Beth Stern Names Foster Cat After ‘Angel’ Taylor Swift Following Singer’s Donation to Animal Rescue
Taylor Swift may be the “Anti-Hero” in some regards, but not when it comes to cats. Animal advocate Beth Stern revealed Sunday (Dec. 18) that the pop star made a big donation to her pet rescue foundation Beth’s Furry Friends, and in return, she named a new foster cat in honor of Swift, who turned 33 years old on Dec. 13. “Welcome new foster from Oman!!” wrote the Kitten Bowl host, sharing a photo of the new kitty. “Her name is Angel Taylor in honor of recent birthday girl, Taylor Swift who sent me a sizable donation to Beth’s Furry Friends to help me save more lives.” “When I learned about this horrifically abused kitty who was beaten and had her ears cut off, I reached out to @street_cats_of_oman to ask if I could assist in her journey to much needed medical help and a forever family,” St...
Refik Anadol Reimagines MoMA’s Collection Through Machine Learning
“What would a machine dream about after seeing the collection of The Museum of Modern Art?” This thought serves as the thematic base for Refik Anadol‘s new exhibition at the MoMA New York. Entitled Unsupervised, the Turkish artist uses artificial intelligence to reimagine over 200 works in MoMA’s collection. Housed at the museum’s ground-floor Gund Lobby, Anadol showcases a 24 × 24 foot installation that continuously generates new forms. Instead of using machine learning to classify and process realistic depictions of the world, Anadol flips the narrative, by configuring the installation to seek an irrational and hallucinatory understanding of the history of modern art-making itself. “I am trying to find ways to connect memories with the future…and to make the invisible visible,” said Anad...

Experts Agree, These Skincare Trends Will Be Huge in 2023
Triggered by stress, anxiety, and the over-use of active ingredients like exfoliating acids, sensitive skin is on the rise, and as a result, products for sensitive skin are on the rise too. “Many people experimented with DIY skincare during the pandemic, so between choosing the wrong products for their skin, introducing too many products at once, and using DIY skincare, it’s unsurprising that there is now a huge trend for skincare for sensitive skin,” says Heather Wish, education specialist at Paula’s Choice. “In addition, two other factors that can bring sensitivity to skin are stress and pollution, so with the rise of all of these factors, it’s no wonder people are looking towards skincare made for sensitive skin.” We’ve all been there—a few too many products layered or an overenthusiast...

29 Impressive High-Street Puffer Coats That Are Perfect for Winter
Puffer coats have long been considered practical. But stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion-insider must-have. Arguably, it was 2020 when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak. Socialising outdoors was considered the norm, and the likes of Bottega Veneta and Totême created very special puffer coats, the majority of which swiftly made their way to the top of many an editor’s and influencer’s wish list. Since then, the duvet coat became essential for many of us—and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. In February, according to global fashion search platform Lyst, searches for “duvet coat” rose quickl...

Presiden Biden Appoints Tsione Wolde-Michael to Lead Newly Reestablished Arts Commitee
U.S. President Joe Biden has appointed Tsione Wolde-Michael as the executive director for the newly reestablished Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH). As the youngest person to assume the role and the committee’s first black head, Wolde-Michael will lead a team of 25 in aiding the president’s promotion of the arts across the country, including funding and policy. Wolde-Michael has an impressive track record, as she currently helms a director position at the Center for Restorative History at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and has led a number of projects that focus specifically on the U.S.’ legacy with the transatlantic slave trade. “I’ve spent my career as a public historian launching large-scale projects from the ground up and working to tran...
We Asked the Experts—These Are the Defining Interior Trends of 2023
I’ve sought insight from a handful of experts to find out the interior trends for 2023 that really matter. Although each hails from different remits of the world of interiors, they share an overall outlook and consensus. “I think that much of the design trends for 2023 will be based on longevity and function, focussed less on ‘what’s in’ and more on ‘what’s right for my family and my home, with lots of people looking to nature, the environmental impact of design, and the mood and atmosphere their decisions create,” says interior designer and expert Toby Perryman-Payne. The trends highlighted undoubtedly have staying power; our desire to host with pride after being denied the opportunity to do so over the past few years co...

Margot Robbie just turned the red carpet into the sweetest mother-daughter date night. While promoting her new movie, Babylon, in Los Angeles, Robbie posed with her mom, Sarie Kessler, and the resemblance between the two is certainly striking.
