J.Lo Wore So Many Perfect Outfits This Year, Here’s How to Recreate Them

Jennifer Lopez is an icon in so many ways— singer, actor, age-defying beauty— but it’s her fashion that we’re deep diving into today. Back in the late Nineties she championed the strappy red carpet slip dress, making a name for herself amongst the fashion crowd and mingling at magazine parties with the likes of Donatella. With the Noughties came that Versace dress, worn for the Grammy Awards in 2000, and her status as a full blown fashion icon was set. Fast forward over 20 years and we’re being served just as much J.Lo realness through her outfits as we were back then (seriously, what’s her secret?). After recreating that Versace dress moment for the designer’s SS/20 catwalk show like she hadn’t aged a day, she made it very clear she doesn’t plan on dropping off a...

Hannah John-Kamen’s Skills Include, But Are Not Limited to, Kicking Butt

Although John-Kamen feels she didn’t have “bad memories of being held back” by others or “any racism,” she does recall holding herself back in the quest to “fit in,” and she says that microaggressions—a term that wasn’t commonly used at the time—were commonplace. “I could see that I was the only different-looking person [on the playground], and I didn’t want everyone else to see that. It was like it’s my secret that I’m not going to tell, and [I thought], ‘I hope they don’t find out that I’m actually mixed race.’ It’s a very bizarre way of thinking, but that’s what I felt,” she says. I then ask her about the microaggressions she had to fight against. “It was stuff like going into a shop and being told, ‘The sales section is over there,’ but they don’t tell the white person about the sales,...

If Sassy, Skimpy Party Dresses Are Your Thing, This It Brand Does Them Best

There are many fashion categories that have benefitted from the pandemic. Loungewear became worth the investment and will still have a place in our day-to-day wardrobes, even as we start to ease out of the darkness. Chunky, sensible shoes and boots—think Tevas, Birkenstocks and even wellies—have been the footwear we gravitate towards on the regular, and there’s probably no going back. But with all fashion movements and those more obvious macrotrends comes the flip side. Maybe as a light relief from (or a fight against) our new armoury of ultra-comforting pieces, there has been a steep rise in revealing body-con looks. Perhaps none have been quite as “viral” as the vibrant, swirly, cut-out, barely-there dresses of Farai London, a brand th...
