Zendaya’s 13 Best Looks of the Year Explain Her History-Making CFDA Award

October 21, 2021 at 08:12PM Zendaya is the recipient of the CFDA’s annual fashion icon of the year award. At 25, she’s the youngest to join the list of honorees that includes Naomi Campbell, BeyoncĂ©, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez. The recognition comes at no better time, coinciding well with her impressive roster of films and achievements for 2021. She has Dune and Spider Man: No Way Home under her belt, and is the spokesperson for fashion brands Bulgari and Valentino, having made her debut for the latter house right before the new year. Zendaya’s work with Image Architect Law Roach has only continued to inspire awe as the duo have constructed outfits that pay homage to iconic moments - and people - throughout history. With every red carpet, Zendaya champions the designer she’s wearing, emerging or renowned, and perfects…

What is “Antiviral” Material and How Does it Affect COVID-19?

October 21, 2021 at 06:59PM Excuse me for stating the obvious, but the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything. From socially distanced IKEA shopping to Bumble’s new vaccination indicator, the virus has forced us to adapt in ways Back to the Future could’ve never imagined, including with our clothing choices. After being trapped indoors for months, most of us have realized that we either own too much clothing or not enough pieces that actually make sense with the changes to our daily schedules (hello, loungewear!). We’ve also become hypersensitive to touch, not just from others, but to subway handles, grocery carts and, yes, the clothes on our bodies. Should we immediately do laundry after running errands? What’s the risk of sitting on the sofa in the same outfit we wore on public transit? Is it safe to try-on pants in a fitting room? View…

Squid Game Streetwear Merch Has Arrived, Because It Was Only a Matter of Time

October 21, 2021 at 05:37PM And so the Squid Game takeover continues. Now that the Korean drama series has smashed Netflix’s viewership records, it’s only appropriate that the next stage in its worldwide domination journey would involve merch. Streetwear brand Emotionally Unavailable is treating us to exactly that: a killer Squid Game-inspired clothing collection, created in collaboration with Netflix. The range includes T-shirts, hoodies, long-sleeved shirts, and hats that pay homage to standout details from the show - minus the brutal murders and deception, of course. The creepy Red Light, Green Light doll makes a few appearances, as do the dalgona candy game shapes. The Emotionally Unavailable x Squid Game collection is now available for preorder online starting Oct. 21, and judging by the millions who have tuned into the series so far, we’re predicting a pretty speedy sellout. See and shop every…

Is Digital Clothing Fashion’s Ticket To Sustainability?

October 21, 2021 at 05:41PM In the age of fast fashion, TikTok shopping hauls and #OOTDs, we’ve come to associate style with an (overly) well-stocked wardrobe. Unspoken social media rules tell us that once an outfit is posted to one or all of our many feeds, we are never to be seen in it again. This culture inevitably plays into a hot-button issue in the fashion industry: the overproduction and overconsumption of clothing, one small solution for which may come via digital clothing. Zero10, a tech startup brand, is creating clothing exclusively for online spaces, and its efforts may address one piece of the waste puzzle by changing the way we think about clothes, instead of asking us to wear less. Launching on October 21, Zero10 is an iOS application that uses augmented reality (AR) technology to simulate garments from various brands onto…

If I Only Wear 1 LBD Ever Again, You Bet It Will Be Lori Harvey’s – PS: It’s $209

October 21, 2021 at 04:28PM It’s not unlike Lori Harvey to make me covet a few wardrobe staples every now and then, but when she stepped out for a House of CB event in West Hollywood, CA, I didn’t just add her dress to my “wish list.” No, let’s be honest, I got up to retrieve my wallet. This isn’t the first time the supermodel has shown she has an enviable night-out wardrobe and isn’t afraid to indulge in a strappy neckline that’s plenty sophisticated. Lori was appropriately dressed in House of CB’s Grazia Disco satin corset mini, which retails for $209 and fits cup sizes A-EE. The strings that set the bodice in place and highlight the bust also play into the Y2K halter trend, a look we’re seeing replicated on the latest runways. Harvey went with simple black sandals to complete…

Carrie Bradshaw’s Pink Granny Chic Outfit Has the Internet Equally Confused and Excited

October 21, 2021 at 01:44PM With every new teaser that circulates from And Just Like That’s costume design, we are increasingly confused and intrigued. On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 20, the digital fashion world was in a tizzy after a very camp image of Carrie Bradshaw in a head-to-toe granny-chic look took over our social feels - including a babushka scarf, pink gingham dress, and pink latex gloves - followed by a more elegant lehenga designed by Indian couture brand Falguni Shane Peacock. Spotted on the streets of New York City in front of her iconic brownstone, Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) seems to be in the midst of a fabulously tragic domestic situation. Holding a cigarette in one hand and her mobile in the other, Carrie wears a pink gingham “Snap” housedress by Batsheva ($125) that features puff sleeves,…

089: Balancing Fitness and Motherhood with Courtney Alcala

089: Balancing Fitness and Motherhood with Courtney AlcalaOctober 21, 2021 at 11:07AM Hi friends! Today I’m chatting with Courtney Alcala all about balancing fitness and motherhood. It can be tricky to do all the things, but she has some great tips and insight. Here’s what we talk about: – Balancing a corporate career, training, and life as a mom (her baby is 5 months old) – Her background in health and fitness – Behind the scenes of the bikini competition world and so much more. Here’s a bit more about Courtney:  Courtney received a double dose of determination and grit growing up as an Army brat. The child of an intelligence analyst and a Green Beret, she learned how to assimilate, make friends quickly, and do things that were uncomfortable at a young age. In her youth, she was very involved with youth…

We Seriously Recommend Starting Your Party Wear Search Here This Year

October 21, 2021 at 09:28AM It’s time, people! As of today it’s 65 days until Christmas which may seem like a lot, but that means it’s only about a month until party season kicks off. Crazy, right? We know most of you are still in end-of-summer mode (wasn’t it August yesterday?) but if we’ve learned anything from working in this industry over the years, it’s that preparation pays off. Not only do you bag the best bits, but you also avoid that panicked lunch-break dash on the day of the office party— which inevitably leads to an ill-fitting sale purchase you instantly regret the next morning. No, we’re all about more considered purchases now. And since brands have begun steadily launching their party collections, we thought it was time to start rounding them up and bringing you the best bits so you can get…
