Pyer Moss first collaborated with Reebok in the spring of 2016, when they debuted a hardened streetwear collection of mens and womenswear during New York Fashion Week. Now it looks like the dynamic duo will be extending their partnership with the creation of a new line called Reebok Studies_, where Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean-Raymond will serve as artistic director. According to a press release, Reebok Studies_ is all about “fostering and developing young design talent” by working independently with upcoming designers, artists and personalities. The blank underscore at the end of the name exists as a placeholder for whoever the brand chooses to collaborate with. Though the brand will be designed by Jean-Raymond, he will focus on designing each collection with one new subject at a time. “The idea would be that Reebok studies ‘X’ personality and do a deep-dive and focus on that person,” said Jean-Raymond in an interview with HYPEBEAST .  “I felt like there was a...

You’d be hard pressed in this day and age to walk into a café and not find a version of avocado toast on the menu. It’s reached the point where the dish has not only taken over the food scene, but developed into something bigger, transcending its spot on the plate to become a cultural symbol of sorts and (let’s not forget) the butt of almost every millennial joke . But while it’s clear we are living in avocado crazed times, the green pear-shaped fruit hadn’t reached the skincare industry until now, with the launch of  Glow Recipe’s   Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask . You may already know about the brand’s  watermelon version . The millennial pink mask was an instant hit with customers, selling out seven times over on their website and garnering a wait list of more than 8,000 people at Sephora. “People loved the lightweight texture and the AHAs that resurfaced skin effectively,” says Sarah Lee, co-CEO and co-founder of Glow Recipe. “We heard from our customers that they wa...

For those who don’t consider themselves great cooks (🙋🙋🙋), written recipes can be pretty intimidating, especially if said non-cooks are visual learners. Why else do you think those quick one-minute how-to video recipes on your Instagram and Facebook feeds are so popular? Seeing the actual recipe come to life on a screen makes it seem less daunting, and it doesn’t hurt if the dish itself looks extra tasty (more incentive to make it!). Having said that, written instructions are still helpful, especially for listing ingredients or referencing a step you may have missed at a glance. So wouldn’t it be great if you could have a cookbook with both the written recipe  and a how-to video to go along with it? Best-selling author Greta Podleski’s book Yum & Yummer —the first cookbook ever to feature written instructions, full-page food photos and how-to-videos for every single recipe—gives you all the options you need. “If Instagram, Pinterest and Buzzfeed Tasty had a baby, this co...

In a partnership between the MTV television network and the Council of Fashion Designers of America , Marc Jacobs will receive the Fashion Vanguard Award on August 26. As one of the most innovative and important contemporary designers working today, we can’t think of anyone more deserving of the award. “For some reason Marc’s show is always the most important place to be seen, the one place where you know all the people who matter will be,” a fan of Jacobs’ once told the New York Times . Marc Jacobs launched his namesake line in 1986 and has been pushing creative boundaries to their outer limits ever since. Perhaps the most memorable instance of his insouciant creativity was the 1993 grunge collection he did for Perry Ellis, where languid models strutted down the runway in oversized flannels and slouchy beanies. Though the collection led to his dismissal from Perry Ellis, it has become a fan favourite and key pieces from the collection were recently reissued in a special “Redux Grun...

Here’s a monthly breakdown of all the movies and TV series we can’t wait to stream. Everything Coming to Netflix GLOW Season 3 We last saw the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling weighing an offer to take their show on the road—to Las Vegas.

Bonus: Geena Davis as a casino owner! Available August 9. Mindhunter Season 2 The ten chilling episodes of Season 1 revolved around the early development of the FBI’s Behavioural Science Unit in 1977, when criminal psychology and serial killers were barely understood.

Otherhood Felicity Huffman, Angela Bassett and Patricia Arquette play three suburban moms who decide to pay their fully-grown—and very distant—sons...

There is a lot of pressure placed upon modern women. In our pursuit of a perfect life, we’re tasked with climbing the career ladder, maintaining healthy relationships, sharing photos with followers from around the globe and when we’re ready, raising a family. Then, on top of these hallmarks of success, we’re expected to make time for candlelit baths, meditation classes and fine-line reducing facemasks. We’re juggling a lot of balls as we strive towards the pedestal of perceived perfection. As the stress to achieve ultimate life balance has intensified, we often turn to the top-shelves of our bathrooms, where dozens of skincare products promise just a small piece of the perfection we seek. In our fast-paced lives, skincare routines feel like something we can take control of; that lineup of jars and bottles are a security blanket, of sorts. However, smooth and dewy skin—the kind that’s reminiscent of a glowing Instagram filter—can be an overwhelming endeavour. It requires extensive re...

As July rolls into August, we are slowly but surely reaching the end of summer (*sheds single tear*). As the hot weather has now made the annual transition from welcome to unbearable, it’s difficult to pull an outfit together that’s not just denim cut-offs and a t-shirt. But all is not lost. There’s still one month left of sunshine and hot weather, which is just enough time to switch out your standard denim cut-offs with something a bit different. This summer, seemingly every influencer — see:  Amanda Steele , Marie von Behrens , and Claudia Sulewski, — has been spotted wearing a pair of denim bermuda cut-offs. While they do remind us a bit of middle school dress codes, stars like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez have established extra-long denim shorts as a strong contender for the ‘It’ trend of summer 2019. Below, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite denim bermuda shorts for you to browse through while soaking up the sun. ...

