Take Note—These Are the 6 Makeup Rules French Women Swear By

November 12, 2021 at 06:30AM We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’OrĂ©al, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is. But wonder no more because we’ve reached out to French makeup artist Ewa Ciezkowska to uncover the six makeup tips French girls…

This Is What the High Street Is Getting Right This Winter

November 12, 2021 at 06:00AM A couple of the Who What Wear editors and I were discussing the high street's A/W 21 trends the other day, and the main thing we noted was how similar they were to last year’s offering. And you know what? It really is a breath of fresh air. Scroll through any new-in category right now, and you’ll see plenty of cold-weather heroes: puffer coats, chunky boots, crew-neck knits and clean-lined tailoring.

November 11, 2021 at 10:04PM Considering the industry’s slow progress on championing Black representation, last night’s ceremony offered a glimpse into a more inclusive future. Black designers had a big night at this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards. They took home a range of prestigious awards, a testament to the breakthrough fashion moments they’ve orchestrated this year. From Telfar Clemens’s numerous successful collaborations (most recently with the sage bag that made its Insecure debut) to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s much talked about “Tax the Rich” dress designed by Aurora James, Black creatives were at the center of many of 2021’s biggest moments. Last June, as demonstrations against police brutality swept over the world, the CFDA announced a series of initiatives designed to “place Black talent in all sectors of the fashion business and help achieve a racially balanced industry.” Considering the industry’s slow progress on championing…

November 11, 2021 at 08:23PM If you love fashion like I do, nothing is more admirable than seeing a person wear their clothing with confidence. No matter what that looks like to you, the feeling is mutual - when you’re rocking something that speaks to your personality, mood, or energy, your self awareness shines through.
