New in Advertising: Nadav Kander photographs pop star Lily Allen for the National Portrait Gallery

Singer Lily Allen rocketed to fame in 2005 with “Smile,” a breezy, sassy kiss-off to a former boyfriend, and since then, hardly a day has gone by that she hasn’t been splashed in the pages of the infamously caustic British tabloids. The Lily they portray is brash, unladylike (whatever that means), aggressive, a brat, and [...]

Abandoned homes and broken dreams: Lauren Greenfield on her photo essay “Foreclosure Alley”

In the three short years between 2004 and 2007, more than 360,000 homes were purchased in the area known as the Inland Empire, about two hours’ drives from Los Angeles.
