February 05, 2022 at 02:30PM Louboutin Angels is all about inclusivity Photography courtesy of Christian Louboutin“What I like about angels is that they don’t have gender but are still very sensual,” shares Christian Louboutin in a press release. “It appeared very natural to dedicate a collection to what I’ve named Our Angels.” Hence his latest launch, Louboutin Angels, an all-inclusive offering of fabulous heels, available in European sizes 36 to 46. As the brand’s broadest size range to date, the collection is all about individuality and takes inspiration from glam rock icons. A reason to celebrate, indeed!

February 04, 2022 at 08:53PM February is Black History Month. Although we at FASHION celebrate diversity all year round, we’d like to take this opportunity to specifically highlight the exceptional talent of Black designers, who still face barriers to entry, marginalization and a lack of representation in the world of fashion. It’s been over a year since protests against policy brutality that escalated across the U.S. and around the world triggered major changes across many industries, including fashion. In May 2020, Aurora James founded the 15 Percent Pledge, calling on retailers to pledge 15% of shelf space to Black-owned businesses. A month later, notable shoe designer George Sully launched the platform Black Designers of Canada to feature and celebrate Black talent across the country. And while we witnessed the overwhelming support of Black businesses at the height of the summer of 2020, our support must…

February 03, 2022 at 10:50PM It’s no secret that TikTok is a goldmine of life advice. From helping you build a capsule wardrobe to teaching you some unconventional (but effective) skincare hacks, the app is the gift that keeps on giving. But arguably, one of the best sides of TikTok is…BeautyTok. Gone are the days of watching 20 minute makeup tutorials on YouTube. BeautyTok is complete with quick mini how-tos, product recommendations and, best of all, honest content from real people (step aside, Facetuned Instagram influencers!). However, if you’re new to the beauty side of TikTok, it can be overwhelming. So fear not, if you’ve been loving BeautyTok’s product recommendations but don’t want to spend your money on a viral disappointment, allow us to help.

February 03, 2022 at 06:03PM Copenhagen Fashion Week (one of our favourite fashion weeks) is back for 2022! The city’s streets are abuzz again with industry insiders, fashion lovers, photographers and more for the Fall/Winter season. As per usual, the Danes take pleasure in dressing to the next level. Instead of succumbing to the cold and gloomy weather, they brought their style A-game to brighten up the mood (literally). Laid back yet edgy styles were on display, featuring this season’s brightest hues and unexpected colour combinations. If you’re looking for winter outfit inspiration or just want to see what the Copenhagen locals are wearing this season, you’ve come to the right place. Notable trends include statement coats such as Penny Lane-style shearling jackets, wide-leg pants, and headwear to keep out the rain and snow (think fluffy bucket hats, balaclavas, scarves and berets). From…

February 03, 2022 at 05:28PM For a small UK designer, Kate Middleton’s approval is about as good as it can get. Nicole Christie, founder of Glasgow-based sustainable luxury womenswear brand Ellipsis, can attest to this. After Daily Mail royal editor Rebecca English tweeted that the Duchess of Sussex eyed one of Christie’s dresses (a caramel number handcrafted in silk satin backed crepe with draping sleeves and high split cuts) on a royal outing, social media praise started to roll in. “I hope the Duchess of Cambridge will wear this beautiful dress,” one user wrote on Ellipsis’ Instagram. On Twitter, another lamented to English, “She’d look fabulous in both dresses. I wish I had the figure for them, they are stunning.” View this post on Instagram   A post shared by E L L I P S I S (@ellipsis.fashiondesign) The Duchess of Sussex,…

February 03, 2022 at 02:00PM Canadian lifestyle brand, Canada Goose, has been focused on uniting sustainability and values-based initiatives to “keep the planet cold and the people on it warm” through their HUMANATURE platform for a few years now. Rooted in HUMANATURE, Project Atigi—a collaborative undertaking aptly named with the Inuktitut word for parka—is back for the third year in a row. 2022’s installation of Project Atigi is especially exciting with the launch of the first-ever limited-edition women’s capsule created in collaboration with Canadian-Inuk designer, Victoria Kakuktinniq, honouring the legacy and traditions of Inuit design in Canada’s North. This collection features three limited-edition outerwear styles—the Heavyweight Parka, Lightweight Down and Wind Jacket. Kakuktinniq drew inspiration from her past and present experiences, her community, and the land she calls home—from the Northern Lights and the snow covering the Tundra to the gold shimmer along…

February 02, 2022 at 04:47PM Sex symbols. In our celebrity-fixated world, those who bear that title experience a different kind of public obsession. The story goes somewhat like this: a person is catapulted to viral fame after a private sex tape is released without their consent. What starts as a horrendous violation of privacy, though, results in them ultimately achieving icon status. Ring a bell? The familiar tale describes the lived experience of a certain billionaire beauty mogul, Kim Kardashian West. But before we watched her transcend from sex tape victim to pop culture icon, there was Pamela Anderson. While she and Kardashian West are very different in key ways, their career trajectories follow somewhat similar patterns. The Canadian-born Anderson, who starred in the series Baywatch and has graced countless Playboy covers, was the original celebrity leaked-sex-tape survivor alongside her ex-husband, Mötley Crüe…

February 02, 2022 at 04:09PM January is over, but we won’t be parting ways with winter anytime soon. As we await spring, it doesn’t hurt to indulge in some new beauty products to lift your weather-worn spirit. Whether it’s an addictive new scent (with a spring-like hue to boot), a glossy manicure in a pretty pastel shade, a brighter haircolour or a hard-working mascara that actually does curl your lashes for you, we’ve rounded up all the February 2022 beauty launches to help you remember that a new season is on the horizon…regardless of what Wiarton Willie has to say about it.

February 02, 2022 at 03:48PM A chainmail mini dress has long been the It Girl party uniform. But in 2022, we’re wearing flat-out armour. Quick history lesson: in 1999, supermodels Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss famously stepped out in coordinating Versace metalwear dresses. In 2002, Paris Hilton donned a thin-strapped, shimmery dress to her 21st birthday party. And over a decade later, Kendall Jenner, inspired by Hilton, wore an almost identical slip to hers. This past year, Angelina Jolie and Zoë Kravtiz donned floor-length slinky chainmail dresses to a red carpet premiere and the Met Gala, respectively. no thoughts just zoë kravitz at the met gala (2021) #MetGala pic.twitter.com/6wJOZCAIES — Stef ⚜️ (@sharmstyles) September 14, 2021 But what was once something only seen on supermodels is now becoming a fixture of everyday dressing. In lieu of glitzy mini dresses, we’re seeing reimagined chainmail…
