RECENTLY, MY SIX-YEAR-OLD NIECE, Lorna, who lives in southwest Ireland, lost her first tooth. She told me all about it on FaceTime, proudly pulling her lip out to show me the gap and holding up the pearly white nub that she was going to tuck under her pillow that night. “I asked the tooth fairy for more than the going rate of two euros a tooth,” she said. This was right before the midterm elections here in the U.S., when everyone seemed pretty uncertain about the future. But at that moment I felt nothing but optimism—she’s only six years old, and she’s already negotiating for better pay. (She got three euros, she happily reported back.) January is always a time for fresh starts and new goals. And while we all hope…

WE, AS WOMEN, HAVE INCREDIBLE spending power, shelling out more than $159 billion on clothing in 2017, according to a study by the NPD Group. Now imagine that much power put behind women-led businesses. Great idea, but to do your part, you’ll need to do some research to figure out which brands have women at the helm. That reality gave Rebecca Minkoff an idea; she wanted to make it easy to spot these companies. So last fall she launched The Female Founder Collective, along with a simple logo that businesses can use on social media, shopping tags, and store windows to let shoppers know they were founded by women. Already 1,000 companies in the United States have signed on. The collective started small, with fashion brands like Catbird and Universal Standard,…

SOMETIMES YOU NEED A NEW direction. A clean slate. A fresh start. That’s the feeling that prompted Danita Short to quit her job as an E.R. nurse in Canada and move to Los Angeles.

Her vision came to life when she met Christian Juul Nielsen, a former design director for Oscar de la Renta and designer for Christian Dior Couture. At their first meeting in the fall of 2016, Short described her love for practical, unfussy clothing and hitting the road on her motorcycle; Nielsen knew how to translate her passions into biker-chic apparel. By the end of the conversation, their clothing line, Land of Distraction, was born. Despite what its name suggests, Land of Distraction…
