The Phluid Project aims to educate the world about the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming individuals. While it does offer consulting and employee training for larger companies, its shop is where it’s at when it comes to making a regular, outward statement about acceptance to those around you. The Phluid Project has
As I sit here trying to write about luxury fashion in the middle of a global pandemic and unthinkable economic crisis, I’m struggling with a bit of writer’s block. With shopping out of the question for so many people around the world these days, talking about high-end designers can feel odd, but as a fashion website, it’s
For years I’ve heard trainers and instructors tell me it’s not enough to run or cycle without lifting weights. Now, as someone who would pick a session of cardio over walking into a gym and reaching for dumbbells any day, this wasn’t exactly what I wanted to hear. I always assumed the reasoning behind this
I do not know what the Covid protocols were here — this was in Florida, for what it’s worth; go vote early, Florida! I’ve been textbanking y’all this week! — but let’s just assume they were stringent and scrupulous and look at some spangly outfits, shall we? [Photos: Shutterstock]
Ryan Reynolds may have just voted in his very first presidential election as an American citizen, and I’m thrilled to see him fulfill his civic duty, but I’m actually here to discuss his wife, Blake Lively — and, more specifically, her “shoes.” (More on the use of quotation marks soon, don’t you worry.) On Thursday,
Gisele Bündchen‘s career has taken her around the world several times over. Such is the life of one of the most recognizable supermodels in the world. But as we learned when we chatted with her recently, you’re most likely to spot Bündchen in Florida these days, or — if you mark your calendars for a
First off, I think this outfit is actually very cute on the erstwhile Joey Potter (as we going back to khakis as a people? I’m fine with that; just let me know). HOWEVER: I do not totally understand the top. I don’t mean that as a euphemism for “I hate the top.” I sort of
As a shopping editor, part of my job is spending hours on Instagram, mining for trends and new releases. For years now, I have noticed a consistent piece popping up in my feed by both personal friends and big-time influencers. This Rebecca Minkoff Janine Sweatshirt ($71, originally $88) won’t stop selling out every time it’s
Drew’s cosmetics business is still going, and I gather from this event that she’ll be selling her wares at CVS. Which, in Los Angeles, means every two blocks; CVS is our Duane Reade. There is one intersection where two of the four corners have CVSes on them. Anyway, Drew here looks delightfully Drew: chipper, colorful,
Beyoncé announced her second adidas x Ivy Park collection with a vivid graphic: “This is my park.” It was a message that alluded to the inspiration behind the colorful brand of athleisure and its evolution. Beyoncé’s new performance gear, footwear, and accessories — which are all size inclusive (XXXS-4X) and gender neutral — speak to
Hugo Boss stepped out of the box this year when selecting the winner of the Hugo Boss Prize, its biannual sponsorship award for contemporary artists. It has chosen Deana Lawson, a photographer, as the 2020 recipient. Lawson, who is American and based in Brooklyn, will receive $100,000 and her work will be presented in a
Kiko Kostadinov’s women’s wear designers, Laura and Deanna Fanning, are expanding the brand’s eccentric ethos in their third and final installment of their collaboration with Asics. The release of the Gel Teserakt is an embodiment of what the brand already represents within its ready-to-wear: strong, with a play on perceptions. Unlike previous drops, the designers
We talk a lot about good “basic” moisturizers at Allure — dermatologists love them for making skin glow without extras (like fragrances) that can cause sensitivity or dryness. La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Balm Intense Repair Moisturizing Cream fits the bill, and then some. The fragrance-free formula is perfect in its simplicity. It’s gentle enough that
A wave of unemployment hit the U.S. amid the coronavirus pandemic and public measures to get it under control and jobs in creative fields are no exception. While the U.S. unemployment rate is hovering around 8 percent, or more than 12.5 million people without jobs, compared to less than 4 percent in March, the rate
Maluma continues his fashion journey, this time stepping into fashion design. At Thursday’s Latin Billboard Awards, Maluma wore two looks, one he designed himself and the other an outfit by Pyer Moss that he and his stylist Ugo Mozie 3rd codesigned with Kerby Jean-Raymond. Maluma was honored with the Spirit of Hope Award for his
