One of the best packing tips I’ve ever received is to always bring a silk scarf . Why? Because you never know when you’re going to need it. What if your luggage gets lost in transit and you’re left with only a white t-shirt? A brilliantly coloured neckerchief will instantly elevate your outfit. What if you misread the weather report, and instead of the balmy temperatures you dressed for, it’s a scorching sunny day? A slinky square of fabric makes the perfect impromptu bandeau top. And God forbid you get trapped in a tower Disney Princess style, and you miraculously remembered to pack fifty scarves. You can tie them all together and escape your evil stepmother equivalent. So, if you need a style refresher or just some warm weather dressing inspiration, here is how to style a silk scarf this summer. The classic Photography by Getty Images The silk scarf is an iconic accessory for a reason: everyone has worn it. From Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday to Meryl Streep in The Devil Wea...

Cannes brings together everything we love in one magical place: film, fashion, beauty and meme-worthy moments (will anything ever beat Timothee Chalamet resting his head on Tilda Swinton’s shoulder?). The festival may have fallen a little short on the latter but it was a glamorous event nonetheless. And after all, isn’t everything just more beautiful against the backdrop of the French Riveria? If you missed any of the action, we’ve compiled the best moments from the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Only Cannes can give you Anne Hathaway 2.0 Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway. Photography courtesy of Getty Images Cannes has a new princess. Who would have thought the media-shy actor would be the most talked about celebrity of the festival? When she wasn’t turning heads on and off the red carpet in her many outfits, Hathaway’s chemistry with her Armageddon Time co-star, Succession ’s Jeremy Strong, stole away social media’s attention (the film also got a seven-minute standing ovation!). Onl...

BOSS X PHIPPS is the sustainable collection you didn’t know you needed Photography courtesy of BOSS On paper, BOSS and PHIPPS might seem like an unexpected pairing.

As brands, we both want to pave a...

There’s a scene in the original Jumanji movie where a young Alan Parrish (Robin Williams) visits his dad’s factory, The Parrish Shoe Company. One of the workers, Carl, pulls him aside to reveal his latest creation: what appears to be a replica of the Air Max 2 Nike Charles Barkelys. “This is the future,” he says. “If I can get Wilt Chamberlain to wear them, I predict there will be a pair of these in every closet in America.” Alan then mistakenly destroys the shoes, a rather large piece of equipment, and Carl’s career. That was 1995. In the years leading up to that moment, some of today’s most sought-after sneakers were hitting the shelves (and closets) of America and beyond. (The Nike Air Jordan 1 OG Breds, released in 1985, are valued at some US$94,000 today — and that’s just the lowest asking price, per DealA. ) We may never know the resale value of Carl’s fictional shoe, but it’s safe to say he had the right marketing strategy. Whether the kicks did indeed represent the future o...
