Women’s Shoe Label Scarlett Chase Is Putting Orthopedic Comfort and Elegance on Equal Footing, Finally

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Sandra Powers Murphy cut her teeth on Wall Street,  started her own broker-dealer, published a book on marketing consulting, and otherwise stayed about as far away from the footwear industry as one can. Then, the mother of six experienced an awakening — in the form of a work trip to New York.  ”It was 7:00 p.m., and I really wanted to catch the last train back to Boston. It was pouring rain and there were no cabs, if you can imagine a time before Uber, and I was like, ‘The only way I’m making this train is by taking off my shoes and running the 10 blocks,'” Murphy tells Footwear News. “Which is literally what I did, and when I got to Penn Station, I thought, ‘Oh my God.

William Franklyn-Miller Brings a Young George Washington to the Screen

William Franklyn-Miller didn’t initially think he — a young British actor — was cut out to portray George Washington in a biopic.  ”When I got the audition, I was like, ‘There’s no way they’re gonna give it to an English guy,’” says Franklyn-Miller, the star of “Young Washington.” “But technically, he was part of the colony — so he was British at the start, even though he was born in what would become the United States.” Franklyn-Miller stars as George Washington in the coming-of-age biopic, which focuses on the founding father’s experiences pre-Revolutionary War. The film centers on his rise to leadership, and missteps, during the French and Indian War. “Young Washington” premiered at the Tribeca Festival ahead of its wide release Friday, timed to Independence Day weekend during America’s semiquincentennial year. Franklyn-Miller was recently in New York for an extended stretch of time, accompanied by his sister and brother, fo...

The Best Home Saunas for Optimizing Your Recovery and Relaxation This Season

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Saunas are one of the hottest (pardon our pun) wellness trends right now, and for good reason. These relaxation maximizers ask nothing of you: only to hop in, close the door, and enter a meditative state. Their plethora of potential advantages is precisely what’s making at-home saunas an increasingly popular home goods category, since heat exposure and sweating have been linked to improved post-workout recovery, stress reduction, deeper sleep, and mood elevation with regular use. According to Dr. Tania Elliott, a board-certified longevity and women’s health doctor, saunas can “give your heart a workout without moving a muscle, helping dilate your vessels to increase blood flow to the heart and brain,” which is where the cardiovascular component of saunas’ rolodex of benefits stems from. ...
