Blackpink’s Rosé Is Saint Laurent’s Modern-Day Muse (W Magazine)

Rarely has heartbreak looked so attractive. “Why’d you have to hit and run me? Now I’m all alone cryin’ ugly,” sings the Korean megastar Rosé, swaddled in bright green marabou feathers. Rosé is known to many millions around the world as a member of the red-hot K-pop foursome Blackpink, but we see her here in her second solo video, for a song called “Gone,” which dropped earlier this year. In another scene from the same video, she beats up a pillow. Once again, she is draped in marabou, but this time in a deep blue. She might be crying, but she sure isn’t crying ugly. Perhaps marabou feathers help ease romantic pain. “For us, when we listen to a song, we...

For Vogue Mexico’s May issue, the publication wanted a cover star who represents “the face of a new generation of models,” and Indigenous model Quannah Chasinghorse certainly embodies this in more ways than one. Photographed by Inez & Vinoodh for the cover (in an ethereal Valentino dress, no less) the 18-year-old is a refreshing addition to the fashion scene: She proudly displays her traditional tattoos, rocks authentic Indigenous style, and has an array of impressive activism work under her belt too. In the process, she’s also breaking barriers, providing much-needed representation for Indigenous people in an industry that has long overlooked and excluded Indigenous talent. Currently based in Fairbanks, Alaska, Chasinghorse—who is Hän Gwich’in and Oglala Lakota—is still relatively new to modeling. She...

The Chocolate-Hued Lipstick That Has Become My Beauty Go-To (VOGUE)

My approach to makeup throughout quarantine has been quite minimal, save for the occasional eye makeup to hide my fatigue (a touch of concealer, mascara, and a bit of eyebrow pencil). I wasn’t a huge makeup wearer to begin with, and with all the mask wearing, I wanted to give my face a break as well as avoid breakouts. So in lieu of any contour or bright eyeliner, I’ve come to treasure lipstick as a way of spicing things up before a Zoom meeting—and not just any lipstick. During a time of tumultuous change, I’ve found myself clinging to what I know, which has meant that my choices in entertainment have come with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Revisiting music videos like “Are...

THE TRUCKER HAT’S INEVITABLE RETURN HAS ARRIVED (NYLON)

Cast your mind back to the early 2000s. Lindsay Lohan is wearing a “Drama Queen” trucker hat ahead of the MTV VMAs, and paparazzi shots of Britney Spears show the pop star out and about in a Von Dutch cap. Although Paris Hilton recently said she wouldn’t engage in the return of the early-aughts fashion trend — despite wearing one often on The Simple Life — the trucker hat is back, in a big way. With Bella Hadid recently securing Von Dutch’s return to relevance, and Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid all stepping out in the vintage-inspired accessory, it was only a matter of time before the infamous style began trending again. These days, however, nostalgic thrifted brands are met with modern versions from new designers like Mowalola, whose popular...

The Hidden Meanings Behind Emma Stone’s Wild Beauty Looks in Disney’s Cruella (VOGUE)

Few screen villains have captured the imagination quite like Cruella de Vil, who was famously brought to life by Glenn Close in Disney’s 1996 live-action adaptation, 101 Dalmatians. Deliciously wicked and with a wardrobe to die for (quite literally), Cruella was the ultimate baddie. But how did she get to be so dastardly? This is the question that underpins director Craig Gillespie’s origin story, Cruella. Starring Emma Stone in the title role, and set in the vibrant punk era of 1970s London, the film follows Estella, a rebellious young grifter who—with her natural black-and-white hair, which she disguises with red hair dye—has always felt like an outsider. With dreams of making it as a fashion designer, she soon catches the attention of industry...

How Rastah Champions Pakistani Culture Through Streetwear (VOGUE)

Streetwear is growing up. Once relegated to the wardrobes of hypebeasts, new labels are using their graphic hoodies or jackets to grab your attention and to make a powerful statement about politics or culture. It’s a global movement, too. Mobilize, for instance, uses its drops to educate others about Indigenous life and traditions. There’s also a new streetwear label out of Pakistan who is also championing South Asian culture—and its pieces are just downright cool, too. Rastah was founded in 2018 by cousins Zain, Ismail, and Adnan Ahmad, who are based out of Lahore, Pakistan. Zain, the creative director of the label, grew up in London, Toronto, and Vancouver as well, but is consistently inspired by the city. “Lahore is an incredibly...

The Metaverse’s First Runway Show Is Coming—And Collina Strada, Mowalola, and Gypsy Sport Are Headlining (VOGUE)

The online metaverse and social networking site IMVU grew by 44% during the pandemic; it now attracts 7 million active users a month, most of them female or female-identifying and aged from 18 to 24. If you aren’t one of those millions, here’s a primer: On IMVU, users create personal avatars and dress them in clothes designed by fellow users—creators, in site parlance—bought with credits paid for with real money. The point of IMVU is to connect virtually with friends and to potentially make new ones, but shopping is no small part of the site’s attraction. IMVU’s virtual store features 50 million items made by over 200,000 creators. Fourteen billion in credits, or $14 million, exchanges hands over 27 million...

7 APPI Designers On Fashion, Personal Style, & Launching A Small Business (NYLON)

Launching a business can be daunting, whether you’re a college sophomore studying for exams, while dreaming up sustainable and whimsically chic outerwear, like Dauphinette’s Olivia Cheng, or putting your own name on your devastatingly cool footwear concepts, after a decade of designing for an established brand, like Labucq’s Lauren Bucquet. Because either way, interpreting one’s self-expression, individuality, and vision through distinct fashion designs — and sharing it all with the world to hopefully embrace — can feel like a massive risk. Plus, success takes hard work and business acumen, not to mention crucial lessons learned on the job, as a few designers will happily share, sans ego. For this group of AAPI creatives, designing and running their own labels also offers an opportunity...

You’d expect siblings stuck together for a year of quarantine would end up embroiled in family squabbles, but for Nicole and Sofia Richie, the time spent together resulted in a brand new fashion project. Back in April 2020, the two sisters made the decision to join forces on a new spring collection for Nicole’s House of Harlow 1960 line. Over a year later, it’s releasing today on Revolve. “In between watching Netflix and eating, we started talking about our goals for the future, and wanting to create together,” Nicole tells Vogue. Sofia adds that she’s always wanted to work with her bigger sister. “I watched Nicole build up House of Harlow to where it is today, and I admire her for that,” says Sofia....
