This Canadian Designer On Why It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive

May 02, 2022 at 07:50PM Cassie Germann’s brand, It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive, started as a kind of art therapy. “I called them ‘pandemic panic drawings,‘” says the former tattoo artist of her initial graphics. “In 2020, everything was so overwhelming that I would just sit and draw while listening to the news. Suddenly, I had all of this artwork that I thought would look great on a t-shirt, but the problem was, during the lockdown, nothing was open, so I was forced to work with what I had.” Enter daily trips to the dollar store for fabric paint and upcycling pieces from her own closet, and the Canadian sustainable brand was born. For Germann, It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive is a form of fashionable activism, hence the quirky yet powerful collages she creates on upcycled clothing. As a…

Lady Gaga Rocks a Cheeky Chain-Strap Bikini in Las Vegas

May 02, 2022 at 07:40PM It seems that blue is Lady Gaga’s favorite color this season. After wearing two dresses in light variations of the hue at the 2022 Grammys last month, the “Stupid Love” singer wore an aqua bikini over the weekend. While lounging poolside to celebrate the end of her Las Vegas residency on May 1, she matched the water in a two-piece with gold-chain straps. Gaga has worn chain-detail swimwear on multiple occasions in the past, and she’s once again displaying her dedication to the trend this year. As she revealed on Instagram Stories, the bikini top featured a front cutout held together by another matching chain. So, where did Gaga score this sultry swimsuit? As one eagle-eyed fan discovered, it looks exactly like a sold-out bikini from controversial fast-fashion retailer Shein. This would come as a surprise, considering the…

Dua Lipa Rocked a Cutout Jumpsuit & Stilettos in a Bathtub

May 02, 2022 at 06:55PM Dua Lipa turned a bathroom into a photoshoot set and managed to showcase a new outfit while she was at it. In a mirror selfie posted on Instagram, the singer posed with her friend and fellow Londoner Sarah Lysander in a black jumpsuit with keyhole cutouts lining the front. Embellished with tiny pastel blue bows, the details exposed her cleavage and midriff, while a halter neck showed off her shoulders and small arm tattoos. Lipa struck another pose in the second image of the carousel post captioned “bathtime stories,” offering a full look of the knee-length jumpsuit, which also features matching bows on the side. Her wavy hair, parted in the middle, cascaded past her shoulders. She opted for subtly glam makeup like orange lipgloss. The design is by Cormio, the label of Italian fashion designer Jezabelle Cormio,…

Fans Think Kim Kardashian Will Wear This Famous Marilyn Monroe Dress to the Met Gala

May 02, 2022 at 05:20PM The internet has a theory that Kim Kardashian will be wearing a gown from the late Marilyn Monroe’s closet to the 2022 Met Gala. The rumors first started to swirl when the 41-year-old star revealed she will not be able to tailor her Met Gala gown at all, which led everyone to believe that she was pulling a vintage piece from the archives. “I think it will be up to the last minute because it can’t be tailored, so I have to fit into it like exactly,” she revealed in an interview with “Access Hollywood” at the red carpet premiere of Hulu’s “The Kardashians” last month. When Kardashian and boyfriend Pete Davidson were spotted in Orlando, FL, visiting Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, the internet took that as another sign that she will be wearing Monroe’s iconic…

100+ Memorable Met Gala Looks That Lit Up the Red Carpet

May 02, 2022 at 04:31PM There is quite possibly no bigger (or more extravagant) fashion event than the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. Each year, the best and brightest of the industry come together to celebrate the museum’s new exhibit (it’s even referred to as the Oscars of the East Coast) - and celebrities, models, and designers bring their sartorial A-game to the corresponding red carpet. After a brief hiatus in 2020, the Met Gala came back in a big way last year with its “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”. This year’s theme and exhibition is actually a continuation of 2021’s tribute to the country’s history. The official 2022 Met Gala theme is “Gilded Glamour” and our mind immediately conjured up images of embellished gowns or suiting rendered in opulent fabrics. One such example we immediately thought of was Rihanna’s…

There Are No Rules in Amaal’s Futuristic Universe

May 02, 2022 at 04:33PM Amaal has been dreaming up a world of her own for some time now. For most of her life, the Somali-Canadian singer was constrained by rigid expectations of womanhood as a result of her conservative upbringing. She grew up in Toronto as the fourth of 10 siblings, after her family fled the civil war in Somalia in the 1990s. For years, Amaal felt the limitations of simply existing with a multitude of identities. But now, she’s created a vibrant universe that celebrates them in her sophomore EP Milly. The R&B artist spent many sleepless nights building vision boards on Pinterest to create her utopic universe. “I asked myself, ‘What would a world look like where people didn’t have to conform to the identities given to them?’” she recalls. Influenced by ‘90s and early 2000s futurism, Milly’s stylistic world is…
