Marc Jacobs Isn’t Hiding His Facelift

July 22, 2021 at 10:21PM There are very few certainties in life, but perhaps the most obvious one is that everyone gets older, plain and simple. The aging process doesn’t care how much time, money, and effort you put into staying eternally youthful. Sure, you can keep certain signs of aging at bay, but in the end, biology will always win. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Marc Jacobs (@themarcjacobs) Through a very candid (and perhaps a little graphic) selfie, fashion royalty Marc Jacobs gave us a glimpse into his own relationship with getting older. Dressed in a helmet-like array of bandages, pumps and tubes covering his head, the designer appeared to be in a hospital room. While most who see this photo would naturally come to an alarming conclusion, the caption nonchalantly reads “Yesterday” with the hashtags #livelovelift…

The 2021 Met Gala Has Some Very Gen-Z Co-Chairs

July 22, 2021 at 04:00PM This article was originally published on April 13.  Fashion’s biggest night had to be cancelled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the 2021 Met Gala is back. And while the show must go on, the star-studded fundraising event will look a bit different than it has in previous years. Here’s what we know about the 2021 Met Gala so far. When is the 2021 Met Gala? Traditionally, the Met Gala is held on the first Monday in May at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. That’s not the case in 2021, however. Instead, the event will be held in two parts: A smaller, more intimate ceremony will take place on September 13, coinciding with New York Fashion Week, which will hopefully also be able to occur live (instead of completely virtually, as it has in…

There’s a New Affordable Handbag Brand in Town and We’re Obsessed

July 22, 2021 at 12:00PM There’s nothing quite like seeing a celebrity wearing a cool new brand that you’ve never seen before. But it’s even better when you discover that it’s affordable. JW PEI’s bags have been spotted on the likes of Emily Ratajkowski and Gigi Hadid and influencers are also getting in on the act with Who What Wear favourite Lydia of @femmeblk also wearing one of the brand’s coveted bags. So what makes these totes so special? The bags are minimalist in design and never showy, however small details like a ruched handle or a new take on the baguette bag make them stand out. Perhaps its real selling point is its range of on-trend colours, with one 2021’s biggest colours, green, featuring prominently in its latest collection. Or maybe that it’s actually affordable with the priciest of the bags coming in at ÂŁ129. JW PEI…

Makeup Artists Say These 6 Moisturisers Will Age You in Reverse

July 22, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

I Turned 41 This Month, so I Had a Thread Lift—Here’s Why I Recommend It

July 22, 2021 at 08:00AM First of all, let me speak about the elephant in the room. At age 41, I am still young and have healthy skin (thanks to a stringent routine of cleansing, toning, treating, moisturising and sunscreening since age 14), and quite honestly, I feel better in my skin than I ever have. But there’s no denying the collagen depletion and bone loss that comes with age. Yes, that’s right. Apparently, bone mass peaks around ages 25–30 years and declines gradually thereafter in both men and women. Yay!  This is why I started having fillers at around age 37. (You can read my previous articles where I wax lyrical about liquid facials and lip fillers.) Now that I’m entering my 40s, I wanted to try something that didn’t just fill the depleted areas but that actually helped my own body generate its own collagen over time.…

It’s Here: The #1 Swimsuit Trend of the Year

July 22, 2021 at 08:00AM Summer holidays might not look how we’d like them to this year, but it doesn’t mean we can’t dust off our swimsuits and get ready for the warmer weather that lies ahead. Now, before you get too excited and end up spending all your money on the first cute swimsuit you see, let me share with you one of the only swimsuit trends I think you need to know this season: retro florals. I am officially convinced that if you’re going to be seen in one swimsuit trend this summer, make it retro florals.Retro florals entail any floral print that looks like it came straight out of the ‘60s, '70s, or '80s. The nostalgia these funky prints bring is what makes this swim trend feel fresh and different compared to your average floral-printed suit. To further sell you on this…

How to Wear Jeans, According to This 66-Year-Old Former Vogue Editor

July 22, 2021 at 08:00AM If you love fashion and in particular French fashion, then you’ll know who Carine Roitfeld is. Esteemed editor of Vogue Paris for a decade, she then went on to found CR her eponymous fashion magazine and continues to be held up as a bastion of classic Parisian styling. She is often photographed during fashion weeks wearing her signature formfitting outfits; usually a pencil skirt with a matching jacket or in a chic tux with a hint of a lacy camisole underneath. Jeans, if we’re being honest, haven’t been a regular feature of her wardrobe repertoire. But this week, the 66-year-old editrix surprised us all by getting on a pair of straight-leg blue jeans, and even she knew it would come as a surprise to some, stating on her Instagram post revealing said denim: “I also do jeans now.” While this is definitely quite…
