Innholdsfortegnelse for October 2024 i FASHION

THESE DAYS, WE’RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT ERAS. I’m delighted to share that here at FASHION, we are entering an exciting new one of our own. For nearly 47 years, FASHION has been a force in the publishing industry. In the face of change, which is constant in media—particularly in the spaces of style and culture—we have led the evolution, providing a platform for self-expression. Collaboration, pushing boundaries, amplifying all voices, embracing diversity and celebrating individuality are core values at the beating heart of our brand. This summer, I celebrated my 20th anniversary with FASHION, which had me reflecting on where we are now and on all the incredible experiences I have been a part of while growing this brand. To know me is to understand that when I’m passionate…

While it may have been Marilyn who first suggested that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, late Tiffany & Co. jeweller Elsa Peretti was the one who democratized the gemstone. Shortly after joining the brand in 1974, Peretti created Diamonds by the Yard. The idea was simple: Combine fine, fluid chains with flatly framed stones. The result? Diamond jewellery that was more wearable and (more importantly) accessible. It was a historic shift in the jewellery industry—women realized they didn’t need to wait for a ring; they could buy the damn diamonds themselves. In honour of that empowering message and the 50th anniversary of Peretti’s arrival at Tiffany & Co., the luxury house is celebrating the designer’s legacy by reissuing and reinterpreting some of her most iconic creations, including Diamonds by…

At night, the skin barrier is extra prone to moisture loss. The latest addition to the Advanced Night Repair line features hyaluronic and polyglutamic acids to repair skin, plus lipids and peptides to create a cocoon-like effect and lock moisture in. Thanks to a formula loaded with peptides and a 12 per cent hyaluronic acid solution, this mask delivers mega-hydration while you sleep so you can wake up looking plumped and refreshed. This overnight balm features omega- and fatty-acid-rich oils, like almond, olive and linseed, to visibly soothe and calm redness and irritation. Know you’ll be reaching for a bold lip in the morning? A ceramide-rich overnight treatment is a must for protecting your pout from dryness and cracking while you sleep.…

“When you create, you should feel like you’re in danger,” says Francis Kurkdjian. The perfumer, who joined Dior as the brand’s perfume creation director in 2021, is seated at the head of a long table, surrounded by perfume bottles and scent strips, in a room on the grounds of Château de La Colle Noire (formerly Christian Dior’s house) in the south of France. The tree-lined estate is complete with a tranquil outdoor pool, lush gardens and 18th-century-style interiors. Christian Dior purchased the home in 1950 and kept renovating it until his death in 1957, and today the entire invitation-only property remains exactly how Dior designed it during those seven years. “True creation involves insecurity,” says Kurkdjian. (I cannot stress just how difficult it is to imagine the world-renowned perfumer feeling…

“You’ve blown my mind a little bit,” Folarin Orimolade, a defensive lineman for the Toronto Argonauts, tells me. We’re sitting in his Toronto condo, chatting about his sneaker collection. So far, we’ve covered the basics: how many pairs he has (about 70), when his kicks fixation started (in fifth grade) and how he chooses which pairs to purchase (almost always style over colour). But my last question—“What do you hope your sneakers say about you?”—has caused this charmingly chatty man to go quiet. Well, for a moment anyway. “My shoes represent where I come from,” the Canadian Football League player shares. “But they’re also really reflective of my childhood. Certain shoes bring back certain memories.” You see, for Orimolade (who goes by “Flo”), being a sneakerhead is in his DNA.…

Ever heard of sports? You know, those high-energy competitions in which people run, jump and occasionally throw things? Well, apparently, they’re not just for scoring points and winning medals anymore! From the rapid rise of Adidas Sambas to TikTok’s blokecore trend to the Challengers press tour, the worlds of fashion and sports have never been more intertwined. This is nothing new, of course—think the popularity of Nike Air Jordans, Serena Williams’s iconic tennis skirts and the use of team jerseys in street style. But in 2024, the marriage of sports and fashion is reaching 10s across the board. Athletes are the faces of luxury fashion houses—LeBron James for Thom Browne, Carlos Alcaraz for Louis Vuitton and Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos for Dior, to name a few. We’re even seeing…

