At Allure, we get inundated with the latest and greatest beauty offerings every day. Most of it is exciting, some of it confusing, and sometimes it gets overwhelming, especially now that our homes have become our offices. Alas, that is the beauty editor’s burden to bear. When we really like something, you can trust that
RYKIEL’S RETURN: Sonia Rykiel’s brand reboot made its debut with an online presentation Sunday, showing leggy models in snug, knit tops in the label’s trademark stripes and HotPants, prancing around the ornate Palais Brogniart in Paris. Broadcast through Instagram, the video clip shows a sporty, youthful lineup of knitwear — short cardigans, loose sweaters, cropped
During this mostly digital fashion season, designers have gotten creative with format, making narrative short films, enlisting model personalities, big-name directors and “Saturday Night Live” celebrities to present and make noise with their collections. But not Tom Ford, out here in Hollywood; he let his clothes do the talking, releasing men’s and women’s look books
Remember when the closest thing to covering up a mysterious purple and blue bruise or the tiny wrist tattoo was with a glob of concealer or pantyhose that weren’t a very convincing skin-tone match? Luckily, times have changed. Beauty brands have heard the cry for body foundations good enough for even the oiliest of skin
There’s something fun about a workout bodysuit or one-piece. At first glance, it may seem impractical or a bit extra, until you remember that ballet dancers, gymnasts, and countless other athletes have been moving freely in leotards for as long as we can remember. Especially if you’re someone who loves workouts like yoga, barre, and
Coming to the UK as a teenager from Singapore wasn’t just an adventure; it was also a chance for me to develop a whole new look. My hometown is better known now for being the setting of Crazy Rich Asians, but back then it felt more like a sleepy backwater than a style destination. In
This week has been the first time this year that it has really felt like spring, and boy did we need it. The feel of sun on our vitamin D-deprived skin has been glorious after months of hibernating in our homes, and it’s got us looking ahead to the warmer months. It seems as though Instagram has
You can make an entrance and an exit declaring the same fashion statement with this MM6 Maison Margiela collection, which often exalts the back of garments by duplicating them in the front. A cape-backed and cape-fronted trench coat, get it? Naturally the show video – charming with its Parisian cabaret setting, circa the 1920s –
There used to be a time when all the new season items would arrive on the high street in the same week, if not within days of each other, however now the new-in sections are steadily updated and so are less defined by seasons. This means you might not have noticed that this week is when
Calm, centered, relaxing energy is what we’re aiming for in 2021. And what’s more relaxing than a quiet night in? When it comes to down time, Vancouver-based Vitruvi has it down to a science. Known for it’s iconic essential oil diffuser and signature blend of unique, aromatic scents, Vitruvi is taking wellness to a holistic
When it comes to hair inspiration, there’s one woman that always springs to mind for chic, low-maintenance hairstyles: Alexa Chung. Yes, ever since she landed on our TV screens almost 15 years ago, Alexa has pretty much been my hair muse. Beachy waves, sweeping fringes, choppy bobs—I’m here for every one of her hairstyles because, let’s be real, Alexa’s hair always
Please welcome Laurie Hernandez back to the floor! After a four-and-a-half-year hiatus, the 20-year-old Olympian made an exciting return to competitive gymnastics on Feb. 27 for the 2021 Winter Cup. Her Hamilton-inspired routine was a show of her strength, proving like Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote, she is inimitable and an original. Hernandez stepped back from the
Ever wonder what Meghan Markle wears when she’s just chilling at home? Well, we might have a little more insight thanks to a recent adventure James Corden took with Prince Harry in LA. At one point in their escapades, the Late Late Show host hopped on a FaceTime call with the Duchess of Sussex to
When you think of a cork, if you do, you probably think of wine stoppers, or maybe dartboards. But cork jars and compacts? Those are new. They don’t exactly glisten in a shelfie, but some sustainability experts are banking on cork to help shrink the beauty industry’s carbon footprint — a Herculean task considering that,
Noom is a popular diet plan that aims to help people not only lose weight but also develop a healthier relationship with food and sustain lifelong habits. But Noom isn’t like other programs on the market; it was created with the help of registered dietitians and mental health experts and uses cognitive behavioral therapy to
