We’re not sure about you but we’re definitely spending A LOT more time on our phones than we ought to, something to do with lockdown 3.0 boredom. Although, we have a good excuse – there’s a swathe of recently-launched apps that have got us just a bit more addicted to our screens and here’s one

Virginia Woolf, Bella Hadid, and Kim Jones walk into a room. That’s the vibe Jones brought to Fendi couture with his highly anticipated debut for the Italian maison. In a year in which fashion took its rightful place on the back burner, the new creative director’s reimagining of Fendi gives us something to be excited
It’s no secret that the pandemic has taken its toll on the nation’s sex drive. Not only is sex drive loss or low libido a common symptom of long COVID, but the mental health implications of Everything That’s Going On Right Now are unlikely to be getting us fired up. One survey of almost 900
While the world has been in lockdown for the better part of a year, that doesn’t mean people haven’t been fantasizing about travel. Or if you’re tennis icon Serena Williams, who travelled almost nonstop during the before times, you’re probably not daydreaming of travel at all, you’re just straight up dreaming—because you’re catching up on
My Warsaw-born mother spent World War Two hidden in a convent. It was the safest place to hide a Jewish baby born two weeks before Hitler marched into Poland. When she emerged five years later, she was the only remaining member of her once large Jewish family in the city, a city where they’d lived
Exclusive Kanye West‘s cooking up something with his futuristic foam footwear … with a little spray. A Yeezy employee was spotted outside Ye’s Calabasas office Monday spraying on what appears to be a new Yeezy Foam RNNR Ararat prototype.

If ever there was a year when saving should have been easy, it was 2020. There were no weddings to attend, no hen parties, baby showers or expensive gifts for the happy couple. We didn’t travel to any bucket-list destinations. Heck, we weren’t even eating out or commuting because, lockdown. Yet 61% of us failed
A tried and true melodic wit is one of the few things in this world that I would undisputedly deem recession-proof, and it takes an artist like Rob Alexander to demonstrate this point time and time again. In Alexander’s potent new single, titled “A Song to Get Us Through,” we don’t hear a singer/songwriter playing
When life in lockdown feels sedentary, great fashion can entice you from the lull of a couch-dwelling existence, the spectacle of a runway show a reminder of what exists beyond sweatpants. Haute couture in particular sits at the opposite end of the “effort” spectrum, serving as a thrilling example of a master at work. At
This month is the 50th anniversary of Gabrielle Chanel’s death in Paris. While 1971 seems a long time ago, the legacy that ‘Coco’ left is still going strong. Virginie Viard, Chanel’s current creative director, is charged with navigating a clever course between incorporating the heritage signatures invented and appropriated by Chanel (Breton stripes, boucle tweed
It’s a Sin is hands down one of the most powerful TV shows not just right now, but ever. The Channel 4 show is a heartbreaking – and at times humorous – dramatic look at the queer community in 1980s London as the HIV and AIDSepidemic hits. In order to see this embed, you must
Raise your hand if home workouts haven’t been top of your priorities list recently? Morning yoga is off the cards – you’d rather the extra hour in bed, thanks – and you’ve gone off live at-home HIIT workouts quicker than Zoom. That’s why we’ve found the perfect solution to all of your problems. Well, ok,
Saying a cover song “captures the spirit” of its predecessor is like declaring that water is wet, but it stands to reason that cover songs that transform the original into something wholly new often stand the test of time. Take for example Nine Inch Nails “Hurt” which on its own certainly was a hit and
Over the last year almost every industry has been forced to pivot to some extent in order to accommodate the challenging circumstances provided by the pandemic, and the widely-documented change of pace within the fashion industry has encouraged many brands to rethink their tried-and-tested strategies. With the temporary shutdown of the much-loved biannual showcases put
We gathered today to witness the historical inauguration of President Joe Biden and our first female, South Asian, and Black Vice President Kamala Harris. And through sobbing tears of relief, Ella Emhoff’s sparkly coat offered yet another bright spot from today’s events. While most attendees chose solid colors and monochromatic outfits—purple, in particular, being significant—Emhoff
If you’ve seen the influx of ankle weights flooding social media, you might have twigged by now that they’re are all the rage. What was once 80’s workout video territory has become a very 2021 way of easily upping your strength from home and making those living room workouts a little more effective. Plus, they’re
Ponytails are the LBD of hairstyles. They go with everything. They can look romantic, rebellious, preppy or casual. They can work just as well on off-duty days as they do on special occasions and they work across a range of shapes and sizes (or, in this case, textures and lengths). Of course, any of us
Watching Netflix behind the laptop, working in our pajamas, the odd cheeky nap after lunch: Working from home has had its upsides. But almost 12 months down the line, experts believe we might be working from home until spring 2021 at the very earliest, and sometimes it’s hard to know whether that good or bad
We know that a pair of drool-worthy designer shoes is An Investment that is not to be taken lightly. With reduced incomes, panic on the high street and the Coronacoaster showing few signs of stopping, keeping our spending on a tight rein has never been higher up our To Do list. And yet… there is
Fashion was not meant to be the focus during this week’s inauguration, but the swearing in of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris became a runway anyway. We witnessed independent designers on the main stage, a show of unity through the color purple, Dior Air Jordans, and mittens becoming the accessory of the
It feels like this past year, Indian beauty standards have had a lot of bad press. And for good reason – the Indian archetype for women can feel overwhelmingly narrow – or at least they did when I would flick through the Indian magazines we had at home. The women pictured were so fair-skinned they
“Keep calm and carry on” might have been a British way of life for centuries but it’s been a very long time since it last felt so pertinent. Because with us all in yet another lockdown, what else is there to do but keep going until the light at the tunnel starts to shine? In
As soon as I got my first period at 12 years old, I knew something wasn’t right. Alongside terrible back pain, the flow was unbelievably heavy and totally uncontrollable. I’d wear multiple pads at a time, and it still wasn’t enough to really keep me protected. Eventually, the amount of blood I was losing led
Body Shop stans, assemble! We have collated the best the brand has to offer to optimise your bathroom cabinet. But before you start shopping, here are a few ‘did you knows’.

It’s been a wild ride for Charaf Tajer since he launched Casablanca at his parents’ Paris apartment in 2019. “I’m still in shock,” says Tajer, of the ensuing success that now includes a capsule with Net-a-Porter, an LVMH Prize nomination, and a sneaker collaboration with New Balance that sold out in twenty-seven seconds. To add

In a Harvard University study published in 2018, scientists looked at the impact that sugary drinks had on fertility, analysing the diets of 3,828 North American women wanting to get pregnant and 1,045 of their male partners.

We know, we know, another annual celebration that we have to spend locked up at home. While some people might find the thought of raising a toast to Valentine’s Day, on February 14, a bit of a cheese-fest, let’s face it, any day that gives us a chance to do something a BIT different during
