Virgil Abloh’s Off-White Collabs With Vilebrequin on Playful Swimsuits

 

For his latest collaborative effort, Virgil Abloh pairs Off-White with French swimwear brand Vilebrequin. Together the two offer five new swimsuit styles for Summer 2019.

Fashion designer Virgil Abloh’s label Off-White has always been known for its streetwear-focused pieces (hoodies, oversized T-shirts, sweatshirts and the like), but it has also dabbled in beachwear recently, albeit a relatively small selection seen in its Spring-Summer 2019 line-up for men. To expand the selection further and provide even more options for all, they have decided to team up with renowned swimwear brand Vilebrequin for a 5-piece capsule collection.

Vilebrequin, the French swimwear label is known for its luxurious trunks, cut to be both comfortable and flattering; here, they’re utilized by Off-White as a canvas upon which to express Abloh’s signature visual style.

The collection comes in colours and prints that’s very much in line with Off-White’s brand identity. Take the Moorise Arrows for example, which features the signature arrow logo, coming in either a Black or White version, while the Towel Diagonal comes with black and white stripes all over for a cool touch.

But if you prefer a pop of colour, go for the Moorise ‘Off’ Chartreuse which comes in a bright neon yellow, or opt for a chic floral print as seen in the Moorise All Over Flowers. Each swimsuit features an elasticated waistband, a zippered back pocket, a paperclip zipper pull, and co-branded tags.

The Off-White and Vilebrequin’s Summer 2019 collection will be officially launched worldwide on 13 June 2019, and will be available at all Off-White stores and selected Vilebrequin stores.

Gucci Is Relaunching Its Makeup Line With 58 Shades of Lipstick

Italian fashion house Gucci already dominates the fashion space, and is now expanding its sphere of influence into beauty. After first launching in 2014 and then disappearing, Gucci Beauty is making a highly anticipated comeback.

There’s something quite satisfying when a fashion house launches make-up – just look at brands like Armani, Burberry and Louboutin – so when Yakymour heard Gucci Beauty was making a comeback, we sat up.

This isn’t the Italian fashion house’s first foray into the world of luxury beauty though. It originally first launched products back in november 2014 when Frida Giannini was creative director (she was responsible for the green dress J-Lo wore on the cover of W magazine in 2013, and who was known for her glam Seventies vibe). The high end label dropped the collection of 200 lip, face and eye products under a partnership with Procter & Gamble. But when the P&G sold the entirety of its beauty portfolio in 2016, the brand halted its expansion within the space.

The products weren’t around for long though, but now Gucci Beauty is back with a vengeance. The new cosmetics line is part of the brand’s partnership with Coty, and the launch was officially announced today (3 May) in New York. This new drop reflects Michele’s on-going commitment to both the beauty space and a formidable eye for business growth. For the campaign, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele tapped Dani Miller, lead singer of Surfbort, and close friends and models Mae Lapres, Achok Majak, and Ellia Sophia – all were present and dressed the chic-rocker part (in Gucci, of course).

So lipstick lovers, brace yourselves. The Italian fashion house is releasing a new lipstick range. Inspired by Old-Hollywood, the 57-piece collection, envisioned by the brand’s creative director Alessandro Michele, arrives in the most romantic tube designs.

Lipstick is the most beautiful object you can find inside a handbag. It is the most fascinating because it has always had a beautiful scent — we made Gucci lipsticks perfumed with violet. Lipstick is a playful object because it recalls crayons that children colour with. Lipstick also symbolises the world of cinema, and all the famous lips from Hollywood.

Alessandro Michele

Michele, who launched Gucci’s new fragrance family to much acclaim, explains he was inspired by the vintage glamour of the Fifties, specifically ‘Hollywood divas and the mythology of cinema, which first put lips in the spotlight’. This is reflected in the names of the lipstick shades, from Jean Harlow to Greta Garbo to Bette Davis.

Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Satin

The range includes 36 shades of the Rouge à Lèvres Satin with a satin finish, 18 luminous shades Rouge à Lèvres Voile, and lip balms in three colors and one transparent variant – Baume à Lèvres.

Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Voile

A very special shade for Michelle is the one called 25 Goldie Red, which pays tribute to a Hollywood character named Goldie Red that he used to admire as a child. 25 is said to be Michelle’s lucky number. All of the finishes have a subtle violet scent. The lipsticks retail for $38 each.

Gucci Baume à Lèvres

As for the packaging, the new lipstick bullets come in Instagrammable gold tones featuring Art Deco geometric motifs as well as turquoise and ivory colours adorned with pink rosebuds. The one consistency for every Gucci lipstick is a golden base.

Gucci’s new lipstick line drops exclusively on Gucci.com on May 4, then in Gucci’s Fifth Avenue store on May 5, the Gucci beauty store in Saks Fifth Avenue on May 6 and Gucci’s Wooster Street store on May 13, and it’ll be available in Harrods and on Harrods.com from 28 May. The rollout will continue in select doors worldwide.

