April 16, 2022 at 02:00PM Dior Beauty taps Sean Garrette as skincare expert View this post on Instagram   A post shared by SEAN GARRETTE (@seangarrette) Aesthetician and influencer Sean Garrette is Dior Beauty’s new U.S. skincare expert. Succeeding Joanna Czech, who was the first-ever to hold the role, Garrette is bringing with him a new perspective on the need-to-knows of skincare and beauty. The New Yorker has been in the beauty space for about a decade, beginning his career working at beauty counters, and eventually becoming a licensed aesthetician. As one of the top creators in the game with a following of over 88,000 on Instagram, he’s opening up new doors and shaking the industry. “I just never thought that I would have a career in beauty,” Garrette told WWD earlier this week. “I didn’t see a lot of male aestheticians —…

April 15, 2022 at 02:00PM While turning water into wine may require a holy spirit, April Gargiulo has managed to turn wine into a successful beauty elixir with her nature-loving spirit and her own faithful following. Her company, Vintner’s Daughter, based in Napa, California, produces only two all-natural products: Active Botanical Serum, which is formulated with 22 active botanicals, and Active Treatment Essence, which contains over 30. The serum, Gargiulo’s first creation, launched in 2013 and has since landed on endless “best of” lists and counts A-listers Hailey Bieber, Tracee Ellis Ross and Gwyneth Paltrow among her obsessive followers. “We focus on creating fewer and better products so we’re able to deliver the most incredible, beneficial performance,” says Gargiulo. “We stand behind that because we know it’s better for skin and better for the environment.” She recalls the particular pressure of trying to…

April 14, 2022 at 09:02PM My first visit to a beauty shop is one I’ll never forget. It was in Detroit, during one of many family day trips. That afternoon, my dad and brother were visiting their own grooming hub: a barbershop around the corner, where the bass of hip-hop, the boom of laughter and the buzz of electric razors blended into an intoxicating chorus. My mom grabbed my baby sister and me, and we walked until we reached a nondescript storefront with a sign that simply read “Beauty Supplies and Salon.” A window full of wig-wearing heads gazed blankly at passersby. Mom pushed the door open, and the chimes on the hinge announced our presence. I looked around, and with a sharp intake of breath I realized where I was—a Black beauty heaven on earth. My mother walked briskly down the aisles…

April 14, 2022 at 08:25PM If you want to make an impact with your sustainable fashion choices, look no further than denim: it’s known to be one of the most energy-consuming materials to produce. It can be difficult to find truly sustainable items, but it’s not impossible as more brands are adopting more ethical practices, from materials they source to how they manufacture and package their goods. Although each brand uses different methods to create their denim, there are a few steps that can make the items more eco-conscious. Natural fibres and dyes are often preferred when it comes to producing new garments, especially materials such as organic cotton and plant-based dyes. To help conserve energy and reduce the reliance on pollutive synthetics, Levi’s has launched a collection that uses natural dyes (with fruits, vegetables or minerals) and water-saving techniques. Brands such as…

April 13, 2022 at 03:55PM Coachella — merely the buzziest music and arts festival perched in the arid rift valley of Southern California — has returned after a two-year hiatus. At last, the crowd is once again gearing up with looks that toe the line of weird and cool… just the way we like it. But for an event that puts fashion and photographs hand-in-hand, there is no “last season’s festival looks” to reference or build off of. Expect to see the unexpected. The Party & The After Party pic.twitter.com/8gT2bF3x5j — Coachella (@coachella) April 6, 2022 Boho-chic once flooded Coachella Valley during these two momentous weekends. It’s embedded in the grandeur of Indio, California, where the festival is held. However, flower crowns, lace bralettes and Aztec prints aren’t fantastical enough for the smorgasbord of trends that were birthed during the dulling and unprecedented…

April 12, 2022 at 08:39PM Every day, it seems we inch closer to completely reliving the early 2000s. Low-rise jeans are back en vogue, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are happily engaged once more, and now, Britney Spears is pregnant again. For Britney, let’s petition to ditch the body-shaming this time around. On April 11, the pop legend announced that she is expecting her third child via an emoji-filled Instagram caption. She discovered the news while on vacation in Maui with her partner, personal trainer and actor Sam Asghari. “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back. I thought, ‘Geez, what happened to my stomach?’ she wrote. “So I got a pregnancy test … and, uh, well … I am having a baby.” View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Britney Spears…

April 12, 2022 at 06:12PM In case you haven’t noticed, clogs are having a moment – and we’re here for it. These ’90s “it shoes” have been popping up everywhere, from runways (Alaïa, Givenchy and Gucci to name a few), to social media, and even on the red carpet (Justin Bieber wore the Balenciaga Hardcrocs to the Grammy’s.) Although they may seem like a relic of the past, the folkloric footwear have been reimagined time and again with modern twists. This time around, designers chose rubber materials, unconventional colours and cozy textures as some of the ways to  update the traditional style.  Even if your aesthetic isn’t all about the ’90s, clogs make the perfect shoes for transitioning from spring to summer – they’re stylish and comfortable enough to wear all day long and easy to slide on and off. But they also…

April 11, 2022 at 07:50PM What happens when a billionaire heiress weds the son of Britain’s most fashionable power couple? A lavish affair to rival a modern-day Bridgerton ball ensues. Such was the case on April 9 when Nicola Peltz, daughter of investor Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner Peltz married Brooklyn Beckham, son of Spice Girl-turned-designer Victoria Beckham and retired soccer star David Beckham. The celebrations were held at the Peltz family’s luxurious oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The event was completely over-the-top, of course, with wedding festivities spanning the entire weekend and hosting nearly 600 guests, WWD reported. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by 𝓃𝒾𝒸𝑜𝓁𝒶 (@nicolaannepeltzbeckham) Peltz’s Valentino wedding gown required its own elaborate undertaking. According to Vogue, which obtained exclusive images and coverage of the event, the dress was a year in the making and…

April 09, 2022 at 02:30PM Ayurvedic skincare line Hymnologie launches in Canada Courtesy of HymnologieWhen dentist Jigyasa Sharma moved to Canada from India with her husband and two kids in December 2020, she was desperate to find natural and effective skincare products, like the ones her mother had been cooking up for her in the kitchen for years. “Throughout my teenage years, I struggled with really bad acne and my mom was always making these Ayurvedic recipes for me: picking fresh flowers and turning them into pastes and getting me to apply it on my skin,” reveals Sharma over Zoom. When she arrived in Canada, the idea of continuing that homemade and time-consuming tradition she grew up on seemed far out of reach being in a new country on top of the demands of a busy family and career. “That’s when the inception…
