As if this day couldn’t get any worse, as if women around the world weren’t already feeling simultaneously enraged and deflated after Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh’s testimonies in Washington yesterday, and nursing an emotional hangover the likes of which we haven’t collectively experienced since November 9, 2016, today Hedi Slimane presented his first collection for Celine. I suppose it makes some sort of twisted poetic sense that today was the day a fashion label beloved by women for its feminism, its eccentricity, its rich and nuanced understanding of how smart, accomplished women wanted to dress was laid to rest. At the hands of a man, no less. The Céline we knew and loved, led by a strong-willed and endlessly fascinating Phoebe Philo, is gone and what we have in its stead is a far cry from an intuitive manifestation of the way women want to dress. Slimane’s Celine is how men want women to dress. It’s barely-there mini dresses, it’s swinging and sparkly skirts, it’s s...

The British Museum is home to some of the greatest treasures in the world – The Rosetta Stone, Greek sculptures from the Parthenon, Ancient Egyptian sphinx statues, the list goes on… (Many would liken their ownership of such antiquities to cultural theft and demand their repatriation to countries of origin, but I digress.) As of now, the British Museum is home to one more treasure – these gorgeous talismans by Vancouver-based jewellery line Pyrrha . Pyrrha uses authentic wax seals to cast their antiquated-looking pieces, and this particular talisman depicts a suffragette being pulled by a horse, waving a banner that reads ‘Votes for Women.’ The imagery was gleaned from a lithograph by Theodore Blake Wirgman that appears in the museum’s new exhibition I object: Ian Hislop’s search for dissent which showcases objects of dissent in the British Museum’s collection. In this particular case, the dissent is related to first wave feminists fighting unjust laws that barred women f...

Parisian fashion designer Isabel Marant remembers hearing the L’Oréal Paris tag line “I’m worth it” as a teen. “It stood out, even for a teenage tomboy raiding her dad’s wardrobe and not subscribing to the feminine ideals of the time,” she says. Now there’s L’Oréal Paris x Isabel Marant, her 11-piece cosmetics collaboration with the French brand, which she based on “exactly what I want in my makeup bag.” There are seven lipsticks (ranging from nude to red to plum), a lip and cheek tint, a small smoky eyeshadow palette, a highlighter that also blurs and a transparent mascara that provides “a very natural, dewy, ‘just emerged from the water’ finish” and can also groom brows. “The look I envision is makeup without trying—slightly undone.” Yesterday in Paris, the collection was used backstage at Marant’s Spring/Summer 2019 show. Get your first look at how it was incorporated and shop the collection in the gallery below. Photography courtesy of L'Oréal Paris Pho...

“I do my concoction like a chemist,” says Iris Apfel, who, even when dining out, asks to mix her own Campari and soda because no one else seems to get it right. That drink is deemed “The Iris Apfel” in a new book titled Free the Tipple: Kickass Cocktails Inspired by Iconic Women by Vancouver writer Jennifer Croll and New York artist Kelly Shami. Illustration by Kelly Shami Among the 60 featured bevvies are one for designer Rei Kawakubo that turns black from activated charcoal and another that’s tinged Handmaid’s robe ruby (thanks to pomegranate juice) for Margaret Atwood. But the best way to say bye to summer is undoubtedly with spiked lemonade à la Beyoncé. Free the Tipple is now available and you can pick up your copy here .
