Prada's New Perfect White Shirt
Clean, classic, and versatile, a white cotton button-down should be a closet cornerstone. This one from Prada is made of woven poplin for a textured construction that's distinctive and durable. Its slim cut makes it an ideal partner for a suit, but it works as well under a V-neck sweater or a buttoned cardigan. Or wear it alone and just roll up your sleeves. Shirt ($420) by Prada. Jeans ($70) by Levi's. Also on Details.com Upgrade Your Shirts and Ties The One-Button: The Only Suit to Buy This Season 6 Essential Looks for Spring

A billionaire hiring his son-in-law to design a museum sounds like a bad idea, but the art palace Rem Koolhaas disciple Fernando Romero created for telecom mogul Carlos Slim is an architectural marvel. Opening this spring, Mexico City's Museo Soumaya (seen here in a rendering) will house Slim's 66,000-piece collection, but the building itself, with its hourglass shape and aluminum honeycomb facade, may be the greatest artwork of all. soumaya.com.mx Also on Details.com The World's Newest Design Galleries The Can't-Miss Street-Art Exhibit Artist Francesco Vezzoli's Experiments With Fame

The Gay Parent Trap
The fastest-growing constituency in No Kidding!, the 27-year-old social group for childless people, isn't germaphobes or those who can't conceive. It's gay couples—the one demographic that, until recently, never felt any social pressure to procreate—says Laura Ciaccio, the organization's spokesperson: "Changes in their culture over the last decade have necessitated them joining because they feel ostracized in their community." With more same-sex partners adopting or conceiving with surrogates, their child-free peers are seeking solidarity. Talk about role reversal: As heteros reject breeding in favor of freedom and flexibility, gays are looking to build traditional families. —Brian Frazer Also on
