Vacation Inc revamps their beloved Orange Gelée Anyone who has ever subscribed to beach culture likely knows the impact of Orange Gelée, the iconic balm-to-oil tanning gel with an instantly recognizable orange tint and a summery smell. First launched in France during the 1920s, this must-have sun staple went on to become a non-negotiable for beachgoers from the 1970s onwards, until it was discontinued in 2019. If you’re one of the 15,000+ customers on Vaction Inc’s waitlist eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new Orange Gelée SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel, you’ll be happy to hear that the wait is finally over.

I saw a clip of Meryl Streep making the rounds on TikTok recently. She was on a panel hosted by The Washington Post . “Women have learned to speak the language of men; they have lived in the house of men all their lives,” she said, underscoring women’s fluency within a man’s world — in Hollywood and otherwise. “Women speak men. But men don’t speak women.” Over on the runways, however, men seem to be able to “speak” women just fine. Gucci, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Valentino , Burberry, Saint Laurent, Celine, Bottega Veneta and Loewe are all major luxury brands headed up by male creative directors. And now, with the departure of its longtime lead Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen joins the already lengthy list. These high-up designers, like Jonathan Anderson at Loewe and Gucci’s recently appointed Sabato De Sarno, aren’t just speaking; they’re telling — telling women what to wear. Along the way, they’re racking up billions in sales, courting celebrity favour and earning breathless pre...

This article was originally published on November 23, 2022, and has been updated. Update: More than a year after leaving Gucci, Alessandro Michele was named the new creative director of Valentino on March 28. This appointment comes just days following the announcement that Pierpaolo Piccioli would be stepping down from the role after 25 years. Michele’s first day at the Italian couture house is April 2, 2024, according to Vogue Business . His debut collection will be unveiled for Spring 2025, which is reportedly set to show during Paris Fashion Week this upcoming September. In a statement posted to Instagram, Michele hinted at his vision for the brand. “My first thought goes to this story: to the richness of its cultural and symbolic heritage, to the sense of wonder it constantly generates, to the very precious identity given with their wildest love by founding fathers, Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti,” he wrote in part. How will his memorable maximalist flair translate...

Warning: Contains minor spoilers for episodes 1-4 of Palm Royale . They say clothing can tell you a lot about a person, but in Palm Royale , the new series from Apple TV+, it actually tells you literally nothing. Set in 1969 in Palm Beach, Florida and based on the 2018 novel Mr & Mrs. American Pie by Juliet McDaniel, the series follows Maxine Simmons (played by Kristen Wiig), a down-on-her-luck transplant via Tennessee and Georgia. Maxine is trying to find her way into the group of elite women that run the east coast enclave, comprised of Evelyn Rollins (Allison Janney), Dinah Donohue (Leslie Bibb) and a host of other women. Her way in? The Palm Royale beach club. Shortly after scaling the wall of the elite club and sidling in the back door, a detained Maxine pleads her case to stay, emphasizing everything the storied institution has come to symbolize. “The Palm Royale represents safety in a rapidly changing world,” Maxine says. “Embodying that which is sacred; refined companion...
