May 27, 2020 at 05:21PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on May 26, 2020 at 10:55am PDT Are we that surprised that Kim Kardashian‘s idea of a work-from-home outfit is a skintight pink look? No, not really – especially given her past couple of at-home outfits. After recently working out in a leopard-print bikini and sneakers and going full-on Wild West in a white bikini and leather chaps, it looks like Kim took a cue from Barbie this time. Upon second glance, her outfit also kind of reminded us of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde because of the pink hue, which probably also has to do with the fact that she’s studying to be a lawyer. While walking the halls of her Los Angeles mansion, Kim looked like At-Home Barbie in the pink outfit, which she captioned photos of with, “Hindsight’s 2020.” The outfit included a long-sleeved crop top with a keyhole cutout above her chest and a matching skintight miniskirt that also had a cutout, this time on her hip. She tied her hair into a long braid and accessorized with dangling pink earrings. Instead of house slippers, Kim opted for a pair of PVC heels, because why the heck not? Scroll through her photos above to get a closer look at her outfit.

May 27, 2020 at 05:20PM Though summer is shaping up to be a bit different than expected this year, there are still plenty of fun style moments to be had. Sundresses and bikinis should very much be part of the equation, as should shorts, sandals, and sunglasses. If you’ve started to think about freshening up your assortment of warm-weather pieces, a wish list is a great way to narrow in on the styles you want to secure (not to totally influence you, but we’re kind of obsessing over sherbet hues, romantic silhouettes, and long shorts at the moment).

CTZN Cosmetics is the Inclusive Beauty Brand That Should Be on Your Radar
May 27, 2020 at 04:55PM In an era of makeup collections with 40+ foundation colours, representation within the beauty industry shouldn’t be a “nice to have”—it should be a must. And while many brands have started investing in a much-needed spotlight on diversity when it comes to their product offerings and shade ranges, some seem to completely miss the mark when dealing with inclusive campaigns. The feeling that accompanies not seeing your own reflection in mainstream media and beauty—especially when society has already labelled you a minority—can have a powerful impact to say the least. Just take it from Pakistani-American sisters Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha Khan. After all, their U.K.-based cosmetics line, CTZN Cosmetics, was born out of how they felt about being excluded from big-name beauty ads time and again. “That’s when you actually realize ‘I’m not there,’” recalls Aleena. “Brands were aiming to be inclusive, but they didn’t have a Southeast Asian model. There was a middle-brown skin tone, yes, but it was never Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian—never our demographic.” And the repercussions can be, well, downright soul-crushing. “You then feel like you’re less important than another person,” she adds. Fuelled by frustration and an urge to push for greater inclusion and cultural understanding, the trio set out to start their own direct-to-consumer cosmetics label, even if they didn’t necessarily have a hero product at the get-go to put them on the makeup map. “At first, we were just thinking of our own experiences,” says Aleena. “We
Meet The Brand Bringing Senegalese Craftsmanship to Canada
May 27, 2020 at 04:36PM “I’ve had a passion for fashion since I was a young girl,” says Diarra Bousso Niang. The Senegalese-born entrepreneur pursued her interest through studies in Paris, where she earned an MBA in management and marketing of luxury goods. After receiving the accolade she moved to Canada in 2009, and was struck by the diversity that surrounded her. “The fashion industry here is very multicultural,” Niang says; and the global mix of citizens gave her an idea. “I haven’t seen many brands with an African touch, [and] I wanted to share my roots.” Niang launched her handbag and wallet line, Bouswari, in 2016. The pieces are inspired by different aspects of Senegalese culture and tradition, done with unique twists like bold colourblocking. “I revisit traditional handbag shapes,” she says of the designs. “And I use the shape to share the heritage.” The Touareg Bourse—a rounded tote—takes its influence from the style of bag used by the Touareg people, who are nomadic inhabitants of the Sahara. “And the Nafa is the type of traditional bag that women would wear in Senegal,” says Niang of a sculptural style that comes in cross-body and belt bag variations.

