When Devon Brooks walks into a room, one gets the sense that a very contained tornado has entered the room. Her manner is bold and self-assured, yet every few minutes she lets her guard down and an adorable quirk comes bubbling up to the surface. Brooks is, of course, the co-founder of blo blow dry bar , the Vancouver-based chain of no cut, no colour, blow-dry only salons that count Gwyneth Paltrow as an investor . Brooks started blo with her mom Judy Brooks, when she was only 21 years old. They based the business model on the concept of the “lipstick index,” a term coined to illustrate that women splurge on affordable luxuries, like lipstick, in time of recessions. Adhering to the lipstick index allowed blo to flourish as it launched in 2007, a year before the worst recession in history since the Great Depression. Brooks left blo after four years to become a life coach and is now on the verge of launching a new business; an app called Sphere that launches in July. Sp...

Capturing just what life’s like for musicians on the road, away from family and friends for weeks at a time, is Canadian singer/songwriter Charlotte Cardin’s new music video for her single ‘California.’ “Miss you every day, LA got me so sad,” go the lyrics of the dreamy, languid track. “I wanna kiss your face, tonight it drives me mad.” And then: “But you’re standing where I’m not/ Oh where I’m not/ in California.” The entire video is filmed on an iPhone, and includes shots of Cardin on the road in the Golden State, performing in dimly lit venues, lazing in bed, interspersed with shots of the ocean, palm trees and clear California skies. The series of clips includes iPhone video footage and FaceTime calls, mixed in with content from her Snapchats and Instagram Stories. “I chose to film the music video ‘California’ while on tour, and mostly in California, as it felt rude not to,’ says Cardin. “The song is about missing someone far away, so filming it in selfie mode on iPhone X made ...

So it looks like Pusha-T was right . Drake does indeed appear to have a son that he had been keeping secret—until now. On his new 25-song album Scorpion, which dropped last night, Drake all but confirmed it in a series of lyrics on different songs. Below, all the times he alluded to having a son and being a new father. On ‘Emotionless’: “Look at the way we live / I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid. From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate / until you staring at your seed, you can never relate.” On ‘8 Out of 10’: “The only deadbeats is whatever beats I been rappin’ to / Never a matter of could I or should I / Kiss my son on his forehead and kiss your ass good-bye / As luck would have it I’m settled into my role as the good guy.” On ‘March 14’: “Yesterday morning was crazy / I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe / That shit is in stone, sealed and signed / She’s not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mi...

When Lorna Tucker began filming her documentary on Vivienne Westwood, friends and family of the designer warned her that no matter how the film turned out, Westwood wouldn’t like it. Armed with that knowledge, she began filming footage for “Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist,” an affectionate portrait of the transgressive designer featuring scenes as intimate as the designer rolling out of bed in the morning. However, those initial predictions turned out to be correct. Vivienne Westwood has lashed out against her portrayal in the film, which she called “mediocre” in an eviscerating statement issued from her brand. pic.twitter.com/zSW8ywNDzX — Vivienne Westwood (@FollowWestwood) January 19, 2018 Tucker first met Westwood when some musician friends of hers alerted her that Vivienne Westwood was coming down to their studio to record a rap song with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. The director grabbed her camera and headed to the studio. “When she walked in, she was wearing 6...

Once when Los Angeles-based natural perfumer Douglas Little met with his supplier, he was handed a brown paper bag containing a wildly fragrant stash. Another time, the man showed up in a coffee shop toting a silver Zero Halliburton attaché. After they sat down, he opened the case to reveal tiny bottles held in place by a custom Styrofoam mould. The heady fragrances in the vials quickly drew a crowd of interested patrons. “He’s my L.A. connection to a distiller—a true artist—in India who makes this incredible blue lily absolute,” explains Little, who is also the nose behind Goop’s innovative fragrance line . The booming market for natural-fragrance molecules is being driven by consumers who are interested in avoiding certain ingredients. “Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates are often found in synthetic fragrances,” says Dr. Ebru Karpuzoglu, an Atlanta-based immunologist. “DBP and DEP, in particular, are frequently used to enhance the strength of the scent. But the FDA doe...
