Meet the Designer Behind Instagram’s Coolest Dress
Long before she was a bona fide designer, Fisayo Longe was an influencer with an affinity for creating her own clothes. “When I would travel, I would go fabric shopping and design clothing to make with the fabric. I noticed that I got a lot of questions on my blog and socials for these pieces,” the designer explained. And so Kai Collective was born. However, the brand is not simply about gorgeous dresses. “I wanted to create a womenswear brand that was more than clothing—a community,” Longe continued. “Women, especially where I come, from are not raised with enough self-assurance and confidence. I am passionate about women discovering and reclaiming our power and importance. I wanted to build a brand that enables that through what I know, fashion an...
2021 BMW 4 Series Convertible First Look: The Cloth Top Cometh
Luckily, there are some notable changes over this car’s predecessor that might make it more appealing—provided you can get past its mug. For 2021, the 4 Series ‘vert drops the heavy, power-folding hardtop of its forebear for a cloth unit. The new cloth drop-top is 40 percent lighter than the folding roof from the previous car. By switching to a soft top, BMW managed to rid the 4 Series convertible’s roof of any seams or kinks. The roof looks flat and perfectly taut when closed. 2021 BMW 4 Series Convertible: Safety First The new convertible is bigger in every dimension than the car it replaces. It sits on a 1.5-inch longer wheelbase and is four percent stiffer than the old car. Credit side skirts with more torsional rigidity, a more rigid floor plate, and a reinforce...
Have an HD Pickup? Wanna Camp In It? Try the EarthCruiser Terranova Camper
Watch out Toyota, because it turns out it’s not enough to “cruise” the “land”. Nope. Today’s adventurers want to cruise the earth, and they may need something beyond the mighty Land Cruiser SUV. EarthCruiser offers the camper kit to help those planet-roamers, including the upcoming Terranova. Due to arrive early 2021, the new Terranova is one of the ultimate ways to explore this planet from behind the wheel of a 2020-or-newer Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Ford F-350, GMC Sierra 3500, or Ram 3500 pickup truck.

2021 Toyota Corolla XSE Apex First Test: Not the Sport Sedan We Were Hoping For
Although it can’t keep pace with the best compact sedans, the new Toyota Corolla is a big improvement over its predecessor. Along with stronger handling, it benefits from a more potent engine option and a streamlined interior. The Corolla Hybrid we recently tested is a true standout delivering stellar fuel economy. Now, here to shake things up again is the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition, promising an affordable sport sedan experience. But, does it deliver? Well, not quite in the way we were hoping. The Apex Edition is more than just a style package. The sedan receives a unique track-tuned suspension. In addition to new springs that lower the car by 0.6 inch, the car features new shocks, bump stops, and more rigid anti-roll bars that are meant to improve its agility. Thanks to all t...
From the Archives: Detroit Mid-Engine Sports Cars Are Coming
Back in our December 1969 issue, we ran a story highlighting Ford and Chevrolet’s skunk works effort to develop new mid-engine supercars. With both automakers now finally offering mid-engine sports cars to the public, the Ford GT and the 2020 MotorTrend Car of The Year-winning 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, we thought it’d be fun to dive back into this old magazine story. Detroit’s in the grip of mid-engine mania. Again, there’s said to be a mid-engine Corvette in the works, for 1972 or perhaps ’73. Ford may force Chevy’s hand with a new mid-engine machine to compete head-on with the invincible ‘Vette and, even if Dearborn defers building its own, they recently signed a deal with Alessandro de Tomaso, maker of one of today’s finest mid-engine sport...
