May 14, 2020 at 10:11PM During this time of self-isolation and social distancing, it’s not uncommon for fashion designers and creatives to hit a lull. While some have been able to rework their thought processes, others have found tuning into innovation quite challenging. If you fall into the latter category, first of all, I feel you. Second, there is a way to get those creative juices flowing: just turn on a good fashion reality show. Whether it’s watching Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum challenge designers on Amazon Prime’s Making the Cut or following along with Netflix’s Next in Fashion, binging a style-centric series can help spark some artistic ideas. Check out some of the best shows ahead, and prepare for inspiration to strike!

Meet the 12 Queens On the First Season of Canada’s Drag Race
May 14, 2020 at 09:43PM After months of anticipation, the 12 queens participating in the inaugural season of Canada’s Drag Race—scheduled to premiere on July 2—have been revealed. The show, an extension of RuPaul’s Drag Race, includes many features from the critically-acclaimed series such as the reading challenge, makeovers and Snatch Game, as well as “a dash of maple-flavoured Canadian realness,” according to the press release. Each episode will test the queens’ talents, “challenging them to master singing, dancing, acting, impersonation, costume making and improvisation.” Presiding over the 10-episode series is a panel of expert judges: Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and Stacey McKenzie. Etalk Senior Correspondent Traci Melchor will make regular appearances as Canada’s first “Squirrel Friend,” with weekly celebrity guest hosts joining the panel throughout the season. The season premieres Thursday, July 2 on Crave, with new episodes rolling out weekly on Crave’s TV channel, website, and the Crave app. Read on for introductions to the 12 queens competing to win the $100,000 grand prize and become Canada’s First Drag Superstar. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1fjvsXDbY] Anastarzia Anaquway, Toronto Anastarzia’s drag is inspired by her Caribbean roots and heavily influenced by the American drag pageant scene.

It Took a Whole Week to Make Just One of Elle Fanning’s Catherine the Great Costumes
May 14, 2020 at 09:37PM Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult star in Hulu’s new series The Great, which takes place in Russia in the late 1700s. As Catherine the Great, Elle gets to play the part of the longest reigning female ruler in the country, overthrowing her husband, Peter III. Of course, just one watch through the trailer will assure you that, yes, there are glorious dresses and elaborate fur coats here to see, all of which were imagined and brought to life by costume designer Emma Fryer, who previously worked on styling Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson in The Hustle. “As an actress, Elle has worn a corset quite a few times, so she was used to [wearing it for up to 11 hours on set].” When I spoke to Emma, she mentioned how lovely it was to come back to a period piece after focusing on more modern fashion, although, in order to dream up Catherine the Great’s wardrobe, she did mix references from today’s high fashion world with the contemporary. “I started with a huge resource of different visuals, from exhibitions that were in London at the time and portraits of Catherine the Great to a specific color palette of very dark wine, red, gold, silver, black, burgundy, bronze, and gray. These shades depict the inside of the palace – this very high-end, 18th century European world,” Emma told me. You’re probably wondering if Fanning was dressed in exact reinterpretations of any of Catherine the Great’s looks

Call Me By Your Name Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino Will Direct a Scarface Reboot
May 14, 2020 at 08:43PM VENTURELLIGETTY IMAGES Say hello to a (new) little friend: A Scarface reboot is in the works, courtesy of Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino. Deadline reports that the Oscar nominee is the latest filmmaker attached to the Universal project, following the likes of David Ayer (Suicide Squad) and Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw). Guadagnino will helm the film from a script by Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men), who have been involved with the movie for at least three years, Deadline reports. Their association comes after previous drafts of a rebooted script came from Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, Jonathan Herman, and Paul Attanasio. This content is imported from {embed-name}. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. This will be the third major iteration of Scarface. It follows Howard Hawks’ 1932 version set in Chicago and Brian De Palma’s 1983 classic, which starred Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer as players in the Miami cocaine ring. The new film will take place in Los Angeles and “be a reimagining of the original immigrant narrative established in both those films,” per Variety. This content is imported from YouTube.

Texture Talk: This Haircare Line was Developed by a Team of Scientists with Afro-Textured Hair
May 14, 2020 at 07:30PM Welcome to Texture Talk, a new weekly column that celebrates and deep dives into the dynamic world of curly hair, from springy S-patterns to densely-packed coils — because curly hair is far from one big category. This week, we’re revisiting our (pre-pandemic) trip to industry giant Procter & Gamble’s headquarters, where FASHION got an inside peek into Gold Series, a haircare line that was co-created with Black scientists, stylists and dermatologists. Backstage at Alice + Olivia SS2020. Photo Courtesy of IMAXtree. Black women often feel bullied about their hair choices, and Rukeyser Thompson isn’t having any of it. “If you choose to wear your hair straight, great! If you choose to wear it natural, fantastic!” she declares during a panel discussion at Procter & Gamble’s largest research and development centre, in Mason, Ohio. Thompson, P&G’s section head of haircare research and development, is seated before a group of Black Canadian journalists and influencers. She is joined by her colleagues Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson, principal scientist and senior manager of scientific communications, and scientist Sawanna Lucus. Together, the three women of colour represent the larger group of researchers of African descent who created Gold Series. The wallet-friendly collection is one of the first mass haircare lines targeted solely toward afro-textured hair that is natural (with voluminous coils), relaxed (chemically altered to straighten strands) or transitioning (moving from relaxed to natural).