Victoria Beckham Might as Well Be Hailey Bieber WFH in Her Cutoffs and Drew House Slippers
May 27, 2020 at 04:00PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) on May 27, 2020 at 3:31am PDT We literally had to do a double take when we scrolled past Victoria Beckham‘s working-from-home Instagram. Wait, was that Hailey Bieber? I mean, we all know Hails has been lounging in similar essentials, including her Drew House slippers, oversize hoodies, denim shorts, etc. Beckham, who sat upon her kitchen bar stool showing off her Drew House Mascot House Slippers (which usually retail for $38 but are sold out at the moment), could have fit right in with the gang. Related: 38 Fashion Truths Straight From Victoria Beckham We love seeing the designer and mom of four in more laidback attire, especially since she’s usually pretty dressed up for public outings. That said, Victoria pulls out her jean shorts in the summer months when the weather warms up, and it just so happens to be bikini season. That’s right folks, some things never change. Of course, now we’re completely aware that VB is not Hailey Bieber at all but just another member of the Drew House squad, and her house slippers were probably courtesy of Mr. Bieber himself.

7 Designers on What Makes a Really Great Pair of Shoes
May 27, 2020 at 03:55PM As you have likely heard countless times over the last few weeks, we are living in unprecedented times. Though that does not mean we should cease to seek joy in the small things, like say, for example, an exceptionally beautiful pair of shoes. In times like these, Who What Wear UK seeks to provide some light relief, and if Carrie Bradshaw taught us anything, it is certainly that shoes can spark joy. With this in mind, we spoke to seven designers—including Jane Frances of Dear Frances, Vanissa Antonious of Neous and Valentina Bezuhanova of By FAR—about what makes a really great pair of shoes, in an effort to understand how to curate a collection that will not only provide aesthetic beauty but also longevity and comfort. Of course, many of the designers below stressed the importance of investing in quality footwear and outlined the details which prove a shoe is well made—whether it be leather soles or hand-stitching. From It labels to fashion favourites, keep scrolling for seven designers’ advice on what makes a really great pair of shoes. “You either go for an amazing timeless black mule or you go for super special craftsmanship with colourful embellishments and statement pop of colour. You should invest in a handmade pair of shoes where the designer and shoemaker have left their heart and soul, and you recognize yourself in the little details—custom-made heels, hand-embroidered stones, special hardware… It’s all about the craftsmanship.” — Valentina Bezuhanova, cofounder of
Everyone I Follow In Fashion Is Wearing This One Uplifting T-Shirt
May 27, 2020 at 03:11PM As summer colours go, there are few shades that embody the radiance of the season quite like sunshine yellow. It’s a hue that can immediately put a smile on your face and conjure up images of cloudless skies and idyllic beaches. This week, the colour has taken up particular prominence on our social media feeds as editors and influencers prepare for the sunny season ahead, though there has been one specific yellow item that seems to be more ubiquitous than the rest: Frankie Shop x Camille Charriere’s Eva Padded Shoulder Muscle T-Shirt. From Alyssa Coscarelli to Ellie of Slip Into Style, and our very own US Editor-in-Chief Kat Collings, this particular Frankie Shop tee has certainly gained a fashionable following. However, we can’t say we’re surprised, as the item is not only on-trend for Spring/Summer 2020, it’s also a feel-good charitable purchase. Created in collaboration with Camille Charriere, 100 % of the profits of the Frankie Shop t-shirt will go to the Red Cross as a part of its #letthesunchainin initiative. Though, purchasing this mood-boosting tee is not the only way you can get involved. Frankie Shop recognises that it’s not about simply owning a new piece of clothing, which is why the brand has also committed to donating $1 to the Red Cross for every Instagram post which features the colour yellow alongside the hashtag #letthesunchainin. Keep scrolling to see how industry insiders are wearing the charitable tee and shop the item below. Next up, the biggest S/S