You already know that working out is good for your mind and body, but did you know that it has skincare benefits, too? “It gets the heart pumping and boosts blood circulation, which gives the skin a healthy radiance,” says Dr. Geeta Yadav, founder of Facet Dermatology in Toronto. “Those who exercise regularly even have higher hydration levels in the skin barrier, which helps skin stay balanced and healthy.” But if you’re not taking care of your complexion before and after that mat sesh or spin class, you could be setting the stage for redness, breakouts and UV damage. PRE-WORKOUT If you’re exercising midday and you’ve got a full face of makeup on, it’s a good idea to remove it first. “Sweating occurs to regulate our temperature; if our pores…

“I’ve always showcased different hairstyles on the court,” says American tennis pro Coco Gauff. The 20-year-old, who has won seven Women’s Tennis Association singles titles, including the 2023 US Open, and nine doubles titles, certainly has a lot on her plate. And earlier this spring, she added one more title to her impressive resumé: beauty-brand ambassador. Gauff teamed up with natural-haircare brand Carol’s Daughter in a partnership that she calls a perfect fit. “I’ve been using the products for years, and I want to inspire women—especially women of colour—to embrace and celebrate their natural beauty and feel confident and proud in their own skin,” she says. Carol’s Daughter and Gauff are hardly the only sports-and-beauty pairing of late. In fact, the two industries have become a match made in heaven,…

“I don’t want to be somebody who doesn’t have an opinion. I feel like being opinionated is a lost art these days; people are either quiet or they have the worst f*cking opinion ever,” laughs Tefi Pessoa. “Being a professional yapper can be tough.” Though if you’ve ever watched her TikToks, you’ll know that she makes it seem effortless. The content creator, internet personality and pop-culture critic boasts two million followers across TikTok and Instagram and has become known for her unique brand of humour meets honesty meets thorough celebrity deep dives. Today, Pessoa is calling from her New York City apartment to tell me all about her 22 tattoos. It seems like an easy enough task, but I soon learn that it’s nearly impossible to get through a minute…

The beloved weekly scalp scrub features a genius combo of charcoal and coconut oil. The former detoxifies and unclogs hair follicles, while the latter adds hydration back into the hair and scalp. This clinically tested serum is formulated with biotin and caffeine and has been shown to increase hair density (read “thicker, fuller and healthier-looking hair”) by up to three times. A heat-protectant cream is a must when you’re blow-drying your hair. Why not do double duty with one that also smooths strands and minimizes frizz? You may already know that rosemary oil is an excellent scalp stimulator, but its signature tingle is less than ideal. Briogeo’s prewash offering is loaded with nourishing lipids that provide an ultra-gentle, tingle-free experience. The brand’s hero multi-award-winning deep-conditioning mask is formulated to strengthen…

The passing of Virgil Abloh in 2021 left the next designer to take the reins at Off-White with some big shoes to fill. Thankfully, the brand’s creative director, Ibrahim Kamara, is a force in his own right, having worked with Dior, Burberry and Fenty (as well as Rihanna herself). For his first official collection with the luxury-disrupting label, Kamara didn’t hold back. Sporty references were aplenty, from leather varsity jackets to remixed rugby polos. But the MVP might be the silver-chain-encased black basketball bag created in collaboration with sporting goods brand Wilson. Of course, given the fervour surrounding everything Off-White touches, the limited-run bags were sold exclusively to the lucky few who won a draw held by the brands. Talk about being a ball hog.…

Every now and again, when makeup artist Isabel Rose is in the mood to, you know, feel something, she will run a mundane errand sporting a supremely odd set of eyebrows. Posting to an audience of over 573,000 on Instagram, the beauty enthusiast (@isabellrrose) has a robust online portfolio of pencil-thin arches, from sunken sorrowful slants to werewolf-inspired darts. Naturally, after sharing these ornate creations with the internet, she likes to go out and bask in the reactions of strangers IRL. “It’s funny how people will treat you differently based on how your brows are shaped,” Rose says. A 1930s-esque half-moon can give her a glamorous edge, while downward-shaped dashes might make her look meek. “Eyebrows frame the face. They’re the communicators; they show people how you’re feeling, what you’re…

They say you can tell a lot about a person by how they take their coffee. Myself? Hot, cold, room temperature, a day old—it doesn’t matter; I’ll drink it all. What does that say about me? Makeup artist Mary Phillips, on the other hand, likes her coffee to be “either really, really hot or really, really cold.” I overhear Phillips placing her (very respectable) order as I walk into the room to interview her, and she tells me that she’s never understood how people can make a cup of coffee and leave it out before returning to a lukewarm cup an hour later. (Guilty…and ashamed.) So, what does it say about Phillips that she takes her hot coffee scalding hot and her iced coffee ice-cold? If you’re down to read…
