It began when the legendary Charles Frederick Worth, known as the “father of haute couture,” asked his wife to model some clothes he had designed.

They have also become part of pop culture, with models appearing on the covers of magazines, starring in films and TV shows, and trying their hand at all types of media....

Like it or not, shoes have the ability to make or break an outfit. While this can be fun for men with large shoe selections in their wardrobe, it can be a hard fact of life for those of us who make it through life with no more than one or two pairs. The good news is that you don’t need to blow your entire savings account on ten new pairs of shoes....

Most bedrooms have at least one awkward corner that is left empty simply because we aren’t sure how to use the space. Instead of letting it gather dust, view this corner as valuable real estate space that can be turned into a beautiful, functional feature. A few paintings and a floor lamp are simple things that can completely transform how a bare corner looks.

There’s no end to the adventures that await in America’s national parks.

The National Park Service has recorded record-breaking attendance at many parks in 2021, and there’s a very good chance that next year will see even more people hitting the road on their very own national park road trip....

Several chilling Mount Everest deaths are heartbreaking and gut-wrenching. Mount Everest sits between Nepal and Tibet. Over 300 people have died in their attempt to reach the top. Indeed, many of the dead bodies remain on the mountain....

Welcome to the modern age. One where sticks, leaves, pinecones, pellets, and other biomass can generate electricity while cooking your food at the same time.

From Kylmit’s moon dog beds to OTTE Gear’s Hawaiian Aloha shirt, part three of the 2019 SHOT Show coverage features a little bit of everything.