Cosmetic chemist Ginger King agrees. “It’s not a bad idea to disinfect everything. It’s better to be safe than sorry.” King also reassures us that it is safe to wear makeup at home — just as long as no one has borrowed your beauty products. She also advises that sharing your makeup, in general, isn’t
Lavinia Biagiotti chose another landmark location in Rome to stage Laura Biagiotti’s fall collection: the Ara Pacis, a symbol of peace and prosperity, and where the company in 2009 presented an exhibition of Giacomo Balla artworks belonging to the Biagiotti family’s collection. Partnering once again with Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera, the designer asked ballet dancer and
We’re big fans of matching sweatsuits, that’s no secret. As much as we love finding new, cute styles, we don’t always love the price tags that come along with them. That’s why we were so delighted to find a bunch of great matching sets at Target. The pieces are comfortable and adorable, but if that
Lorenzo Serafini put to good use his observations of the pandemic, in particular the impact the health emergency is having on schools and students, forced to digitally interact and be socially distanced. His fall collection pays tribute to an imaginary school, as the designer blended his own memories with those of a Victorian college, or
On his birthday, Gabriele Colangelo opened his Milan headquarters for private appointments. Getting a closer look at his chic, crafty fall collection – and all the intricate techniques he deployed to elevate his lean silhouettes – did even more justice to his work than the emotional video starring Malgosia Bela. This season, Colangelo twisted and
In recent years, Salvatore Ferragamo has become synonymous with elegant yet conservative collections, often with a bourgeois spirit. However, that type of attitude doesn’t really reflect the vision of Salvatore Ferragamo himself. The founder was a visionary from a humble background who plied a forward-thinking, revolutionary and highly creative approach to fashion. For fall, creative
Pregnancy and breastfeeding come with their own special set of joy and pain. You may find some satisfaction in buying new clothes, while dietary changes and opting for less adventurous activities may be less thrilling. Either way, there’s a lot to consider both pre- and post-baby — including what you put on your skin. You’re
MILAN – “Over 170 years, Bally has faced the good and the bad times, but it always had the capacity to adapt, evolve and be relevant,” its chief executive officer Nicolas Girotto said ahead of the company’s presentation of the fall 2021 collection during Milan Fashion Week. The Switzerland-based company is marking its 170th anniversary
Figuring out how to stay focused and organized while working from home is hard enough. Doing so with ADHD requires a few extra tips for staying productive. The lack of a structured office environment has thrown off pretty much everyone who’s had to transition to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Toss in an
Fresh off the opening of a new flagship store in Milan, Onitsuka Tiger decamped to the city’s digital fashion week. Building a bridge between the Italian city and Tokyo, where the brand is based, creative director Andrea Pompilio conscripted three Milan-based creatives to star in it, doing dance and art performances. They included Myss Keta,
While scrolling endlessly through your For You page on TikTok, a familiar face that you just couldn’t place may have popped up — perhaps it was the actress who played the teen version of Jenna Rink in 13 Going on 30. Like many of us, the social platform has not only become a form of
We’re living in very peculiar times. In a pre-pandemic world, attending a fashion show (or in the case of Christian Siriano, asking your BFF to walk in one) wouldn’t seem out of the ordinary, let alone potentially lethal. But boy, have things changed since. Yet the proverbial show must go on, and so it did
I want to start this by saying that just because there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that no one is really wearing skinny jeans right now, that doesn’t mean you have to get rid of them entirely. Fashion is fickle but it loves nostalgia and resurrecting trends, so it’s very likely that at some point in the
Dua Lipa’s little sister, Rina, has made her way into the spotlight thanks to the GCDS fall 2021 runway show on Thursday during Milan Fashion Week. Rina opened for the designer wearing an olive-green minidress with side cutouts, and of course, her older sis cheered her on by posting a video on Instagram. “SHE DID
