Everyone Calm Down, We're Still Getting a Savage X Fenty Show

It’s New York Fashion Week: Do you know where your priorities are? Chances are, given all the trauma 2020 has wrought—in addition to far more time spent at home—you may have questioned why we’re even bothering with fashion at this pivotal moment.