These Classic Chanel Bags Will Still Be Everywhere in 10 Years
After several rounds of closet cleanouts recently, I’ve really honed in on what I want in my wardrobe. It boils down to one simple thing: quality over quantity. In my donation pile are trendy items with a short shelf life. The items with a permanent place in my closet? Well-made basics, special pieces from emerging brands, and investment items that I’ll never part ways with. Perhaps the most prized among these investment pieces is a Chanel bag that I bought over a decade ago in Paris that remains one of the best purchases I’ve made to this day. If you’re similarly considering an investment purchase and want to know what is worth putting your money behind, a Chanel bag is an item that holds its value that I guarantee you’ll never want to part ways with. So, which are worth the investment? I...
Nefarious-Sounding Hyundai Elantra N Sedan Blats Into View
Hyundai has revealed an all-new Elantra N TCR race car—and also previewed the Elantra N performance street car, to boot. The TCR (for Touring Car Racing) is the latest in a budding line of TCR customer race cars released by Hyundai, following the $155,000 Veloster N TCR and the Euro-market i30 TCR hatchbacks. (VW, Honda, and Mazda are among the automakers also offering TCR racers based on production cars.) You could spring for the winged, caged, and wild-lookin’ Elantra N TCR if you’re a racing team, but let’s get real: It’s highly likely the car it’s based on is of greater relevance to you, and the TCR reveals several key clues about the upcoming Elantra N. Chief among those juicy details? That the TCR race car is “front-wheel drive and is powered by a ...
2021 Ram 1500 TRX’s Know & Go App Teaches Owners With Augmented Reality
The Know & Go app offers augmented reality to overlay instructions and explanations on certain features, notifications of undiscovered features, overviews on functionalities, how-to videos, and bookmarked feature-specific owner’s manual pages. For the augmented reality portion, the app uses your phone’s camera to overlay a description of whatever the lens is pointed at on the TRX. As the winner of FCA’s Pitch Night program in June, where the company solicits new ideas from its employees, the Know & Go app went from concept to market-ready in less than three months. More than 500 ideas were submitted for Pitch Night, which were reduced to 50 through employee online voting and then further reduced to 14 by leadership. The finalists received further coaching before p...
The Up-and-Coming It Brands Net-a-Porter Is Backing This Season
Every year, Net-a-Porter announces the brands that it’s backing for global success that season, and considering that it’s regarded by fashion editors as an authority on fashion’s up-and-comers, this is something we sit up and pay attention to. The Vanguard global mentorship program might be a new initiative, but it’s a brilliant a way to support young designers, and of course, a chance for us to see who is leading the way in design right now. Well, the 2020 results are in, and it’s our favourite lineup to date. This year’s list is made up of three inspiring female designers and, unsurprisingly, Netflix’s Next in Fashion winner Minju Kim is one of them. Last year M...
5 Cosy Jumper Outfits We’re Embracing This October
While every member of the Who What Wear team possesses their own distinctive sense of style, there are a few fashion items that transcend our differing tastes, including jumpers. A definitive cold-weather Brit staple, the humble jumper has been unwavering in its appeal over the decades, variously shrinking down and bulking up as trending silhouettes come and go. The last couple of years have seen a return of the oversize jumper in all its glory. Chunky, comforting, and warm, it never fails to put a smile on our faces on a chilly winter’s morning. There has also been a new-found fondness for the cardigan in all its iterations. From cable-knit fits to ribbed, ‘90s-inspired cropped styles, it’s become our favourite versatile layering piece. There are...
The Olsen Twins Were Way Ahead of the Curve on This Autumn Trend
Regarded as some of the chicest women in the world, the Olsen twins are hardly a pair who follow the crowd. Over their years in the spotlight, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have developed their own unique aesthetic, rarely straying from a pared-back capsule wardrobe filled with perfectly tailored trousers, button-down shirts, lengthy gowns, and floor-skimming maxi coats. As a fellow petite woman, I have, for years, analysed and admired the way the twins dress, managing to balance proportions and throw the traditional “petite-girl rule book” completely out the window. And this autumn in particular, I am feeling very inclined to draw from the Olsens’ guide to style by trying a maxi coat of my very own. While a legitimately floor-skimming coat is not the most p...
