LFC x @artarena.world x @cultured_mag | October 2026
I’ve spent the past few months editing the inaugural issue of @artarena.world x @cultured_mag, and I could not be more thrilled to see it published and on newsstands.
Art Arena—and this magazine—celebrate how art and sport move people. They are two of the most prolific aspects of popular culture, and artists and athletes share a commitment to discipline, practice, routine, and the unique sacrifices that come with the pursuit of greatness.
Some incredible talent is featured within these pages, and gracing the cover is legendary skier @lindseyvonn, in a work by renowned artist @shereehovsepian. Vonn was styled by the incredible @andrewgelwicks and profiled by the brilliant @jazzloon.
Not a day goes by that I’m not incredibly thankful to do the work that I do, and this project could not have been a better fit for a woman who loves writing and magazines and sports in equal measure.
Endless thank you’s to @cultured_mag EIC @sarahgharrelson for your trust in me; to @iangmalone for being the absolute best person to work alongside; to @michijig, @isolde_brielmaier, @mickalenethomas, @amandagillentine + @kagawacolas—the one-of-one @artarena.world team; and to all of the writers, editors, photographers, and host of other creative talents who contributed. The smile on my face at the launch party says it all.

LFC x @onlynaturaldiamonds | Summer 2026
I’ve interviewed @russwest44 a few times over the years—including for @vanityfair + @voguemagazine—but unbeknownst to me, when we spoke for the Summer 2026 cover of @onlynaturaldiamonds, he had already played his final @nba game.
Our conversations have always been more about his illustrious wardrobe than his illustrious career, but given that he was coming of off his *eighteenth* season, I had to note some of his unreal stats before getting into that enviable watch collection (Rolexes, APs, Pateks, etc.); his first major jewelry purchase (the ring he proposed to his wife Nina with); and how minimal pieces balance his not-so-minimal clothing choices.
While this was largely a conversation about how one of the worlds best (and best-dressed) basketball players approaches jewelry, it inevitably morphed into one about Westbrook’s family; every interview with him always does. For years Westbrook has balanced the NBA with his clothing line, @honorthegift, and several businesses under @westbrookenterprises. When I mentioned how busy he must be with “basketball, family, and business,” he politely—but very matter-of-factly—told me that I had the order wrong: Family is first. Always.
It wasn’t surprising to learn that only piece of jewelry Westbrook is adamant about wearing every day is a necklace with the initials of his wife and three kids dangling from it. He of course owns it in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold—so no matter what he’s wearing, he has one to match.
Thanks a million Russ—for this interview; for all the ones before it; for eighteen incredible seasons of basketball; for encouraging so many people to wear whatever they want; for elevating the confluence of fashion and sports so many of us enjoy.
The last photo in this carousel is a picture I took right after the first time I interviewed @russwest44. September 6, 2013. His first season attending NYFW, my first season covering it. The Rag & Bone SS14 show. He was soon symbolizing a new era of NBA fashion, and years later, I was working with the extremely well-known editor he was sitting next to. Life is wild. | Link in bio

LFC x @vanityfair | Sports Issue 2026
2026 is undoubtedly the Summer of Sports, but it has really been the year of sports for LFC. You know the phrase “This is my Super Bowl”? Well, the Super Bowl *is* my Super Bowl, and I’m still not over the fact that I not only attended the 2026 @badbunnypr Bowl, but I did so for Vanity Fair, which is a byline homecoming for me.
For the VF sports issue, I wrote about the world of luxury sports tourism, through the lens of @onlocationexp—the official hospitality partner of the @nfl, @fifa, the @olympics and a host of other sports leagues and music festivals. For their clients, On Location curated a weekend that included @theofficialsting + @thekillers concerts; a Napa Valley brunch hosted by @edelman11 + @mrapinoe; access to a 50-yard-line lounge on game day; and a chance to be showered with confetti while the @seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy… for a price.
Thank you to @stephaniexdaniel for chatting about her On Location experience, to @tdepina23 for being the best SBLX host, and to all the brilliant minds at VF who helped bring this to life: Claire Howorth, @thunderwooddd, @maggiecoughlan, @dantijerina + @hillibuster. We must also discuss the fab @carlitosalcarazz cover by my love @eljosecriales; @vanderhoofy on @aja22wilson; and the extremely timely @k.mbappe moment. And a very special thank you to @guiducci. This VF era is magic, and I’m so proud to be a part of it.

LFC x @harpersbazaarus | July 2026
Over the past few months I’ve had the pleasure of working with Harper’s Bazar on a package of stories celebrating American style.
I traveled to Orange County to profile the women behind legendary boutique @amareesnewport; sat down with my fashion fairy godmother @bethannhardison as she recounted The Battle of Versailles; and interviewed @ethanjamesgreen, @jasonbolden, @genesiswbb, @christopherjohnrogers + @themissclairesullivan about their smallish town upbringings and big fashion dreams. It was all so much fun.
To @samiranasr, @lynettesaid + @danikwateng, thank you for your trust in me; this was such a delight to work on. There are many, many more gems in the package—everyone must go read them all. | (Had to throw in a #hearstelevatorselfie 💁🏾♀️)

LFC x @britishvogue | 💁🏾♀️ 🇬🇧
There are no words to describe the immense thrill, awe and pride I felt watching @venuswilliams and @serenawilliams dominate women’s tennis for the better part of two decades. The talent, the calm under pressure—the poise and confidence in space that didn’t want to welcome or accept them, but was forced to because they were so good. They were excellent. They were the best.
Upon learning that they’d be returning to Wimbledon, I had the opportunity to write about their impact on tennis style for British Vogue, and I jumped at it. Braids and beads, denim tennis skirts, lace dresses, designer tutus… their looks walked so that @cocogauff’s and @naomiosaka’s could run. This story was made so much better by the contributions of @amandamurray and @keshamcleod, two of the most insightful, important voices in fashion.
While I’m devastated that Serena had to pull out of her much-anticipated return to doubles with Venus due to injury, she never has to play another match in her life—she’ll forever and always be the goat of the game and on-court looks.
Thank you so much for the assignment @mahoroseward, it was such a fun one. | Link in bio

LFC x #OffBall25 | @offball 💁🏾♀️
(I was named to this list back in December, but we’ll get to my tardiness later!)
The thrilling 2026 @nba Finals has led to a lot of talk about bandwagon @nyknicks fandom. (I’m personally unbothered by this, because if you live in the greatest city in the world, you should be rooting for the home team.) But just so we’re clear, LFC is true to this, not new to this! Both of my parents were born and raised in Harlem, so I was a Knicks fan out the womb. It still blows my mind that my sports fandom has become such a big part of my career. Lucky me!
From writing @stefondiggs’s first-ever fashion feature for @coveteur, to my 2021 @vanityfair story on @nba players their stylists, to breaking the news that Angel Reese was going pro in @voguemagazine, I’ve had the privilege of covering the intersection of sports and fashion for over a decade, and I’m beyond honored that @offball recognized that work.
I didn’t post this when the list came out in December for two reasons: One, I was in Namibia and wifi in the Namib Desert and Sossusvlei Clay Pan is not very reliable. And two, as a writer, I’m never comfortable being the story; I prefer telling the story. But what @michhammond1, @offball_stone + Adam Mendelsohn are building with @offball is really incredible, and I’m so proud to be a tiny part of that world—among so many fantastic people that I admire. So better late than never, I suppose. And with the NBA Finals, World Cup, and Stanley Cup all happening at once, now felt fitting. Go Sports! Go Fashion!
