Christine Quinn is Just Playing the Villain
May 19, 2022 at 09:44PM Christine Quinn would like to clear the air, and who can blame her? Not since Spencer Pratt of The Hills has reality television conjured such a polarizing presence.

The Cult of Fandom Has Taken Over the Depp v Heard Trial
May 19, 2022 at 04:39PM I don’t know Johnny Depp. I mean, I know that he is an actor, but I don’t know him as a person. So why, since being completely consumed by the trial between him and his estranged ex-wife Amber Heard, does it feel like I do?

Time is a Construct at Gucci’s Cosmogonie Show
May 17, 2022 at 09:03PM Does time mean anything anymore in fashion? If trend cycles repeat every 20 years (take Y2K’s resurgence as one example), can anything ever be considered new?

May 17, 2022 at 02:00PM Growing up, skin was everything. I remember hearing my mom lament over the fact that she wasn’t raised to take care of her skin. Instead of sunscreen, she’d lather herself up in baby oil and lay out in the sun to roast. She was determined
Is Early 2000s Paparazzi Culture Back?
May 16, 2022 at 10:46PM The early 2000s was the golden age of the paparazzi, and the photos captured then (be it Britney Spears wearing a “Dump Him” T-shirt on a coffee run or Kim Kardashian taking a painful sip of vodka at the club) have lived on like sullied

The Soap Opera-fication of Selling Sunset
May 13, 2022 at 07:41PM I started watching Selling Sunset the year after it had first premiered, when a coworker promised I’d fall in love with “the mean one in the black wedding gown.” She was right, because after only a few episodes, I was enraptured by Christine Quinn’s cinematic
Louis Vuitton’s Cruise Woman is the Main Character
May 13, 2022 at 05:37PM Everyone has their rituals when buying new shoes. Some walk around the store. Others might jump up and down on the spot. But my friend and I put prospective purchases through a “run away test.” What is the run away test, you might ask? It’s

How I Reclaimed Indian Beauty Rituals for Myself
May 13, 2022 at 04:28PM As an on-air culture commentator, I often get to watch films and TV shows before they’re released to the public. Admittedly, I’m a little choosy with what I spend my time watching. But when a preview for season two of Netflix’s Bridgerton became available, I
Texture Talk: Meet Our Latest Curl Crush, Curve Model Brittnee Blair
May 12, 2022 at 05:42PM America’s Next Top Model may not have gotten everything right when it comes to what the fashion industry truly entails, but the drama between contestants did have a certain degree of accuracy — at least according to model and reality-television star Brittnee Blair. Her own

May 11, 2022 at 09:23PM In theory, clothing can never be ugly. I mean, at its core, styling is all about self-expression. So what makes us think that some things are fashionable and others are not? That’s the question surrounding the new “weird girl aesthetic.” Earlier this week, a tweet
Bri Scalesse Wants to See More Disabled Models
May 11, 2022 at 07:28PM Bri Scalesse’s favourite part of modelling is the runway — the chaotic energy backstage, the palpable excitement beaming off the audience and the adrenalin that comes from using her body to make a piece of art come to life. “It’s such a shift in the
Casual Instagram is Still a Performance
May 11, 2022 at 06:45PM I was an early adopter of Instagram. Over a decade ago, I downloaded the then-brand-new app onto my iPod Touch and began haphazardly documenting moments in my young adolescence: my colourful socks, the movie playing on my TV, a duck-face mirror selfie. My clumsy collection
Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry Is A Subversive Fashion Star
