Toyota Crafts Hydrogen and Electric AE86 Restomod Concepts
Over the weekend at the Tokyo Auto Salon show, Toyota unveiled two new sustainable takes on its beloved AE86 series cars. Remixing the classics with sustainability in mind, the first is a Toyota Corolla Levin which has been converted into a BEV Concept and the second is a Toyota Sprinter Trueno H2 Concept powered by a hydrogen system taken from the Toyota Mirai. Both vehicles appear in their original black-and-white paint colors and come with a manual transmission, remaining largely unchanged aside from the addition of special-edition decals and new Bride racing seats. The real changes are found under the hood with the BEV concept utilizing the engine from the Tundra Hybrid Truck, a Prius PHEV battery, and other battery tech from Toyota and Lexus. The AE86 H2 Concept features the Sprinter ...

Trust Me—These 17 Foundations Give the Most Youthful-Looking Glow
It’s safe to say that I have spent a big chunk of my career measuring the real-life results of beauty products against their anti-ageing promises. Most notably, I have become somewhat infatuated with the concept of an anti-ageing foundation. If you’re asking me, few beauty products have the ability to make or break the overall appearance of your complexion quite like a foundation. While I know that active ingredients like retinol that we typically associate with anti-ageing moisturisers can’t be formulated in foundations, what I have discovered is that the formulas that deliver the most youthful-looking finish don’t dull the skin. They don’t turn the skin matte and lacklustre. Rather, they blend seamlessly for a glowing and radiant result. Such...
The 6 Items French Girls Wear to Stay Warm and Still Look Cool
Les Francaises have a knack for making everything look as easy as un, deux, trois. From their no-makeup makeup to the breathy way they draw out their ouis, French women seem to have being effortless cornered. This is particularly true in winter, when looking cute can feel like a Herculean task. Even at subzero temperatures, French women move about unbothered, which felt novel to this Californian; the last thing I feel like doing when it’s cold and grey out is putting together a look. But the French have it down to a science! This is partly due to how they shop. French women typically invest in a few good pieces per season, favouring timeless pieces over au courant trends. A well-cut coat. Sticking to long-lasting durable fabrics that drape well. After my first wi...
Roe Ethridge Unveils ‘American Polychronic’ at Gagosian New York
Roe Ethridge unveiled a new solo exhibition over the weekend at Gagosian‘s 976 Madison Avenue location in New York. Entitled American Polychronic, the show coincides with a new monograph of the same name, which maps the photographer’s work between 1999 and 2022. The title of the show “essentially means to do more than one thing at a time,” said Ethridge in a statement. “It’s also a way to describe a cultural notion of time. In the moment, it feels like we are all polychronic by choice or by necessity.” Whether through commercial work or personal projects, Ethridge conflates art history with ordinary objects and scenes in an attempt to blur the lines between the familiar and the surreal. “Photography is like jujitsu. You’re taking whatever is coming at you, and doing something with it,” Eth...
7 Classic French Outfits I Can’t Wait to Re-Create
While there are many who still love the traditional, pared-back aesthetic, Instagram proves that it is no longer representative of the average fashion-loving Parisienne, with influencers such as Camille Charrière and Ellie Delphine from Slip Into Style bringing a more experimental approach to the table while still managing to be chic at all times, of course. “We love a statement shoe, an extravagant piece of costume jewellery, a flashy print or one piece that will make heads turn,” says Ellie. To get a better sense of what classic French style looks like in 2023, we scoured the feeds of our favourite Gallic girls to see the outfit formulas they wear on repeat. From cool co-ords to trainers with everything, scroll down to see what it takes to perf...
Emily Ratajkowski Wore Leggings With an Anti-Sneaker Trend You’d Never Expect
Emily Ratajkowski never ceases to amaze me with how often she reinvents the outfit wheel. She’s a pro at taking basics and making them surprisingly exciting by pairing them with trendy items you’d never expect. In fact, she does this practically every time she steps out of the house. This week, leggings were the basic that got the EmRata treatment. January is the time of year when being comfortable and cosy are key, so I was pleased to see that Ratajkowski is also prioritising comfort (in the form of leggings) at the moment. This week, she stepped out in New York wearing a long, colourful coat, black T-shirt, and black leggings rolled down at the waist to make them low-rise (a very EmRata thing to do). Aside from the rolled-waistband leggings, what really st...

I Always Get Compliments When I Wear This Trending Perfume
The scent in question, Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 is cosy, woody, clean, and a little bit sweet. Supposedly undetectable to the wearer but incredibly appealing to those around, it contains only one ingredient, a unique molecule known as Iso E Super. “Iso E Super is a single aroma molecule perfumers use to create a fragrance in conjunction with other chemicals and naturals,” says master perfumer and Escentric Molecules founder Geza Schön. “Its classification is woody. If it were to be compared to an existing natural product people know it would have to be cedarwood. Furthermore, it has this unique velvety and smooth allure, and it has got this magic to it unlike all other chemicals around.” Schön’s process for the creation of Molecule 01 began in the 1980’s, a time when loud, powerful ...
I Tried the Dyson Airwrap, and These Are My Honest Thoughts
From start to finish, this probably took around half an hour to do on my hair type. If you have shorter on finer hair, this will no doubt be a shorter process. The key is to let the hair cool down once you have styled it to ensure your curls last for as long as they can. If I’m being honest, the Airwrap gives me a wonderful blowout look, but if you’re after curls that will last for days on end, then a hair wand or tong may be better suited to you, which will provide a more structured style. My hair still looked bouncy the day after, but not to the same extent as day one. But if it’s a bouncy blowout that you’re after, and you don’t mind topping up your hair on the second day, then this is most certainly the tool for the job. Yes, it is expensive...
