The 11 Affordable Skincare Brands That Actually Work
Up until a few years ago there was a major misconception that good quality skincare products had to be expensive. Some skincare experts say that expensive products are pricey for a reason, whereas others swear by the affordable dupes of skincare classics. The thing is, if you know a thing or two about product development, you’ll know expensive really doesn’t always equal effective. Often the factors that bump up product prices are things like marketing and distribution costs, clinical trials for new ingredients, fancy packaging, and long ingredient lists. This means that if a brand is prepared to cut down on a few of these costs – for example using minimal packaging, keeping ingredient lists small, and using ingredients that have already been tes...

Teiji Hayama Releases ‘SNOW WHITILYN’ Sculpture
Following a recent sculpture release last month, Japanese artist Teiji Hayama opens 2023 with a new sculptural edition entitled SNOW WHITILYN. Hayama has spent much of his career taking pop cultural icons and distorting their image through largely grayscale portraits that are juxtaposed with banana peels, cutouts and more. He employs these techniques to deconstruct images of celebrity and the fading power of influence. As implied in the title, SNOW WHITILYN conflates Snow White and Marilyn Monroe as the hybrid character smokes several cigarettes and looks out into the distance. “I always wanted to give a three-dimensional view and more life to my paintings,” said the artist in a statement. Made in collaboration with VINS Gallery, the polystone sculpture is an edition of 80 and will size at...
Louvre Museum to Limit Daily Attendance in 2023
The Louvre Museum is truly a sight to see. It can also be a nightmare with the amount of people who jam pack its expansive halls, stopping every second to take a picture of themselves. Luckily, this past Thursday, the museum announced a new measure that will limit the number of visitors to 30,000 per day “in order to facilitate a comfortable visit and ensure optimal working conditions for museum staff,” according to a release by the institution. The Louvre’s newly appointed president-director Laurence des Cars lauded the “extremely positive figures for 2022”, adding that she hopes that “visitors enjoy spending time at the Musée du Louvre, particularly those discovering the museum for the first time, who represent 60% of them. We are working ever harder to improve visiting conditions and to...
7 Trouser Trends Celebs Are Swapping Their Skinny Jeans For
Skinny jeans are great and all, but if you find yourself feeling stuck in a skinny jean rut, this is the story for you. Come autumn and winter, it is more common than usual to repeat the standard outfit combination of a knit + jeans + boots + coat. Not that there is anything wrong with that look per se, but there is something liberating about stepping outside of your personal sartorial box and stepping into new winter trends, specifically trouser trends. To show you how cool you could look even sans your favourite pair of skinnies, we pulled the best celeb looks featuring some of winter’s hottest trouser trends. While some of the icons ahead might not have been worn in a wintry way, they’re the pant styles we want you to pay close at...
Kendall Jenner Wore the £55 Shoes That Are So Hyped Up for 2023
According to Kendall Jenner, you don’t need a fancy, feathered dress or crystal-covered heels to post an awe-worthy Instagram. In fact, slippers and sweatpants will more than cut it. The reality star-slash-model is the queen of high-low dressing; she looks just as chic in a downtime ensemble as she does in an avant-garde catwalk design. And often it’s her low-key looks that make it to the top of our style mood board. One especially covetable get-up we can’t help but come back to included a shearling, check-print vest, heather-grey sweatpants and a pair of £55 cloud shoes (that’s puffy shoes in regular speak) that are almost impossible to get your hands on. Specifically, Jenner wore The North Face’s best-sellin...
This “Boring” Coat Is the Key to Looking Low-Key Stylish Every Day
Is it just me, or is this season being dominated by grey coats? Between the sell-out COS style that every influencer managed to bag (which I, meanwhile, spent hours refreshing my browser for to no avail) to the slew of cosy, slate-shaded robe coats worn by Londoners and Parisiennes alike, there’s no doubt about it; grey coats are where it’s at this winter. My favourite trends are the ones that seem so simple, it’s surprising that they weren’t a thing all along, and the grey coat certainly falls into that category. Although all signs point to it being a classic addition to any coat collection, grey tones are often overlooked, particularly so when you compare them to the popularity of black, cream, or camel. Upon them becoming more commonplace, I actively ha...
It’s Official—Fashion People Are Obsessed With These 25 Basic Fashion Items
After all this, it’s clear to us that some basics are just better than others. Take Arket’s famous Hopsack blazer, for example—it’s a style the brand has sold for years now. I have it in multiple colours (as do many of my fellow editors and influencer pals) and people always compliment me on it, asking if it’s designer. Through Who What Wear articles alone we’ve sold almost 1,000 of them, and after trying endless styles (I’m a blazer girl, trust me), I stand by it being the best around. The same goes for Arket’s perfect white T-shirt (I buy these in bulk for fear of them discontinuing it). Other best-selling hero buys our research turned up, include H&M’s budget-friendly wide-leg trousers (we sold over 2,000 pairs of these last year alone), Totême’s iconic...

I’ve Done Makeup for Chanel for 17 Years—These Are the Products You Should Buy
Have you ever wondered what’s in a makeup artist’s makeup bag? Well, it’s safe to say that it’s probably a combination of eye shadows, eyeliners, eye brow pencils, mascaras, foundations, blushes, lipsticks, and bronzers. However, it really comes down to the brand and the quality of the makeup that’s the biggest difference in what a professional MUA has versus an everyday beauty lover. Kate Lee, a Chanel makeup artist, has been working alongside the brand for over 17 years. Over that time, she’s worked on the faces of some of the biggest names in Hollywood such as Anne Hathaway, Kaitlyn Dever, Emma Chamberlain, Charli D’Amelio, and other beloved celebrities to create jaw-dropping looks for award shows, television appearances, an...

Cringe: Watch Gullible Fans Swarm a Prankster In a Knockoff Marshmello Helmet
“Oh my God, Marshmello!” That’s what passersby in a Las Vegas hotel heard as groups of gullible fans chased after TikToker Mordy, who decided to don a knockoff Mello helmet as a social experiment on New Year’s Eve. Surprise: the humans failed. Despite the visibly fake helmet—most likely purchased at his local Spirit Halloween store—they were easily deceived and hounded Mordy, who shared a video of his experience on TikTok. As Mordy saunters through the hotel, crowds of people quickly take notice before following him through the halls, stalking him like prey for selfies. As the TikToker quickens his pace, dozens of “fans” are seen literally running after him, abandoning their sense of boundaries as they throw their phones in his face. Scroll to Conti...
