Bella Hadid Shot a Whole Campaign Via FaceTime, While My Arm Gets Tired From One Selfie
April 24, 2020 at 06:11PM Sheltering in place hasn’t stopped Bella Hadid and Jacquemus from creating an entire campaign. While many brands have had to hit pause on new collections because of the coronavirus crisis, Simon Porte Jacquemus found a creative way to create his Spring 2020 campaign. The French designer, known for starting the tiny bag trend, teamed up with Bella Hadid to shoot an entire collection of dreamy photos from home. The series features Bella posing in various pieces that was shot entirely through FaceTime. Yep, you read that right! While the designer acted as creative director of the shoot, photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti took images of Bella while they were FaceTiming. I have to say, even without the full production of a regular campaign, I was pretty impressed by how cool it came out. In fact, I felt like I related even more to the campaign because it took me back to the early 2000s when Apple’s PhotoBooth reigned supreme. In the pictures, Bella posed in everything from a cheery yellow crop top with green trousers to a stark white suit paired with a green bra. She even posed nude with a Jacquemus bag acting as a strategic cover-up. Keep reading to see all of the gorgeous imagery. Continue Reading… Author Nikita Ramsinghani | Popsugar Selected by CWC

These Brands Are Dedicated to Helping in the Age of the Coronavirus
April 24, 2020 at 05:13PM A few weeks back, I began to wonder how the fashion industry would respond to the mass upheaval happening in the world. I got my first response when Christian Siriano announced he’d be personally making masks to address the shortage in New York City. Since then, we’ve shifted our own editorial strategy, and fashion-industry leaders have taken up arms to address the toll COVID-19 has taken on employment, the healthcare system, and life itself. As the world changes before our eyes, we as consumers have the power to re-envision what our world will look like and what brands to support and rally behind. Who wouldn’t want to support the brands that are creating coalitions, maintaining employment, investing in small businesses, and even opening their factories to produce essential medical supplies like face masks? Why wouldn’t we want to consume more consciously and support all those in need during this time? So ahead, we’re shedding light on the fashion brands and retailers that have donated during the crisis (totaling upward of $70 million and 700,000 masks) so that if you do choose to shop during this time, you know what your money is going toward. How it’s helping: AG Jeans announced on its social media channels that it would be committing $1 million to COVID-19 Los Angeles County Response Fund to help support clinics and hospitals across the county and scale up COVID-19 testing. In addition to donating, the company has personally vowed to fight unemployment by continuing to pay and providing
On a Budget? Here’s Our Best Affordable Fashion and Beauty Picks of the Month
April 24, 2020 at 05:00PM Welcome to On the Hunt, a monthly series in which we open the floor (or should we say DMs?) to our Instagram followers to ask their most burning fashion and beauty questions. We’ll select up to five inquiries to answer and offer our advice with shopping picks to match. It’s safe to say that most of us have adjusted our budgets and spending habits in the last month or so and have become more thoughtful than ever about practicality, cost per wear, and categorizing items into needs vs wants. But spending less money doesn’t necessarily have to be a dramatic sacrifice. If we shift our perspectives a bit, shopping smarter can actually be a fun challenge of finding the best items on the internet for the best prices. So whether it’s affordable trends, skincare, basics, or loungewear we’re currently on the hunt for—it just takes a little Internet research to find the best items, which of course is exactly what we’ve done here. Not to make things overly tempting, but these price-conscious items are seriously good. We never knew how much loungewear we needed in our closets until we spent so much time at home. There are so many on-trend options out there right now at all different price points, but don’t worry, we found some seriously stylish and affordable pieces. Want the matching sweats? Say no more. These Reformation shorts won’t last long. A pop of pink makes putting on loungewear feel significantly more fun. Tie-dye biker shorts is

From the Archives: Sophie Grégoire Trudeau on the March 2017 Cover of FASHION
April 24, 2020 at 05:15PM “If you were a yoga pose, which one would you be?” I ask Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. We’re midway into our second interview for this feature, and she has just finished describing the thrill of barefooting—which is waterskiing without skis. “You have to be at high speeds, and when you fall, it’s like falling on cement,” she says. “It’s rough, but the sensation is amazing when you’re on your feet.” She tells me that her other athletic pursuits venture from fairly calm (cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tennis) to borderline extreme (skydiving, ice climbing and underwater diving with her husband, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau). Her less extreme adventures include yoga and pranayama (controlling the breath). So, back to the pose that best describes this certified hatha yoga instructor’s character. “That’s a funny question!” she says, laughing. “It’s tempting to say the wheel with one leg up [Eka Pada Chakrasana] because it’s just so heart opening, but I think the Baddha Konasana, or sitting pose, is the most challenging one for me because I have to be seated, calm, relaxed and focused.” I’m not sure whether asanas, or poses, reveal one’s character, but it’s not surprising to me that Grégoire Trudeau would excel at the one-legged wheel pose. I imagine there’s a certain extroverted rush from mastering that move, and I’m getting the sense that Grégoire Trudeau embraces her extroversion like metal shavings to a magnet. “I’m an only child,” she explains. “I was taught to go toward
