We Need to Keep Talking About the Lack of Size Diversity at Paris Fashion Week

October 13, 2021 at 08:35PM From memorable celebrity sightings (Hi Cardi B, Halle Bailey, Blackpink’s Jisoo, and Lori Harvey) to the chicest street style moments, Paris Fashion Week gave us plenty to rave about. Not to mention the highly photographed runways of enviable looks that set the trends we will soon welcome into our spring wardrobes. What was noticeably missing from the runway is a representation of different body types. While we saw everything from a ‘60s comeback with Dior’s party-ready ensembles to a y2K revival with Blumarine’s low-rise jeans and tiny cardigans, what was noticeably missing from the runway is a representation of different body types. We spotted Precious Lee at Lanvin and Balmain, Devyn Garcia at Chloé, and Paloma Elsesser at Chloé and Coperni, but these instances of plus-size visibility were few and far between, almost bordering on tokenism. Too many…

From The Perfect Denim To Everyday Accessories – These Latinx Fashion Brands Have It All

October 13, 2021 at 08:25PM We all have those tried and true household fashion brands we love to shop, but if diving into the interwebs as a fashion editor, or even simply as a fashion enthusiast teaches you anything, its that there are a wealth of smaller or new brands to discover. When you find them, they’re oftentimes so good they’re just begging to be shared. The unfortunate nature of the fashion industry is that small brands and minority-owned brands often go hand and hand due to the lack of exposure for them. But underexposure (which we’re here to change), is not to be confused with lesser quality – in fact, there’s a long list of Latinx-owned fashion brands you shouldn’t go another day without knowing. While it may be Latinx Heritage month, brands helmed by Brown creatives deserve a spot in your…

TikTokers Are Recreating Looks From Squid Game Just In Time For Halloween

October 13, 2021 at 08:10PM Squid Game fashion is having a moment. Yes, you read that correctly. The gory horror series that has taken the internet by storm is now influencing people’s wardrobes. First, some background. Netflix’s most popular TV show to date, the Korean thriller follows a group of debt-ridden citizens who compete in a series of high-stakes children’s games for the chance to win a life-changing cash prize. However, don’t be fooled by this simplistic synopsis. The nine-episode journey is a mix between the plot of The Hunger Games and the violence of a Quentin Tarantino film, as a game of marbles can result in a shooting spree with masked VIPs cheering in the background. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by HoYeon Jung(Chung) (@hoooooyeony) While the series has quickly become a must-see, Squid Game costumes are similarly…

All The 007 Merch That’s Coming In Light Of No Time To Die

October 13, 2021 at 08:03PM Since the first James Bond film Dr. No was released in 1962, 007’s sleek attire and shiny weaponry emitted a top-tier sense of luxury. And with each new film, viewers are enthralled by the high-tech gadgets and superb fashion statements the spy sports. James Bond is more than a franchise — it’s a cultural phenomenon, rediscovered and beloved by generations of people since the character’s creation by author Ian Fleming. The latest, 25th film in the franchise, No Time To Die, is especially meaningful, as it marks Daniel Craig’s fifth and final performance as the leading man, and the introduction of the first Black woman to play 007, with actor Lashana Lynch tapped for the celebrated role. The return of James Bond reminds us of the extravagance we all feel while ogling over the luxury aesthetics that have…

Insecure Season 5 Is Already Giving Us Some Serious Outfit Inspiration, and It’s Not Even On Yet

October 13, 2021 at 07:40PM Issa’s romantic life - not to mention her friendship with Molly - hangs in the balance as we head into the fifth and final season of Insecure. We’re not exactly OK with waiting it out (why does Oct. 24 still feel so far away?), but comforted by the fact that we are getting a sneak peek at Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany’s latest looks. In new stills from the show, we’re treated to a glimpse of the girls, styled in easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and new Bottega for Molly. These covetable, albeit relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who takes the helm of the show’s wardrobe again for the last season. Inside, you can expect more of the contemporary cool, high-low mix Shiona’s…

Did Apple Watch’s Fitness+ Meditation Classes Cure My Insomnia?

October 13, 2021 at 04:08PM I’ve tried a lot of things in my life to help me sleep. I’ve tried herbal tinctures, weighted blankets and many meds. I’ve tried quitting caffeine, taking cannabis, doing cognitive behavioural therapy, getting acupuncture and paying a nice lady to hypnotize me into a stupor. While all of these things help some of the time, I’ve basically spent countless hours of my adult life lying awake at night or worrying that I will soon be lying awake at night. While my sleep battles have been going on forever, these days I can also add sudden nonsensical fits of blinding perimenopausal rage that leave anyone who dares move my coffee cup — WHO DOES THAT?! — quivering in their wake, plus the exciting development of brain-scrambling panic when I get overwhelmed by deadlines, to my high-strung repertoire. So when…

A Boa Scarf Made Out of $100 Bills? You Know What They Say . . . Leave It to Gaga

October 13, 2021 at 05:43PM Lady Gaga headed back to Las Vegas to continue her residency on a private plane, as one does. After spending time filming House of Gucci and making several appearances to promote her new album Love For Sale alongside Tony Bennett, she clearly has reason to celebrate. Let’s just say Gaga appeared to be on cloud nine, or, um, cloud 900,000 if you count up the $100 bills that make up her kitschy cash boa scarf. It’s an item we’re not surprised she’s worked into her outfit, and one you, too, can readily shop on Amazon. But Gaga’s full look came complete with all the high-end, luxury essentials: a Magda Butrym polka-dot dress with detailed ruching and ruffles - how very ‘80s! - cat-eye Valentino sunglasses, and an Hermès Kelly bag in hot pink. “Back to Vegas baby with…

The Colors That Dominated the Fall 2021 Runways Are Here

October 13, 2021 at 05:32PM To put it plainly, last season’s collections were cautiously optimistic. Designers stuck to basic silhouettes and a serene color palette of soothing powder blues, sage greens, and mellow corals for the most part. The result was like the Calm app in clothing form: a comforting sartorial message of hope amid a (very) turbulent year. And for the fall/winter 2021 season, that hope remains a constant with classic, muted shades like soft grays (as chic suiting at Vetements) and frosty pale pinks (as a bejeweled dress at Erdem). But the most startling difference this go-around is the blatant, unadulterated joy in the pieces, which manifested in bolts of brilliant yellows, fiery reds, and fuchsia - colors so fiercely bold and feminine, they could almost be seen as an affront to the sweats we’ve been living in for the past…
