It all started with a text message. Bazaar contributor Faran Krentcil and I were chatting about the cultural obsession with romance lately—Wuthering Heights, Love Story, Heated Rivalry, and on and on. The London runways were also filled with nods to romance, the way it moves us, drains us, challenges us. Faran had a beautiful reaction to it all, opening up about her own recent heartbreak and new single life while also acknowledging the way fashion should and can make us feel something. —Brooke Bobb, fashion news director |
