June 08, 2020 at 03:03PM Each year in May, some of the world’s most renowned fashion houses host elaborate shows in far-flung destinations to fête the launch of their newest Cruise collections. For Chanel, this year’s locale was going to be Capri – however due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the brand decided earlier this year to cancel plans for an in-person show for its Cruise 2021 collection. In a statement at the time, the house said it was “examining alternative ways of presenting its collection in Capri at a later date and in a different format.” Today, that format has been revealed. In a brand first, Chanel has this morning unveiled its new collection to the world via its social media channels and its website. Called Balade en Méditerranée (which means “a trip around the Mediterranean), the show notes explain that the collection was inspired by the allure of “the legendary actresses of the 1960s when they would holiday on the Italian and the French Riviera.” As such, the pieces were designed with transformational ease and cohesiveness in mind – midi skirts can be worn as dresses, whilst chiffon jackets are both beach club-ready (when worn over a bikini) and evening appropriate (when paired with jeans and jewelled accessories). It’s “a wardrobe that can be carried in a little suitcase on wheels, a shopper and an embroidered handbag,” says the brand. <div class="sjm-attachment-carousel–header gallery-container–default" data-slick='{"speed":400,"adaptiveHeight":true,"variableWidth":false,"centerMode":true,"centerPadding":"0","slidesToShow":1,"lazyLoad":"ondemand","prevArrow":"Previous”,”nextArrow”:”Next”}’ data-simplemodal=’false’ > Photograph courtesy of Chanel/Julien Martinez Leclerc Photograph courtesy of Chanel/Julien Martinez Leclerc Photograph courtesy

Fashion Week Will Be Going Digital This Summer With Virtual Runway Shows and Movies
June 08, 2020 at 03:34PM It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more digital fashion shows this summer. The coronavirus pandemic has caused the fashion industry to change its regular Fashion Week format for the next few seasons, and many major events like the Met Gala, the CFDA Awards, and the Cannes Film Festival have all been postponed indefinitely. We’ve already seen designers like Jacquemus adapt to the new normal by creating fashion campaigns shot via FaceTime starring celebrities like Bella Hadid. Carine Roitfeld even turned her CR Runway show into an online event that premiered live on YouTube, as did Vogue with its virtual event A Moment With the Met. The British Fashion Council announced that London Fashion Week would be taking place online in June this year. The new digital format will allow brands to showcase collections in whatever format they want, ranging from a virtual runway show all the way to a podcast. Milan Fashion Week will be hosting the first Milan Digital Fashion Week from July 14 to July 17 for the men’s Spring 2021 collections, as well as women’s and men’s precollections for next spring. The Camera Nazionale della Moda in Italy is set to unveil the full calendar of the mainly digital fashion showcase later this week. Its president, Carlo Capasa, stated in an interview with Vogue that it’s creating a new platform with Microsoft for these digital shows. “Every one of the 35 or 40 brands showing is free to use their

I Think This Is Set to be the Cult Dress of the Summer
June 08, 2020 at 02:00PM In the age of lockdowns, social restrictions and event cancellations, it would be easy to assume that the concept of a trending dress might be forgone for the summer of 2020. After all, with weddings postponed, celebrations largely on hold and public spaces still closed, where would one wear such an item? Well, to their living room, apparently. Yes, although this summer is set to look a little different, that hasn’t stopped supermodels and influencers from dressing their best. In fact, models including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Romee Strijd and influencer Camille Charriere have continued to dress up and interestingly enough have gravitated towards the same floor-length maxi as their gown of choice. Designed by It-label, Cult Gaia, the brand’s Serita Dress features an interesting cut-out silhouette and woven knit fabric. It’s dressy enough to be worn to red carpet events, as Candice Swanepoel proved earlier this year, but feels just as suitable for an at-home pub crawl, as Camille Charriere exemplified. Even though we might have nowhere to go, it’s clear this Cult Gaia dress is set to be a favourite this summer. Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.

6 Tips for Students On How to Overcome Stress When Writing Term Papers

9 Important Black Voices In Wellness We’re Amplifying Now
June 08, 2020 at 10:55AM Over the years, our emotional and mental health stories have grown to be a huge focus. Our space is rich with a wide variety of thinkers and practitioners on these topics and while we’ve already covered a lot of ground, we’re excited to bring you so much more of it this year. So far, 2020 seems to demand it. A few of the thoughtleaders we’ve featured on these topics in the past are included below, from Jessamyn Stanley who almost broke Instagram when we first featured her here to authors like Lalah Delia and Erica Chidi whose recent books have helped shape the current conversation on wellness. It was a joy to gather this list of nine black wellness thoughtleaders whose messages are steeped in lessons of mind-body wellness and personal empowerment. Although we’ve never before curated a list of brands or individuals based solely on race, with all that’s being exposed in our nation now, we’re looking to amplify more black voices than ever before. Find a new follow below… Andrea Ranae ( @andrearanaej) | We came across Andrea Ranae’s writing just this week and were blown away by her grounded wisdom. Her messages of personal empowerment resonated with us so deeply from this post that reminds black follower to define and possibly enlarge their boundaries at this time to this post on “performative activism” that clarifies what it means to be a public advocate in authenticity. Watch for more from Andrea soon. As a
30-minute Barre Booty Workout Video
June 08, 2020 at 11:05AM This is an at-home barre workout you can do anywhere! This workout is lower body focused and only takes 30 minutes. All you need is a countertop or sturdy chair to hold onto for balance. Good morning, friends. I hope that you found some peace this weekend. Mine was filled with a lot of reflection and some solid action planning with the Pilot as we continue to listen, learn, and read about how I can better support my BIPOC community. I’ve also found some new fitness and social media accounts that I’m looking forward to sharing with you in Friday Faves. In the meantime, I’ll be offering up some of the content I had previously planned, including today’s workout video, a Father’s Day gift guide, and a new recipe. I’m coming atcha with an all-new barre workout today. Thank you for all of the awesome feedback on the videos I’ve been posting lately. I can’t walt to film with Grant again one of these days, but for now, the ol’ tripod is getting me through. For today’s workout, I wanted to do a lower body burner with some cardio blasts. One of the best things about barre is that it targets some of the smaller and often neglected muscles that can have a huge impact on function, like the glute medius, abductor and adductor muscles, and piriformis. By keeping these muscles strong, it can help to protect us when we do more traditional strength exercises,
Let’s Talk About Racism + The Wellness Industry
June 08, 2020 at 10:00AM We all want to believe we’re not racist. Even people who engage in overtly racist behaviors don’t see their behavior as racist. Our egos are a powerful thing that prevent us from seeing how our words, our actions and many times our silence and inaction can be harmful to other people. But that doesn’t make it right. And I am certainly not immune to this. This past year, and in particular the past few weeks have really woken me up to how I’ve both contributed to and benefitted from racism in this country. The wellness industry is no exception. Now I could certainly address how our entire country is built around systemic racism, I wanted to focus on the wellness industry, because it’s my industry and the one I’ve dedicated my career to for the past 8 years. It’s also the area where I feel I can have the greatest impact and I sense this is the case for you too. They say that any lasting change must begin in your home and well, this place is my home so let’s start talking. The History of Wellness The Oxford English Dictionary first recognized the word “wellness” in 1654 as “a […] The post Let’s Talk About Racism + The Wellness Industry appeared first on The Healthy Maven.
