L'Oreal Paris

- January 21, 2018

L'Oreal Paris is breaking barriers and making history by featuring a hijab-wearing woman in a hair campaign. British beauty blogger Amena Khan donned a pale pink headscarf while standing in front of a bright pink background in the haircare ad. "Whether or not your hair is on display," she says in the ad, "doesn't affect how much you care about it." "How many brands are doing things like this? Not many," Khan told Vogue UK on Sunday. "They're literally putting a girl in a headscarf — whose hair you can't see — in a hair campaign. Because what they're really valuing through the campaign is the voices that we have." Khan can add being a model for a mainstream hair campaign to her list of accomplishments. She's a L'Oreal ambassador, YouTube vlogger, co-founder of Ardere Cosmetics, designer of her own line of headscarves and she juggles all this while being a mother. Inspiring others "I

What people are talking about today: CVS is getting body-positive: The drugstore giant says it's cracking down on photo-shopping of beauty imagery it uses in stores, online and in marketing materadd ials. It created a heart-shaped insignia – which it calls "CVS Beauty Mark" that it will stamp on images that have not been significantly altered. The goal is to have its own brand's beauty images free of touch-ups by April 2019, it's putting pressure on its suppliers to join in, as USA Today reports. "The nation's largest drugstore chain will also require other makeup and beauty brands that sell products in its aisles to commit to a photo-manipulation ban by 2020 or face having an alert label placed on the images," USA Today says. It's feasible some beauty brands could be squeamish about showing model's pores and wrinkles. (Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and Coty, any thoughts?) But seriously, how many consumers will object to this?

Memorable gowns of 2017

- January 02, 2018

With the spring/summer 2018 collections accommodating for the red carpet more than ever, there's no denying Hollywood's impact on fashion over the last 12 months. Bella Hadid in Ralph & Russo No-one does barely-there event dressing like Bella Hadid. In the year she turned 21, the model continued her crusade as one of the red carpet's most daring. This number by British couturiers Ralph & Russo blurred the line between lingerie, jewellery and gown, resulting in a head-turning option that could slot so effortlessly in few others' wardrobes. Gigi Hadid in The Row If her sister's most memorable red-carpet moment has barely-there dressing at its centre, this Hadid has a moment created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to thank. More demure, less flesh, equally fabulous - this felt new for the 22-year-old and a step into the simple territory the Vogue cover girl should revisit more in the 12 months to come. A well-made match, Mary-Kate previously told

Is Rihanna Womanspreading her way into world dominance?

- December 30, 2017

The year 2017 is definitely Rihanna’s year, and we’re just living in it. From Fenty Beauty, Harvard's Humanitarian of the Year award, the only correctly dressed attendee of the Met Gala, Ocean’s 8, the silencing of body shamers, the Barbados Crop Over festival outfit, a sixth ELLE cover (plus Dazed, Vogue Paris, Harper's Bazaar, Paper, and Vogue Arabia covers), it looks like there is literally nothing the #BBHMM singer can’t do. So how does one sit on top of the world? By converting the problematic manspread (shoutout subway riders!) into her own. You don’t have to stress yourself digging deep into Rihanna’s Instagram to find dozens of photos of her taking up the entirety of where she’s sitting and often spilling out into the surrounding area. The #BBHMM singer is Rihclaiming her space. Womanspreading as you know it, is not a completely new concept. The hashtag on Instagram boasts around 1,632 posts, including one from supermodel Bella Hadid. But Rihanna

A.P.C.'S 30years In Fashion Unnoticeable But Eventually Remarkable

- December 27, 2017

PARIS, France — “Hysterically normal” was the electronic message that flashed behind the models during A.P.C.’s presentation for Spring 2017. For once in his company’s 30-year existence, Jean Touitou was in the fashion vanguard. The men’s collections for Autumn/Winter 2017 just finished in Europe elevated the normal, the real — almost hysterically so — in the face of a world which increasingly seems neither. And, even though his press release for the collection marking A.P.C.’s three decades in business expressed his “sincere disdain for the use of a brand’s anniversary as a business tool,” Touitou allowed himself a flicker of pride. If there was a secret to his success, he considered that it might be this: sometimes boring, always relevant. The “boring” bit has often been picked on by critics, the “relevance” sometimes missed. “People want to call it fashion when there’s a story to tell but I’m not telling any story,” said Touitou at a party celebrating the new men’s collecti
