Dermatologists Say These 6 Treatments Are Best for Lip Lines
“External factors contribute to the development of fine lines and wrinkles, with UV damage from the sun’s rays being the biggest contributor to overall skin ageing. Around 80% of skin-ageing is thought to be due to UV damage,” says Thompson. So not only is it important to protect your skin from the sun (more on that below), but quitting smoking or vaping can also help. “Smoking (including vaping) can also have a big effect on accelerating the ageing process. Smokers will usually develop deep vertical lines on the skin above the upper lip—what we call smoker’s lines,” he adds. Granite agrees, “Cigarette and vape smoke create free radicals, which damage skin elastin and collagen, accelerating skin ageing.” Plus, the act of pursing your lips&nbs...
This Is the Only Accessory I’m Willing to Splurge On as a Beauty Editor
I’m not blowing my own trumpet here (well, maybe a bit). I just truly consider my makeup bag collection to be elite. While I know most people might enjoy splurging on a luxury handbag, I take great joy in treating myself to a luxury makeup bag. After all, as a beauty editor, I consider them my most used and most practical accessories. And my collection is extensive. For starters, I like to have one large makeup bag to keep at home on my dressing table. Here, I keep things that I am using on rotation—the things I like enough to pull out of my beauty storage (as a beauty editor, I require floor-to-ceiling cupboards) but not things I’m yet sold on enough to pack in my handbag. This bag needs to be large, but not too large, and accessible enough for me to be able to grab ...
Fashion People Will Wear These 2 Autumn Staples With Leggings Nonstop

An impressively stylish and genuinely easy outfit suggestion. I can do one better—I’ve created five shoppable graphics that showcase just how effective leg...
New Balance Revisits the ’90s and Y2K Generation With Jerry Haha CHERRY 9060 Exhibition
cashmerepullover’s Jerry Haha recently kicked off an exhibition in Hong Kong themed around New Balance‘s 9060. Looking at the past, present, and future that the 99X series works off of, the exhibition sees a number of new talents and explores the transition in the city as creatives move from the ’90s to an up-and-coming Y2K generation.

Gregory Shimada Presents a Sci-Fi Futurist Exhibition at HVW8
Gregory Shimada is a Bay Area-based artist who creates gestural artwork that comment on contemporary culture. In the past, Shimada has collaborated with mainstay labels Stüssy, Supreme and Better™ Gift Shop, and just recently opened his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, titled Caught in the Grip of the City, Madness. “It’s the year 2022: underground hip hop (backpack rap) never died,” wrote a release by the gallery explaining the world he envisions. “Matt Gonzalez won the 2003 San Francisco mayoral elections. We exist within a post urban wreckage fever dream of cities as audibly outlined by master architect Dan The Automator, when he expertly interpolated the Poppy Family’s 1971 cautionary tale of urban blight in “Cities And Escapes”. Maybe we’re all “Caught in the Grip of the C...

The Only Zara Handbags Worth Buying, According to Fashion Editors
Zara has long been a favourite of fashion editors. It’s widely considered a trusty destination for affordable but expensive-looking items that emulate designer currents, and it’s rare for a season to go by without at least a few note-worthy pieces making it onto our edit team’s wish lists. Not only does this popular high-street brand consistently back the biggest trends (in many cases with a fresh spin), but it releases a steady stream of classic buys that feel like they’ll last long into the future. What’s one of the wardrobe heroes we know we can always find at Zara? Handbags. That said, there are things to keep in mind when making your next bag purchase there. We’re talking about a high-street store, so even the most premium items may not quite match ...
Going to an October Wedding? Here Are 6 Outfits You Can Always Rely On
I’m a firm believer that autumn is the most romantic season. It’s my favorite season in general, so I might be a little biased, but surely you agree that browning leaves and crisp, cosy evenings form a fairytale backdrop for blossoming love. Yes, this theory is inspired by Nora Ephron, and I’m all for it. So it makes sense that many couples would schedule their nuptials during this special time of year. May to August might be peak wedding season, but September and October are also popular months to tie the knot. We often spend this season adjusting to colder weather and stocking up on the layers it necessitates, so the question of what to wear to an autumn wedding can often be difficult to answer. Certain fabrics, silhouettes and colourways are far better suited to an aut...
Tourist Damages 2,000-Year-Old Roman Busts at Vatican Museums
A 65-year-old American tourist of Egyptian descent was arrested this past Wednesday for knocking over several 2,000-year-old ancient Roman busts at the Vatican Museums. According to Italian news agency Adnkronos, the artifacts were only partially damaged, but will require roughly €15,000 EUR and between 300 and 350 hours of restoration work. The incident occurred in the Chiaramonti Museum, where rows of similar statues line the corridor. Per The Art Newspaper, the visitor had been reprimanded in the US before for gross indecency, and was in Rome for a three-day trip because he wanted to see the Pope.

Mario Ayala Transforms Jeffrey Deitch Into a Roadside Truck Stop
Jeffrey Deitch brought a glimpse of Southern California back to its New York outpost thanks to rising artist, Mario Ayala. In Truck Stop, Ayala has meticulously recreated a roadside chapel, tire shop and highway billboard inside the vast expanse of the gallery. Described by the artist as “working class paintings,” Ayala looks to interact with the mechanics and truck drivers he grew up with, as well as art connoisseurs, by way of combining artistic traditions set forth by Jasper Johns and Ed Ruscha, with an array of unconventional art methods, such as the application of industrial painting processes. Beneath all the high-low references, Ayala blurs the line between reality and illusion, ordinary and strange — a certain reflection of the contemporary American experience. Truck Stop is on vie...

10 Timeless Items French Women Have in Their Autumn Wardrobes
Upon looking at these snaps, I saw a pattern begin to emerge. I realised that almost all of the French women I follow own the same core capsule wardrobe of fashion essentials. Of course, I am all too aware that this uniform may not apply to everyone in a country, but the women I’m particularly interested in all subscribe to a look I love. “French women invest in timeless pieces over trends,” confirms Marissa Cox, a French style expert and friend of Who What Wear who now resides in Paris. “Wearability is integral to a French woman’s closet, as she doesn’t tend to overdress. She looks for pieces that can be dressed up or down.” So which French fashion essentials do the country’s best dressers rely upon to ensure they look chic at all ...