And this is just the beginning. The fashion house has also revealed that new products for eyes and face are in the making! Come into the beautiful world of Gucci.

 

 

 

 

Huda Beauty launches N.Y.M.P.H.

Body glitter is officially back, people. Once the regrettable beauty choice of the ’90s, the trend is now well and truly back with important celeb beauty backers like Rihanna and, most recently, Huda Kattan.

Looking to add a little shimmer to your next look? Huda Beauty has you covered…

Huda Beauty founder Huda Kattan announced the launch of her newest product: N.Y.M.P.H. The acronym stands for ‘Not Your Mama’s Panty Hose’ as the product acts like a second skin without the annoying problem of the waistband…

According to the brand, the product is ‘the ultimate body highlighter’ although it can be used on both the body and the face. It’s sweat-, transfer- and water-resistant meaning you can sparkle without worrying that you’ll lose your shine across the day or night.

Beyoncé’s Coachella legs served as the inspo for the product which is made using ‘light-reflecting pearl pigments that give the most insanely smooth, glossy finish’.

At Huda they were totally inspired by Beyoncé’s incredible, sexy legs at Coachella! Whenever she performs, she wears these amazing, shiny pantyhose that make her legs look even more fierce and completely flawless – she’s basically the closest thing we have to a goddess! They wanted to create that Beyoncé-on-stage effect, but for the entire body!

It’s available in three colours. Just like a nymph, N.Y.M.P.H. gives a major goddess glow to the skin, so they named each shade after a powerful Roman Goddess. Luna (perfect for fair and light tones,  soft white gold, rose gold, and silver pearls illuminate the skin for a glowing complexion), Aphrodite (packed with rich gold pearls for a golden, bronzed finish, Aphrodite adds a stunning glow to tan and medium skin tones), and Aurora (A toasty copper shade loaded with warm gold and bronze pearls to add radiance to rich skin tones).

It creates an insane glow that blurs imperfections and adds a stunning, sun-kissed tint to the skin. It’s transfer, sweat, and water-resistant so it’s ideal for everyday wear, the beach, festivals or poolside.

This water-based formula with light-reflecting pearl pigments give the most insanely smooth, glossy finish. The formula blends easily into the skin for a streak-free finish that’s perfect for buffing into any area of the body you want to glow like a goddess.

How to glow like a goddess:

• Buff N.Y.M.P.H. into your cheekbones, shoulders, neckline or collar bones for a natural-looking glow or apply all over the legs and arms for a truly divine glow.
• Use the Huda Beauty Blur & Glow Brush to seamlessly buff the highlighter onto your face, legs, arms, shoulders, and collarbone for a natural-looking glow.
• Blend the formula quickly and build it up for more coverage. Apply 2-3 pumps to cover a large area or 1-2 pumps for a subtle glow.

Pro tip: Mix with your favorite foundation or moisturizer for added glow – I love to use it as a primer before foundation for the most insanely gorgeous, goddess-like skin.

 

 

The Blur & Glow Brush is the perfect accessory for evenly dispersing N.Y.M.P.H. onto your skin, the dense, synthetic hair-like bristles of our first body brush allows for controlled application and an airbrushed finish. Custom-cut with a wave-like surface, you can effortlessly apply the pearly formula for a perfectly pigmented glow.

Liquid Pantyhose: N.Y.M.P.H. Might Be Our Coolest Product Ever! You can get your shine on from May 3 online, and in-store from May 17. So mark your calendars!!

Come into the beautiful world of Huda Beauty.

Naomi Campbell fronts her first-ever beauty campaign

Despite her illustrious career with countless catwalks and campaigns under her belt, legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell has never fronted a beauty campaign. Until now, that is.

Naomi is a living icon and brings such strong personality to the camera. She and I are like family. I have known her since the very beginning of her career. From the start, I have admired her, her beauty, and her style.

François Nars

It’s rather mind-boggling that at 48, Campbell is still experiencing ‘firsts’ in her illustrious career. Of course, she is one of the original supermodels who rose to international superstardom in the ’80s and ’90s. And she’s been breaking barriers ever since. In 1988, she was the first black woman to appear on the cover of French Vogue, and in 1989, she was the first black model to grace American Vogue’s coveted September issue. And now it has been revealed that Naomi has landed her first-ever beauty campaign with NARS, appearing as the face of its Spring 2019 campaign.

With her first campaign image (above), shot by Mr Nars and with make-up by James Kaliardos, Campbell will front the Radiance Repowered range from January 2019. The campaign will include foundation shade extensions, a new Skin Deep Eye Palette and the Super Radiant Booster.

François and I are like family and the same goes for Nars. I am honoured to be a part of such an incredible brand for so long.

Naomi Campbell

Naomi has also picked out her favourite make-up products. They include the Taj Mahal Blush, Translucent Powder, Climax Mascara, 7 Deadly Sins Palette, Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil and Mambo Eyeliner. She’ll also front a new Orgasm campaign later in the year – representing an iconic product in the Nars line-up. Come into the beautiful world of NARS.
