The New Yorker Celebrates 100 Years
On Tuesday evening, Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly were sitting at a sidewalk table outside Jean's, a chic night spot in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Nearby, writers, critics and cartoonists streamed past a black rope and a bouncer to attend The New Yorker's 100th anniversary party.
Mr. Spiegelman, the graphic novelist who has been a contributor to the publication since 1992, puffed on a slender e-cigarette. Ms. Mouly, the magazine's longtime art editor, took in the scene. The two have been married almost 50 years.
'The New Yorker is the last of its kind standing, and tonight we're celebrating that,' Mr. Spiegelman said. 'I still remember meeting the great writer Joseph Mitchell in the magazine's hallway. I felt like I was in the presence of a monument.'
Ms. Mouly, who recently curated a centennial exhibit of the magazine's covers for L'Alliance New York, a French cultural center, also reflected on the big night.

I stopped by the local Asian market, saw the Tteokbokki, and it all clicked bringing in those known flavors and old memories but making them ours. I leaned into the process, bringing in the Filthy Animal edge and letting the dish come together with our mother house sauce, Mala.

How to stream ‘Jaws' (and all the sequels) this weekend
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Advertisement 'Jaws 2' Picking up four years after the events of the first film, 1978's 'Jaws 2″ sees Amity Island facing another killer shark threat. While Spielberg did not return to direct the sequel, with those duties going to French director Jeannot Szwarc, it did feature the return of Scheider, who reprises his role as police chief Brody. Lorraine Gary, who plays Brody's wife Ellen in 'Jaws,' also returns, as does Murray Hamilton as the infamous Mayor Vaughn. Available on Tubi through Saturday; streams on Peacock beginning Sunday Advertisement 'Jaws 3-D' Directed by Joe Alves, the second sequel, 1983's 'Jaws 3-D' (or just 'Jaws III' if you've left your red and blue glasses in the '80s), ditches Amity Island for SeaWorld and a new cast of characters facing their own fishy situation. Dennis Quaid stars as Mike Brody, the son of Scheider's character, an engineer at the theme park who, along with girlfriend and biologist Kay (Bess Armstrong), face off with — you guessed it — a massive shark that's infiltrated SeaWorld. Thankfully, they get a little help from the park's resident dolphins, Cindy and Sandy. Available on Tubi through Saturday; streams on Peacock beginning Sunday 'Jaws: The Revenge' The fourth film, 1987's 'Jaws: The Revenge' directed by Joseph Sargent, is the laughable last entry in the saga. Despite its poor reception from critics and fans, it does feature an interesting main cast, with Gary reprising her role as Ellen from the first two films, while Oscar winner Michael Caine plays franchise newcomer Hoagie. Following the death of her son from yet another shark attack on Amity Island, Ellen (now a widow) absconds to the Bahamas to be with her family in mourning. However, a shark with a familiar set of teeth is there looking to exact some sweet revenge.

Outdated millennial fashion staple could be poised for a comeback /
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2010s called, and they want their dresses back. The club classic bandage dress has officially returned to the fashion zeitgeist, with celebrities and influencers stepping back in time to embrace the skintight silhouette. The body-hugging dress—made of intersecting strips or panels resembling bandages—first debuted on the runway in 1992, after its invention in the 1980s by French designer Hervé Léger. The iconic style quickly became a staple of early 2000s and 2010s nightlife, made famous by stars such as Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Beyoncé, and Victoria Beckham. Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber have recently been spotted in the sleek silhouette—and even Pippa Middleton was seen in a variation of the formfitting look, signaling that the trend is back in rotation. File photo: Kaia Gerber poses at Princess of Wales Theatre on September 12, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario.

Getty Images Entertainment/Sonia Recchia / Stringer Jennifer Johnson, founder of True Fashionistas—the largest lifestyle resale store in Florida—has observed this revival firsthand. She told Newsweek that demand for bandage dresses has surged. "Every time we get one in, it sells rather quickly." Johnson noted that customers are increasingly signing up for the store's wishlist for Hervé Léger. "Fashion always recycles itself, and it's time for the bandage dress to have its day again," Johnson said. "We've gone from having a lot of flowy, floral, and very girly looks to people being tired of that aesthetic. They want to show off their figure and look sexy again—and I think that has played a large part in why this dress is back." File photo: Victoria Beckham poses at Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at the New York State Armory on September 10, 2007 in New York City.

Djamilla Rosa Cochran/WireImage Johnson added that Gen Z is driving much of the demand, describing them as a generation that embraces both current and throwback looks. "This generation is very concerned about sustainability, and perhaps that's why we are seeing these dresses become so popular on the resale market," she said. "The price may also be part of it, considering the cost of a new dress is upward of $1,000. House of CB, a popular U.K.-based fashion label known for curve-accentuating evening wear, announced its own return to the trend with a new collection. In an Instagram post shared last week, the brand launched its new collection: "Bandage is back and better than ever." On its website, House of CB added, "We heard you OG's—our iconic House of CB silhouette is back. Your favorite bandage dresses are contoured to perfection and ready for the dance floor." However, not everyone is a fan. Georgie James (@georgiejxmes) tried on the new collection and shared the results on her TikTok page, amassing more than 1.7 million views. She said she felt the tight silhouettes suited only skinny and hourglass figures. James told Newsweek: "I think it's an attempt to return to a time that feels simpler in hindsight. The decline of the nightclub, to many feels like a decline in fun in general, especially with the emphasis nowadays on living 'clean'; clean makeup, clean food, etc. "The bandage dress resurgence is an attempt to return to fun. I fear that ship has sailed somewhat, and the bandage dress definitely doesn't suit a wide range of figures, as I demonstrated. But I can't begrudge the attempt." The resurgence of the bandage dress has pleased nostalgic millennials elsewhere on social media. One user posted: "I love bandage I was that girl wearing bandage dresses all the time." Another wrote, "The 2010s are back!!" while a third commented: "Bandage dresses being back is a recession indicator." TikTok creator Grace summed it up: "It's 2009. I've squeezed myself into an H & M bandage dress. My side fringe is blocking my vision. Stilettos on, I'm ready to hit the club in my business casual blazer. Life is good."