Whether you’re lazing at the cottage with hours at your disposal or just squeezing in a few chapters here and there between hectic summer activities, there’s a buzzy new book out there for you. From breezy beach reads to thought-provoking essays and beyond, here’s what we’re adding to our reading list. Fleishman Is in Trouble Remember that viral Gwyneth Paltrow profile by Taffy Brodesser-Akner? Or the one about Bradley Cooper’s reticence? The New York Times writer’s debut novel about ambition, divorce and mid-life upheavals—told through an unexpected but very satisfying narrative conceit—is all set to be her next runaway hit. “When I turned 40, my friends started getting divorced,” Brodesser-Akner tells the Guardian , about the impetus for the novel. “I wanted to understand it better because I had so much anxiety about divorce – from the minute I agreed to marry my husband, I have been in an obsessive defence against our marriage ending.” Available now. On Earth We’re Briefly Gor...

When Dame Helen Mirren greets me at the door of her hotel suite, my immediate reaction is to curtsy. Not just because she has played the Queen and is the female equivalent of a knight but because the woman is so well respected that, quite frankly, she deserves it. But rather than tut-tutting and nodding, as you would expect from someone with a distinguished title, she radiates warmth with a wide, open smile and ushers me in. The publicists quickly scatter, and suddenly we’re one-on-one. Her outfit of a long-sleeved black and white polka-dot dress cinched with a patent-leather belt accessorized with pearl drop earrings and black leather booties is elegant with flourishes of badassery—just like the actress herself. “Why has it taken so long? It’s very annoying. It’s the first time in my life that I wish I were younger.” Mirren is in Toronto to host L’Oréal Paris’s Women of Worth Awards Gala as one of the company’s brand ambassadors (she’s the face of Age Perfect Cell Renewal Rosy ...

Following the success of the duo’s first collection in Spring/Summer 2019, UNIQLO has announced that they will be teaming up with the Northern Irish designer yet again. The new Fall/Winter collection with JW Anderson will be launching in October and follows the theme “Great British Outdoors.” In a press release, Anderson explained, “For this latest collection with UNIQLO we really kept to the idea of British classics. There are some elements like tartan fabrics that are instantly recognizable as British, but then unique in that we have remade them to also be LifeWear.” This collection will see the combination of UNIQLO’s attentiveness when it comes to fit and functionality, and Jonathan Anderson’s reputation for innovative designs that embody British tradition. LifeWear is UNIQLO’s every day wear designed for simplicity and longevity. It is a line that is constantly evolving to fit the need of the consumer, and will be a central component to JW Anderson’s collection with the brand. ...

I’m going on my first camping trip in a few weeks. Normally  dry shampoo  would be number one on my packing list for an excursion where running water won’t be on the menu, but I’m taking a sabbatical from them at the moment. As a fine-haired, shampoo-every-other-day person, I’ve always been a heavy dry shampoo user, misting various oil-absorbing powders along my hairline, and around my crown to boost volume. But after using it every other day this past winter, my already dry scalp started to resemble aerial images of cracked earth, so I’m taking a break. For those devoted to weekly blowouts (or the snooze button), it’s hard to imagine life without dry shampoo. But it wasn’t always a styling staple, says hairstylist Kevin Mancuso. Early in his career, the now global creative director for Nexxus remembers Psssst! (a successor to Minipoo,  considered one of the first commercial dry shampoos), being frowned upon by the industry. “The 70s and 80s were about washing you...

By all accounts, Kanye West’s Sunday services are joyous affairs. Based on leaked footage from the invite-only, celebrity-studded events – reportedly Orlando Bloom, Courtney Love and David Letterman have all attended – an identically-dressed gospel choir performs masterful renditions of Christian standards while accompanied by a live band. The choir is reportedly flown into whichever location West has decided to hold the service in that week, and has backed up the musician on spiritual adaptations of his own songs. West’s wife Kim Kardashian swears the services are more concert than church service, but it does seem as if everyone who attends has congregated to worship – whether that’s at the altar of Jesus or Kanye West remains to be seen. Now it seems West is looking to harness the success of Sunday service by potentially creating a themed clothing line around it. According to WWD , West filed a trademark for “Sunday Service” on July 19 th  that includes “bottoms, dresses, ...

When one thinks of Coco Chanel, the first thing that comes to mind is likely a string of pearls, or a “little black dress.” But in addition to being one of the most influential fashion designers of the 20 th century, she was also an accomplished costume designer. Chanel designed loose-fitting costumes for the Ballet Russes and the flapper-inspired costumes for Alain Resnais’ 1961 film Last Year at Marienbad, which is playing at the TIFF Bell Lightbox later this summer. Last Year at Marienbad  tells the story of a man trying to convince a woman of a previous relationship they shared; an affair that the woman doesn’t seem to remember. Its mysterious narrative disrupts the traditional cinematic chronological constraints to make way for an avant-garde blend between reality and fiction. It is considered one of the most important works to emerge from the French New Wave movement and was awarded the Golden Lion — the highest honour a film can receive — at the Venice Film Festival in ...
