Award-winning creator Nick Brick has leveraged the possibilities of the world’s most recognizable colored bricks to immortalize Daft Punk’s capstone album.

Cleansing is an essential step in every skincare routine, vital for removing makeup, product residue, and excess oil, as well as for prepping skin for future product application and targeting concerns like dullness and congestion. “Washing your face really is the cornerstone of a great routine and glowing skin,” says facialist and skin expert Charlie Perry. “If you aren’t cleansing your face properly with the best cleanser for your skin’s needs, it’s very hard for everything that follows in your routine to go right.” Choosing the right formula can make a vital difference to your skin, with options ranging from balms and oils through to gels, milks, and foams. However, the best cleansers don’t necessarily need to be expensive or packed full of pricey active ingre...

HypeArt Visits: Public-Library
“Every single project starts black-and-white in Helvetica.” You’re design is very minimal and pared-back. Can you describe your own practice and how you approach your projects? RC: Typography is the foundation of the studio. Marshall studied a little bit in Sweden. I studied in Switzerland and in college, that was what we did — rudimentary typographic studies and exercises. That’s where every project starts is typography. MR: Basically, in a foundational typography system, you start with one variable and build it up. You’re making one choice. So let’s say you’re picking a typeface, that’s one choice, then you’re picking a color, that’s another choice. You very quickly amplify your choices exponentially in a way where you’re juggling a lot of variables. So something that we do here, every s...

If You’re Not a Jeans Person, Here Are 23 Winter Midi Skirts to Try Instead
Winter is often considered the most difficult season to dress for. In summer you can throw any old dress on and look put-together, but in winter there’s a lot more to think about: Which layers work without looking too bulky? Will this dress go with tights? And exactly how washed out does this grey coat make me look? Like many of us, I seem to always resort to a dependable combination of denim, boots and knits. But if you’re not a jeans or trousers person, figuring out what to wear each morning when it’s cold outside can be even more of a chore. If that sounds like you, don’t fret. I’m here to tell you you can still take advantage of the ever-flattering midi skirt in the depths of winter. Dresses are slightly more complicated—unless they’re made from a particularly thick mat...

Angelina Jolie is Already Carrying 2023’s Most-Coveted It Bag
Stepping out in New York City, the actor applied the styling trick favoured by fashion editors—wearing one shade top-to-toe—to her look, opting for a black coat slip dress and leather knee boots. Although sleek, the pieces in this outfit run the risk of blending in with one another. However, with the latest designer It bag on her arm, that would never be the case. Saint Laurent’s Icare bag has been carried by a slew of celebrities, including Zoe Kravitz, Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, while Jolie has been spotted with hers on more than one occasion. With jumbo totes proving to be a huge trend on the spring/summer 2023 runways, coupled with the brand’s coveted YSL emblem, I would also want to use mine at any given opportunity.

Liberty Walk Unveils Widebody Ferrari F40
At the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon, Japanese tuning company Liberty Walk officially unveiled one of its most controversial projects yet, drawing back the curtains on a Ferrari F40 which was given the car shop’s distinct widebody makeover. The F40 was the first production automobile to reach speeds exceeding 200 mph and is widely considered one of the most iconic supercars of all time with only 1,311 ever made.

Originally rendered in red, the real-life version opts for a white finish featuring Japan flag and sponsorship decals. The conversion sees a new front cowl, cowl duct, diffuse...
