|Summer 2024
From corsetry and embroidery to the fineness of tailoring, this season's most beguiling silhouettes offer a palpable sense of history and craft. Liya Kebede and her children connect the dots between past, present, and future.

While the baby albums of most people teem with pizza parties and petting zoos, eyes reddened by the unruly flash of disposable cameras, mixed into Suhul and Raee Kebede’s family photos are portraits by Annie Leibovitz and Arthur Elgort.
