Mizrahi talks about creativity, fame, and combing through every design he’s produced for his first retrospective.
Isaac Mizrahi is the ultimate multi-hyphenate. The personable fashion designer currently hosts and designs for QVC. He guest stars on Project Runway. He writes television scripts (after all, he’s written for Broadway, cabaret, and his own one-man show). And on his off days? He sits down to work on his memoir. “It’s not easy, but I’m doing it,” he tells me over the phone.
There’s a wide range of behaviors you accomplish so automatically that you hardly realize when you do.
You swear you won’t wait until the last minute to file your taxes or turn in that term paper. You’re late changing the oil in your car. You tell your doctor you’ll take your medication, only to drop the ball when it’s time to refill the prescription. Sure, you mean well, but time after time your actions fall short of your good intentions.
With the Pure Cool Link purifier fan and its companion app, the company continues its foray into the Internet of Things.
Last year, Dyson released an autonomous robotic vacuum called the 360 Eye. Complete with a companion mobile app for iOS and Android called Dyson Link, the smart robot was the company’s first foray into connected technology and the Internet of Things. But it was, and remains, available only in Japan. Now, the company is unveiling another connected product, and this one is available in the U.S.
Even with Buffer’s commitment to full disclosure, the company found it was still paying women less than men. Here’s why.
Salary transparency is a great equalizer in theory; when everyone knows what everyone else is making, it’s hard for wage gaps to exist. In practice, it’s a bit more complicated and doesn’t always work as intended.
As work changes at warp speed, here are 2025’s hottest job sectors (and the skills you’ll need to work in them).
Two-thirds of Americans believe that, in 50 years, robots and computers will do much of the work humans now do. The World Economic Forum’s 2016 report, The Future of Jobs, estimates that 5 million jobs will be lost to automation by 2020 and that the number will keep growing. Jobs that once seemed like “safe bets”—office workers and administrative personnel, manufacturing, and even law—will be hit hardest, the report estimates.
Setting “implementation intentions” is about creating an automatic, specific response to each obstacle in your way.
In his 1999 bestseller, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Robin Sharma tells a story of a group of monks in India who, whenever they have a negative thought, make a treacherous hike to a large waterfall. They stand underneath the pounding, freezing water until the negative thought is “washed away from them.”
Office-space marketplaces like LiquidSpace use a different model to capitalize on the same trends that fueled WeWork’s success.
When PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) recently modernized the majority of its 83 U.S. offices, it added more common space and made each office smaller, reducing the space per employee by 30%. “More and more we are a virtual company,” says Toni Cusumano, a principal in the company’s global human capital practice. “People don’t go into our offices the way they used to. We’ve shifted down.”
New lighting plans on airlines are helping passengers adjust to new schedules. But how close are we to eliminating jet lag altogether?
When flight attendants start wheeling out dinner service on certain Singapore Airlines flights headed east, the cabin lighting dims to mimic candlelight. During dessert—though it’s still light outside—the cabin lights up to look like sunset. By the next morning, a few hours before passengers have to wake up, the lights simulate sunrise.
Ahead of the season-six premiere of Game of Thrones, the cast promotes its charity contest with Omaze by playing a surprisingly tough game.
WHAT: A surprisingly difficult game of “Sword Name or Metal Band” where some people who should really know better have to determine the provenance of titles like Oathkeeper and Savage Grace.
Could VR be for medicine what CAD was for architects?
I stand, a cyborg micronaut, in front of the biggest human heart any person has ever seen.
