This Is the One Hair Trick That’ll Hold Your Waves All Night

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM Until maybe two years ago, no matter what I used to curl or wave my hair, I could not get the style to stick around for longer than a couple of hours. It was such an issue, and no matter if my hair was relaxed, natural and pressed, or in a weave, the wave would always drop. Before heading to my party or event, I would spray on a ridiculous amount of lacquer until my strands were crisp tendrils, and then at least the style would hold, but my hair would look and feel so dry. I know it’s a problem a lot of my friends, no matter their hair texture, face too. How do you actually make waves last?It wasn’t until maybe my third year covering hair at fashion weeks and working with salons and stylists every single…

The In-the-Know Brand That Is Going to be Big in 2022

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM It was a single coat by Swedish fashion label Rave Review that first caught the attention of the Who What Wear editors back in 2019. Coming in a traditional plaid check in rich autumnal hues of red, yellow and green, we were struck by its originality that somehow felt both nostalgic and innovative—and that was before we knew it had been made out of old blankets. We couldn’t quite believe that anything that chic could have been upcycled. Oh how wrong we were.Founded by Josephine Bergqvist and Livia SchĂĽck in 2016, Rave Review made its debut at Paris Fashion Week in Spring 2018. It quickly won-over the fashion elite with its bold patchworked designs and radical production methods that saw pieces crafted out of deadstock fabrics (including bed sheets, blankets and scarves) and second-hand clothes. While the brand’s plaid blanket coats have become a signature, each collection is eclectic is its…

Euphoria and its Influential Fashion is Back

December 21, 2021 at 11:26PM Who doesn’t want to dress like the girls in Euphoria? The characters’ over-the-top outfits — though completely unrealistic for high school attire — exemplify the uniquely Cool Teen aesthetic of Gen Z. Since the HBO series’ premiere in 2019, its leads have become undeniable style symbols. And after delays due to COVID-19, the girls are finally returning to our screens on January 9. Euphoria released its official trailer for season two on December 20, and the students of East Highland High are just as fashion-forward as ever. The Sam Levinson drama follows five main characters — Rue Bennett (Zendaya), Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer), Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie), Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney) and Kat Hernandez (Barbie Ferreira) — as they stumble through teenagehood, enduring heartbreak, addiction issues and questions of identity. The new trailer promises the return of the…

December 21, 2021 at 10:04PM Content warning: This article includes mentions of sexual violence. And Just Like That… has firmly placed Chris Noth in our collective consciousness yet again. In reprising his role as Sex and the City’s Mr. Big, Noth became a major focal point for viewers of the HBO Max reboot, but his resurgence in the post #MeToo era has stirred up allegations of sexual assault.

On December 16, The Hollywood Reporter published the stories of two women who respectively approached the publication earlier this year. A day later, the Daily Beast published allegations from a third woman.

These 7 Celebrity Stylists Are Moving Fashion Forward for Young Hollywood

December 21, 2021 at 08:55PM Young Hollywood put their thoughtful approach to dressing on display at premieres and award shows throughout 2021. If you were pay attention, you likely noticed that the stars having conversations about their red carpet looks are talking about more than the obvious “who are you wearing?”. The younger generation has shown time and time again that they care about where their clothing comes from and especially whether it has historical meaning or pays homage to an icon before them. Of course, their stylists are instrumental in bringing such statements to life, putting in the research to construct an outfit that is representative of their client’s identity and culture. More often than not, they’re also searching for archival pieces that can be repurposed for an event, rather than buying new materials and leaving a carbon footprint. And, as all…

All Hail Zendaya, the Queen of Fashionable Spider-Man References

December 21, 2021 at 07:30PM Zendaya’s Spider-Man: No Way Home press tour outfits confirm she not only understood the assignment, but also submitted it early with ample extra credit to boot.
