Valentino is diving deeper into the virtual realm.

Of the three hoodies featured in DKNY’s #StateOfMind campaign—the Risk Takers, the Work Ethic, and the Hustle—it’s the Work Ethic hoodie that musical duo and DKNY’s holiday partners Chloe and Halle keep returning to. Emblazoned on the front is a quote that reads: “Do not be fooled by this hoodie. There is nothing ‘business casual’
There are hypebeasts, and then there are hike beasts. The most anticipated fashion collaboration of the year (and 2021, if our predictions are correct) appeals to both parties. Our ears collectively piqued when we first heard the news in September: Gucci is joining forces with The North Face for a collection that bridges mountains, both
There’s no better time than the dawn of a new year to stand back and reorganise your beauty cupboard. Yanno, discard the tube of mascara that went out of date circa 2018, recycle those empty bottles of shampoo, pass on the perfumes you rarely wear and streamline your collection of foundation. But we’d be lying
There’s a Toni Morrison essay that I think about often. In it, Morrison talks about cleaning houses as a child, toiling away to earn money, and the emotional ups and downs of having a job. I won’t give away the ending (it’s a worthy read), but ultimately she comes to some pretty profound realisations. ”You
I never thought I’d admit but cleaning has become one of my go-to isolation activities (closely pipped by becoming a self-styled wine connoisseur). Has anyone else found that taking the time to clear out their cupboards and declutter their wardrobes is really therapeutic? It seems I’m not alone. TikTok saw a huge boom in users
Remember when derriere-sweeping, Mermaid hair was all the rage? We all refused to cut our hair and slathered it in Moroccan Oil in the hope it would grow out into beautiful, long beachy waves like Blake Lively’s. But 2020 has changed everything and made us plump for much more practical and effortless hairstyles. Enter: the
Outside of Facetune, there’s no magic eraser that can instantly get rid of acne or make your skin smooth. But if you want to know how to get clear skin without spending a fortune, there are some reasonable steps you can take to make your complexion glow brighter and feel softer—provided that you don’t have
I’m feeling a little nervous. Not about the borders being shut, nor about the new variant of Covid-19 sweeping the nation (although, I have experienced my fair share of fear over them both). No, I’m nervous that people are thinking all of this will magically be over once the clock strikes midnight on 31st December.
We know they’re fictional characters. We know it’s just for entertainment value and we shouldn’t take it all so seriously. But when your favourite TV show ruins your favourite relationship, botches a storyline, or throws away nine years of planning your schedule around a show (we’re looking at you, How I Met Your Mother) by
Alicia Keys may have famously ditched wearing makeup back in 2016, declaring “I realised I became addicted to it; I didn’t feel comfortable without it.” Yet for her GLAMOUR A/W20 cover shoot, she was ready and willing to step back into the makeup chair. And boy are we glad she did, serving up three epic
We didn’t see ourselves spending the run-up to Christmas baking treats for absolutely no-one at all, but this is where we find ourselves at the close of 2020. Honestly, it felt like we had peaked when the nation became total pros at baking banana bread at the height of the pandemic, because despite being unable
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone.

Much as the case has been with previous releases in her discography, the warmth of Justine Blazer’s lead vocal in the new single “Just Sing” is definitely reason enough to take a peek at the song this winter. Delivered to us with a gentle swing that syncs up with the percussive component in the mix
Cold in tone but naturally seductive as if to extend the duality of the composition itself, Ava Maybee’s lead vocal is reason enough to take a look at the new single “Lay Low” and its accompanying music video this December, but hardly the only feature worth writing home about. Maybee straddles a definitively clubbish groove
Sherry Nelson is always well endowed with positivity and light. A supermodel, a TV co-host, a writer, a business woman, and someone that finds time for everything that matters. She has become a mini influencer because of her innocence and authentic honesty. If there is no path ahead Sherry finds the stars to follow. She
Harrington easily joins top tiered Singer/Songwriters with the performance of his new Single “Over the Mountain”, but seems intent with his musical composition to get one foot on a more commercial-savvy platform – ripe for Christmas. Hence the single effectively blends a solid beat in the background, coupled with traditional Caribbean-styled keyboarding and an electric
It’s safe to say there’s really nothing about 2020 that we’re not over at this point, and that includes basically everything we wore Fashion will never be the defining aspect of this year, but the trends that were definitely capture the zeitgeist of lockdown, an unprecedented period in history that we’re all ready to move
There’s no better time than a national lockdown to test out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a snazzy new hair treatment or at-home facial system, only to find out it
I first met Ashley Madekwe just over a year ago in a bustling London hotel bar to talk about her latest movie, County Lines which was showing at the BFI London Film Festival later that night. Little did we know at that time that the simple idea of being surrounded by so many people or

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have been eating outdoors at restaurants in an effort to enjoy some semblance of normality while avoiding indoor areas, which generally pose a higher risk for Coronavirus spread. But now that winter and colder temperatures are here, businesses have started to enclose those outdoor areas, thus turning them
This Christmas, everything feels a little off, from socially-distanced crackers to furloughed reindeer.

If you’ve checked any form of social the last few days, you probably don’t need a reminder that peak sale season is currently in full swing. You can also skip the mind game of sorting through thousands of markdowns across all the big fashion sites, because I did the heavy lifting for you. Of all
We don’t mean to sound negative, but 2020 has been *kind of* a disappointment hasn’t it? It seems like a lifetime ago that we entered the fresh new decade full of excitement and optimism for the ‘new roaring 20s’ before Coronavirus promptly put a stop to that. From cancelled weddings, postponed holidays, time lost with
2020, it’s been a ride. In a year that took so much from us, we have to count our blessings for one thing: Google. From ‘fun things to do at home‘ and ‘where to buy a face mask‘, to ‘the best jigsaw puzzles‘ and ‘who the hell is Carole Baskin’, we turned to the search