Parade’s underwear line has become such a hit over the past year because it encompasses the three key facts we all look for in a product: it’s stylish, flattering, and comfortable. To celebrate turning one, Parade is releasing a cute limited-edition collection aptly called the Birthday Collection. The brand caught everyone’s attention on Instagram with
Ever since I woke up bleeding the day before my 12th birthday, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with my period. Yay, I’m a woman! Boo, I have to deal with intense pain, mood swings, and more for the next several decades. Lately, it’s gotten worse. Nausea, digestive problems, painful cramps days before any blood would
Noah Cyrus is trying very hard to happen. Is it working? I’m sincerely asking. It’s possible that if I have to ask, I already have my answer — but I’m also very crotchety and I don’t listen to the radio because I’m never in the car, so unless they start using her songs in car
Tracee Ellis Ross has officially assumed her throne as the queen of suit style, so kindly join us in bowing down to her majesty. Just one day after pairing a cobalt blazer and pants with otherworldly yellow-soled sneakers, the Black-ish star rocked the coolest freakin’ power suit we’ve seen since David Bowie’s heyday for an
Courtesy of the subject; Hadid: BackgridGetty Images Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. When Glenn Martens’s models strode out on the runway, their upper thighs encased in fluffy tan tubelets, the front row did a double take. Were those…could those be…UGGs? Whatever your associations with the 40-year-old
However, there’s a lot of controversy surrounding this ingredient. (Though it’s often referred to as a “bleaching” agent, hydroquinone does not in fact bleach the skin. It inhibits the pigment-forming enzyme tyrosinase, thereby keeping new cells from darkening.) Research showed the benzene derivative, which the European Union banned for cosmetic use in 2001, could be
CAA Fashion has signed Carlos Nazario, who styled Lizzo and Naomi Campbell for the October and November issues of Vogue, becoming the first Black stylist to style editorials for the magazine in its 100-plus-year history, according to the agency. Hollywood’s new fashion player with a mission to change the industry has been on a signing
I can’t totally figure out why Sarah Hyland, late of Modern Family, was tapped to co-host the CMTs this year. ABC doesn’t own CMT — that honor goes to ViacomCBS — and she is not to my knowledge an aspiring country singer, so all I can think of is: She’s engaged to but more famous
Noah Cyrus made a statement in more ways than one at the CMT Awards, where she performed “This Is Us” alongside Jimmie Allen — but let’s start with that bikini bedazzled bodysuit. The look, embellished with rhinestones and crystals to resemble a G-string bottom and triangle top, comes custom from Saga NYC, which is a
There are no real rules when it comes to what time of year you should wear certain shades, but there’s something about the switch from summer to fall that inspires a shift to darker lipsticks. Rich plums, dramatic burgundies, bronze-y chocolates, and even straight-up black lipsticks are just a few of the deep shades available
Mercado Vicente is closing out Filipino American History Month with a pop-up dedicated to Filipino goods. The online index for Filipinx creatives, which was created by fashion consultant Jan Vincent Gonzales last spring, is hosting a pop-up, The Apartment, on Oct. 24 to Oct. 25. The Apartment will operate like a press day, showcasing designs
The Bachelorette‘s Clare Crawley wears a promise ring, or “self-love” ring, on her left ring finger, and she’s received a few questions about it since season 16 began airing. It seems some people are confused as to why she keeps it on her left hand, where one would wear an engagement ring. Clare is speaking
I wouldn’t call myself a shoe person, and so I have never been tempted to spend a lot on a designer pair of heels or anything you’d classify as really “special.” I get too many blisters and don’t take enough Ubers. There is one exception to this, however, as Proenza Schouler’s ankle boots, loafers and
Hari Nef is not your average campaign star. The 27-year-old actress, model, and writer has steadily rose to fame via Gucci runways,Transparent airwaves, and an aspirational Instagram grid that seamlessly weaves together high-brow references alongside unfiltered selfies so personal, they virtually place you in her inner circle. So despite casually dropping the word “parochialize” in
Thanksgiving typically isn’t a time to diet; you should enjoy turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie without guilt. However, if you are cutting calories, watching your carb intake, or going full-on keto, you might need to adjust your Thanksgiving plate, particularly when it comes to stuffing. The traditional Thanksgiving side dish is typically made with
