, kids have been obsessed with dinosaurs on the big screen. It makes sense: Dinosaurs are big, cool, and extremely fun to impersonate. They’re also kind of terrifying, which makes selecting good kids' dinosaur movies is hard. A child who thinks a dancing dad in a T-Rex costume is awesome might be scared of a movie during which one, say, munches on a lawyer hiding in a bathroom. If you’re looking to foster a growing interest in the Jurassic, not to mention Triassic and Cretaceous, the best way in is with a fun, entertaining, but not necessarily scientifically rigorous film — at least when it comes to their violent lives.“I think the best dinosaur movies are...
Congrats! You are probably about to eat the very best Thanksgiving meal of your life.Maybe your turkey is drier than a World Cup fan in Qatar, or maybe you overcommitted and nothing is ready by 8 p.m. Maybe you’re making the same exact menu as last year. But if you round up every single Thanksgiving dinner in the United States—all the birds and pies and mac and cheeses and green-bean casseroles—on average, the meal will be just marginally, imperceptibly tastier than last year. On average, it will be noticeably better than a decade ago, substantially better than two decades ago, and night-and-day better than 40 years ago.
