When Camille Charrière designed a capsule collection for the British intimates brand Stripe & Stare last year, she was not expecting the line to cause controversy — and certainly not expecting to start a public fight with Kim Kardashian and her billion-dollar brand, Skims. But after Ms. Charrière accused Skims of copying her work in…
Alice McDermott, 70, writer There are three kinds of novels I’ve never taken to heart: science fiction, murder mysteries and novels about novelists. So I’ve decided to try my hand at each.

“This building was a late 19th-century millinery. From 1996 to 2021, it housed an Arts and Crafts-era furniture showroom. We moved in in August of 2022.

About two years ago, a new tenant moved into Savile Row, the London street known as a center of men’s tailoring for more than 200 years.
