Hala Alyan spotted in Paris ⁠
⁠
Poet and clinical psychologist @hala.n.alyan has a peripatetic soul — growing up, she moved frequently, living in several countries and many U.S. states, before settling in New York in her early twenties. Now, she lives in Williamsburg, and when she’s not writing or teaching at NYU, her favorite thing to do is wander around the city, often with her four-year-old daughter, Leila, in tow. In early July, we caught up with Hala while she was in Paris teaching at NYU’s campus in the city. We chatted about writing an accidental memoir, finding music to cry to, eating lemons in the bath, and more.⁠

Revisit our interview with the philosopher and professor who has devoted most of her career to exploring the relations between violence, gender, and race.

Shannen, spotted in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont.⁠
⁠
We spotted Shannen lounging in the park with her friends on a piece of Barbet de Jouy fabric. We noticed her as she performed an incantation to scare away the gnats swarming around people’s heads. Shannen spoke with us about how The Color Purple led to what she calls her “intimate revolution” and inspired her to become an actress; her passion for social causes; and her formative travels through southern India.⁠

@miyakobellizzi's bookshelf from our feature in 2024.⁠
⁠
Revisit our interview with costume designer Miyako Bellizzi, the brain behind the character-defining looks for movies like Uncut Gems and Good Time, and the miniseries Scenes from a Marriage. Miyako sees her role as that of a “cultural anthropologist with a specialization in clothing.” We spoke to the fashion maven about growing up in a family of stylish women, her research process, and home-made beauty remedies. by @passerby

Deneita Watson in her bedroom in Brooklyn, in 2022⁠
⁠
Revisit our interview with the postal worker who grew up in South Carolina with her single mother. After having two kids of her own shortly after high school, she moved back to New York to take advantage of her familial support system in the city and leave behind memories of a destructive relationship. In this conversation, DeNeita talked to us about early motherhood, the physical ramifications of her job, and how her fashion sense has evolved over the years.⁠
