Alpha Motor Corporation Unveils its Montage All-Electric Coupe
After debuting its all-electric JAX Crossover, WOLF pickup, and futuristic camping truck with Heimplanet, California-based Alpha Motor Corporation now introduces its new custom-built Montage electric coupe. “As we achieve milestones along our roadmap to mass production, opportunities are created to build special vehicles. Montage was created to bring people together to support electrification,” said Alpha Motor Corporation. “Our electric cars are not built to feel electronic, and Montage is a testament to the EV revolution. Alpha is a collective vision to Move Humanity.” Since the beginning, Alpha has sought to reduce the carbon footprint of industrialization through clever manufacturing solutions beyond electrification. The Montage is one of its most ambitious proj...

Charlotte Tilbury’s Most-Wanted Products Are On Sale Right Now—Here’s My Edit
When those Black Friday emails start piling up in your inbox, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of offers and deals out there. Over the past few years my stance has been this: Stick to the brands I know and love, and the products I’ll actually use, instead of getting distracted by ‘too good to be true’ promotions. Of all the Black Friday beauty sales, it has to be said that Charlotte Tilbury’s is not only one of the best but also one of the most anticipated. Not only do I have my tried-and-tested favourites (Flawless Filter, I’m looking at you), but I’m also never disappointed when I try something new. In fact, most people I know, whether they’re beauty obsessed or not, have a go-to favourite product from the iconic brand. Whether it’s the award-winning Ma...

The “Dated” Product Old Hollywood Loved for Flawless Skin Is Making a Comeback
According to Shari Marchbein, MD, FAAD, the benefits of cold cream vary, but most people use it as a gentle makeup remover that won’t strip the skin thanks to its potent hydration properties. “Moisturising your skin is essential to help keep it hydrated and to help counteract the appearance of fine lines and/or the signs of skin discolouration,” she tells us. “A suitable moisturiser like a cold cream can help prevent dryness, improve tone and texture, and protect the outer layer of the skin. Replenishing skin’s natural moisture balance by moisturising daily is important, as environmental factors such as severe weather and sun can dry your skin and make it look dull.” Another benefit of cold cream? Its versatility! Marchbein explains that pretty much anyo...
The Collectivist Exhibition Champions Young British Artists
The U.K. is jam-packed full of talent across the country, with designers, artists and young creatives continuing to thrive in the U.K. due to its extensive cultural pool, international affiliations, and artistic hubs that push them to their highest potential. 19-year-old visual artist Isaac Andrews has curated the Collectivist exhibition, which taps on 15 emerging artists from across Britain to connect in celebration of unity. Supported by Converse, the showcase shines a light on them all, disregarding the preconceived notions of what deems an artist worthy, including the need for art school. Held in Peckham’s Copeland Gallery, the exhibition will see Ola Tokunboh Badiru, Shannon Bono, Derrelle Elijah, Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy, Annis Harrison, Shaquille-Aaron Keith, Kudi, Trackie McLeod, ...
KAWS Drops “THE PROMISE” Vinyl Figure and Print
Following the unveiling of his “THE PROMISE” public art installation at Qatar Museum’s Dadu Gardens, KAWS is dropping a new set of vinyl figures and posters for collectors. The grandiose figures standing in the Dadu Gardens are depicted as two KAWS COMPANION figures in grey and appears draw similarities to the “FAMILY” COMPANION figures that see the larger version appear to pass a globe-like sphere to the child-like version. The figure can be seen as a signature feature at Dadu, which is fitting as it is the Children’s Museum of Qatar. Fans can now own a replica figurine of the installation. The vinyl figures arrive in three different colored COMPANIONS, including in grey, brown and all-black. In all the figures, the globe is the same and arrives in the traditional blue and green makeup. I...
I’m Obsessed With Wearing Boots RN, so I Styled 5 Pairs I Want in My Wardrobe
When it comes to boots, I’ll try just about any trend or style at least once. Between chunky Chelsea boots, lace-ups and quilted rain boots, I’ve yet to meet a style I don’t like. Because I’m in the mood to pretty much exclusively wear boots right now and because the rainy, snowy (even muddy!) weather often requires them, I’ve styled five looks around my new favourite pairs from Sperry. No matter what type of weather I’m dressing for on any given day, I can rely on this brand for stylish footwear that will take on the elements.

David Zwirner Presents ‘Frank Moore: Five Paintings’
David Zwirner New York is showcasing a solo exhibition of work by acclaimed American artist, Frank Moore. Housed at the gallery’s 69th Street location, the eponymously titled Frank Moore: Five Paintings explores many pertinent themes that continue to resonate today. In Wizard (1994), a painting made at the height of the AIDS crisis, Moore envisioned an apocalyptic composition filled with bodies, severed hands, fire and floating eyeballs. In the foreground, the artist included French virologist Jean-Claude Chermann, who treated Moore and under the administrative supervision of Luc Montagnier, gathered research that led to the discovery of AIDS and HIV. “Wizard can be read like a Boschian treatise of the AIDS crisis at that moment in time…,” said David Leiber in a past lecture at Cornell Uni...
5 Popular Shoe Trends the Fashion Crowd Are Wearing With Dresses
As a shoe lover, I happen to think that shoes are what really make a dress. Anyone can just throw on a cute dress but how you style it is what really makes or breaks it. We’re in a bit of an anything-goes place in fashion, but that doesn’t mean that certain shoes don’t just look cooler than others with dresses, and the fashion crowd is very much aware of this. I combed through Instagram for some great examples of the shoes I’ve been seeing the fashion crowd wear over and over with all types of dresses this season, and there are some fun ones. You might already own most of these trends but just in case, I found some excellent options for you to shop and pair with your own dresses. (And if you want to shop for expensive-looking dresses as well, Emily Dawes h...
PSA: The Perfect Zara Coat We’ve Been Thinking About All Year Is Back in Stock
I already know what you’re thinking, and yes, this winter is shaping up to be a particularly cold one. I happen to love dressing for cold weather (nothing beats hunkering down and hibernating in cosy layers of cashmere and wool), but when you do inevitably have to leave the house, it can be tricky finding “the one,” that elusive winter coat that looks good and stays warm. Well, that is until now. Zara has got a track record for designing some of the most covetable and expensive-looking pieces on the high street, and although sought-after pieces can sell out as quickly as they land, fortunately for us the best sellers are often reinstated the following year, and one of the biggest hits from last winter is back: the Double-Faced Shor...
Christie’s Is Auctioning Furniture Once Owned by Marie Antoinette
Christie’s upcoming “Exceptional Sale”, as the name implies, is filled with rare objects that date all the way back to Roman times. The Paris edition, in particular, will spotlight works from 18th Century France, including two furnishings once owned by Queen Marie Antoinette. The first piece, a commode crafted in 1770 by Pierre Macret, demonstrated “one of the finest exponents of the façon de la Chine in France — or indeed in Europe,” according to Christies, adding, its “tôle-dorée doors, curved like rolling waves, feature bucolic chinoiserie landscapes: craggy Asiatic mountains, trees forked like lightning, standing figures in flowing robes.” The second item, an Etruscan-style armchair, was made roughly 20 years later as the Queen sought to refurnish her apartments at Versailles. The remo...
