April 24, 2020 at 04:45PM We are down to the final three in Prime Video’s Making the Cut. Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn tell the designers to pack their bags, because they’re heading back to their homes. Each contestant must put together a final collection (with 12-14 looks) and conceptualize a pop-up shop that will be shown in New York City. They have one month to complete these tasks. First we head to Los Angeles to see what Jonny Cota is up to. We get to meet his husband, Frank, back at his home. But Cota wastes no time and books a flight to Bali, where he can productively create a collection. He works with craftsmen and tailor shops there that allow him to experiment with his designs. Next, we get a look at Sander Bos’s home in Hasselt, Belgium. His mother, Ingrid, is incredibly supportive of his career as he works on his final challenge. The designer is confident his vision can be the future of fashion. Lastly, the show checks in with Esther Perbandt at her apartment in Berlin, Germany. She previews her main idea for the pop-up shop, which is an art installation with black rope. After a month, the final three head to NYC, where they each have their own studio that matches their personal aesthetic. Gunn tells the designers the public will be able to order from their pop-up shops, and there will be a tally on the ordering. Afterward, there will be an elimination,

Bella Hadid Fronts the First FaceTime Campaign Shoot
April 24, 2020 at 03:38PM We’re all adapting to working from home as we continue to shelter in place as the COVID-19 pandemic continues across Canada and the rest of the world. The situation has forced businesses and their employees to adapt to new ways of working – including those in the fashion industry. Case in point: Bella Hadid starring in the first fashion campaign shot via FaceTime for Jacquemus. Working with designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti, Hadid shot a series of images modelling pieces from the brand’s S/S20 collection. Naturally, the campaign is called ‘Jacquemus at Home.’ Sharing the images via Instagram, Hadid wrote that shooting the campaign was the “best few hours…reconnecting.” In the snaps, Bella sports an array of pieces from the brand’s 10th anniversary collection including knitted crops, an oversized white tailored suit, various bralettes, bodysuits, sunglasses, and some very specifically placed handbags. View this post on Instagram @jacquemus 2020 @ Home / by my angel friends Simón& @blackpierreange … Best few hours… ? Reconnecting…. ? A post shared by Bella ? (@bellahadid) on Apr 23, 2020 at 11:42am PDT //www.instagram.com/embed.js The release of the images marks the first time a major label has adopted the FaceTime approach for a campaign, though we suspect it will be far from the only one utilizing this approach in the months to come. The pandemic is forcing fashion brands to rethink the ways in which they approach seasonal collections, and subsequently shows and campaigns. Earlier this
Why Christian Siriano Is Making Medical Masks in Color: “It Helps Us Get Through the Day”
April 24, 2020 at 02:54PM Christian Siriano’s impressive team has now shipped over 10,000 masks to medical workers on the front lines fighting the coronavirus crisis, and his good friend Kelly Clarkson hopped on a video call with him for a candid interview about the process. Siriano was in his New York City office space at the time, and he elaborated on how wildly different the task at hand feels, especially since his sewers are used to creating couture dresses: “It’s wild. After I tweeted at the governor and they responded, they gave us permission to open my office with a small team. My sewers are couture sewers, and now they’re making masks. It’s quite monotonous work, and it’s the same thing over and over again. In the beginning, we were only making white masks, but then I was like, ‘We need to have color.’ We’ve done almost 15,000 masks, and your eyes are bulging out from looking at the same thing. It’s hard to make quality control when you don’t have a mask factory.” Christian has been posting nonstop on Instagram about his team’s tireless efforts and also inviting followers to make donations through his website. Siriano, whose Instagram feed has always been a rainbow’s worth of colors, is now keeping up with his true sense of style in more ways than one. While we’re seeing fewer posts of floor-sweeping gowns exploding in color, it brightens our day just as much to see piles of medical masks in color

How Toronto Jewellery Brand Biko Is Highlighting Frontline Workers
April 24, 2020 at 02:45PM What started as a simple gesture of goodwill grew into a heartwarming highlight reel for Corrine Anestopoulos of Biko. As the COVID-19 crisis took hold and she found herself learning more about the issues faced by essential and frontline workers, Anestopoulos says, “I knew I had to pivot my attention and do something productive” to help others in need. After donating to Toronto’s Sistering organization, which works with at-risk women and trans people, Anestopoulos set her sights on a giveaway project for frontline workers who would be nominated by family and friends in Biko’s network. After posting details through the brand’s online platforms, she was shocked by the outpouring of stories about nurses, doctors, pharmacists and more. “My inbox was just flooded,” she says. “I was like, this is beyond me, this is beyond my personal community. And the stories are just unreal—it’s amazing that people are still functioning while keeping a smile on their face.” View this post on Instagram About a week ago, we created a mini-series titled ✨ ‘Daily Hero’ ✨ to commemorate the incredible submissions we received in response to our Gift-Away. .

