High school was a long time ago, but I’ll never forget the time I got cheated on by someone I considered a friend. One morning she came to my locker to complain about a mutual friend. As a more immature person than I am now, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to gossip. So I was surprised when the friend we were chatting with later confronted me. My gossip partner made me look like a terrible friend and she was just an innocent bystander. That’s when I realized I was dealing with a traitor, just like the contestants on “Renegade.” The…
2024 is an especially good year for killer shopping. The Row’s Singer Bag! Celine sunglasses! Alaïa ballet flats! Adidas SL72! (Still a favorite of all Who What Wear I might add). Although all of these bestsellers come in different price points and styles, what they all have in common is their versatility. The only pieces in our wardrobes that get as much air are white tees, blazers, and, of course, jeans, so when I find out that celebs have had their legs done and found the perfect pair of jeans, I immediately stop steps. Could this be the pairing we’ve…
Even the swaggering Loki seemed oddly awed by the whole thing. “It feels surreal,” he told me shortly after touring the rest of Moncler’s metropolis, a large expanse of tarmac usually used as a conference center and dotted with custom installations of Owens’ cross-cultural creative Avengers. Glover, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Palm Angels, Nigo, Willow Smith, Edward Enninful, Lucie and Luke Meier of Jil Sander, Lulu Li and Rocky himself. Each so-called genius designed a range of technical sportswear in an Alpine style and was free to decide how to display his work. Rocky chose to create a Kubrick-esque living room, surrounded…

wattWhen your glutes and abs join forces, the results are undeniable. Together, they provide a solid foundation for improving posture, increasing stability, and building strength in every movement. Additionally, balancing the strength of your abdominal and gluteal muscles is crucial to preventing problems like hip and lower back pain. When one muscle group is stronger than another, it throws the pelvis out of balance, causing poor posture and increasing stress on the spine. “It’s crucial to balance glute training with training all other muscle groups, including your abs,” says Kelsey Wells, personal trainer on the Sweat app. “This can help…
For Spring 2025, Mancandy’s Andrés Jiménez draws inspiration from “the nervousness of being invited to a big event.” Having conquered the streetwear world, Jiménez asked himself: What would a more formal Mancandy look like? The answer stays true to the casual yet provocative nature of the brand, while also introducing a more elegant point of view. The most eye-catching one was a bright pink halterneck dress with slits on the sides.Jiménez expanded the concept of formalwear beyond eveningwear and incorporated elements of it into his more casual offerings. His color palette includes shades like purple and beige, paired with bold…
Just like a garden cannot flourish without healthy soil, the same goes for your hair and scalp. Sure, those tomato plants you impulse bought during the summer may be wilting and drooping, but with a proper scalp care routine, your hair will maintain healthy growth (not to mention shine, thickness, bounce, etc.). That’s why I’m so hesitant to admit that my scalp doesn’t get the love it deserves, aside from the occasional rinse with clarifying shampoo in the shower. So when beloved beauty brand Biologique Recherche invited me to the Paul Labrecque Salon and Skin Care Spa in New York…