3 Signs You’re Not Exfoliating Enough If You’re Over 40
April 24, 2020 at 02:00PM Exfoliating is an essential step in any skincare routine. It sloughs off dead skin cells and unclogs pores while leaving your skin fresh and glowy. You could be using the nicest skincare products in the world, but if you’re not exfoliating on the regular, those fancy serums, creams, etc. might not be living up to their potential because you’ve got a lot of dead skin cell buildup. Not to mention, starting your exfoliating routine early will have your future self thanking you. “Exfoliating young skin serves mostly to keep skin glowing and blemish-free,” says Suneel Chilukuri, MD, of Refresh Dermatology. “As a teenager and young adult, your body naturally has more cellular turnover and often greater sebum production. Natural cell turnover slows with age, which results in pigmentary changes (sun spots), fine lines, and dryness. Some would say exfoliating becomes even more important at this stage to keep stimulate new cell growth and healthier skin.” But that doesn’t mean it’s just for those with youthful skin. It benefits everyone, regardless of age. For those with “mature” skin, Chilukuri says that regular exfoliating will promote cell turnover and prevent a sallow appearance over time. Women with mature skin might be afraid to exfoliate because they’re wary of damaging or drying out their skin, but it’s still an important step if you’re doing it correctly and using the right products. So what are some signs that you’re not exfoliating enough if you’re over 40? Chilukuri gave us a few watch-outs: 1. Your skin is dull:
Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of Designer Andrew Coimbra
April 24, 2020 at 02:00PM As people around the country wind down their sixth week of self-isolation, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, athletes and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. Andrew Coimbra, Designer Wheeewwww! The last few weeks have been a very unique and challenging experience. Like many, I’ve become incredibly focused on the climbing numbers that reflect the infection rates across the world, the new government protocols in response to those numbers, and the personal stories coming from friends all over the world. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel consumed by it. It feels like we’re living in a Margaret Atwood novel! It should go without saying that my heart goes out to my friends and members of my family who are in the healthcare industry. I have made a point of touching base to check in with them often, and making sure that they have a non-healthcare industry person to vent to. People underestimate how emotionally exhausting a role in healthcare can be on a ‘normal’ day, and that the opportunity to escape the internal politics of it all can be a gift. In the meantime, I have been keeping myself busy—or I should say, I have been made to be kept busy by virtue of my living situation.

Kate Middleton Just Wore the One Dress Brand We Are Obsessed With
April 24, 2020 at 01:48PM In the ’90s, Ghost was one of the first places you’d visit when looking for a new dress, as its silky slip dresses were the height of cool. However, the brand gradually became seen as a destination for pastel bridesmaid frocks and occasion-wear only. But Ghost has become cool again over the past year or so, thanks to a reboot of its button-front tea dresses and silky midi dresses. And our team, like the many influencers we follow on Instagram, are all in agreement that this is now one of the very best places to snap up a quality dress in 2020. And it turns out Kate Middleton also agrees, as yesterday she wore a blue floral £90 Marley dress to stand outside her home with the family and clap for our carers. This clip was shown on The Big Night In on BBC, and unsurprisingly the dress almost instantly sold out. Kate’s dress is in a powdery blue shade, and the rest of the family is also wearing blue, which feels like a deliberate nod to the colour of the NHS. Ghost has repositioned itself as one of those labels you see all over your Instagram feeds. The dresses all have a similar aesthetic, with midi lengths, bold floral prints and a use of vibrant colours. Keep scrolling to see how our team and influencers share their own Ghost pieces; then shop our edit of the best ones. Style Notes: Who What Wear’s Hannah wears the gorgeous satin Ayla dress. Match
