Setting Up a DIY Foot Spa Should Be Your Next Self-Care Activity: Here's What You Need

Image
You know the parts of a pedicure before the polish comes out . . . like the foot soaking, scrubbing, massaging, and moisturizing? Well, why not bring a similar self-care treat to your own feet? Sure, you may not have a special DIY foot bath , but if you've got a large, wide bowl, or even just a tub, guess what, you now have your own at-home spa with just a few more additions. If you like tea, you could make yourself a cup but steep extra and add some of that to your soak. Or have some flowers you're ready to discard? Pop them in, too. Of course, just those things do not make a foot spa, so we looked into products at Sephora to really set the scene and actually help your tired toes. Soaks and scrubs rich in eucalyptus, lavender, and other essential oils are a good place to start when creating a relaxation zone , but there are also solutions for dry, cracked skin and things that bring soreness relief straight to your feet. Now you can follow this up with a polish change i

Making the Cut Serves Us the Most Futuristic Runway Show Yet For Week 6

Image
Episode six of Prime Video's Making the Cut continues in Tokyo! Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn serve up the next challenge: create two looks that represent the concept of opposing forces. It can be whatever the designers interpret that as, whether it be the past vs. the present, masculine vs. feminine, good vs. evil, etc. When the looks are complete, the designers will show them in a very modern way: with an immersive digital showcase. Their creations will be worn on models walking down a staircase with different projections as a backdrop. Once the contestants find their inspiration, they buy fabrics and head back to the studio to get started. Esther Perbandt goes outside of her comfort zone of all-black looks and chooses to create a gold ensemble. Sander Bos reluctantly tries to make an accessible design, even though he doesn't feel he should sacrifice his aesthetic. Gunn checks in with all the designers the next morning, and he's concerned with the silhouette of Rinat Brod

Image
Fashion designer Clare Waight Keller is leaving Givenchy after three years at the helm of the womenswear brand. Her fall/winter 2020 collection marked the last she will show for the French luxury fashion house. Clare Waight Keller followed in the footsteps of Riccardo Tisci, who held a 12 year tenure at Givenchy before departing for Burberry in 2017 . "As the first woman to be the Artistic Director of this legendary Maison, I feel honored." Clare was a welcome change and someone the fashion industry as a whole championed and rallied behind as the first-ever female artistic director of Givenchy. Her work will be remembered at Givenchy for its whimsical, feminine qualities that she seamlessly blended with the label's original DNA, showing her ability to translate Givenchy's inimitable sexiness through the changing seasons. You might also recall that she designed Meghan Markle's wedding dress , going on to create much of Meghan's royal wardrobe during her

Clare Waight Keller and Givenchy are parting ways. Announced this morning exclusively to WWD , the French fashion house said it would be ending its partnership with its artistic director of three years. As for Keller, this is the closing to a chapter that’s already marked with many memorable moments in fashion history. Keller is the first woman to hold her role at the house the late Hubert de Givenchy built. At the helm, she lead the return of haute couture, which had not been seen at the label for eight years before her appointment. Her designs had a mix of structure and romance seen in impeccably sharp tailoring, cascading ruffles and fringe, or daring thigh-high lace boots , for example. The collection earned support from fans such as Rihanna, Hunter Schafer and Ariana Grande , who was named brand ambassador under Keller’s tenure.

This Week, Making the Cut Is Headed to Tokyo - and There's an Epic Escalator Runway Show

Image
We are so excited for episode five of Making the Cut , because the show is headed to Tokyo! This week, the designers are tasked to make a two-look streetwear mini collection. One look must be a showstopper, while the other must be a sellable interpretation of that look. Japanese streetwear is known for its different styles and genres - it's eclectic and experimental. The contestants should draw inspiration from that. They also have the option to use fabric printing as an opportunity to create logos for themselves. The winner gets to make a limited-edition cobranded look with Puma. Going forward, the designers will be working out of Amazon Fashion's branded studio in Tokyo. As the looks come together, some contestants have breakthroughs, while others find this to be the most challenging week yet. On runway day, the contestants show their looks on the escalators of Tokyo Plaza. Naomi Campbell , designer Joseph Altuzarra, and Heidi Klum are joined by a new judge this week - Ch

Read the Backstory Behind Selena Gomez's Iconic Looks, Right on Her Stylist's Instagram

If you want to know the backstory behind some of Selena Gomez's most iconic looks , all you have to do is ask - seriously. Kate Young, who has been working with Selena since 2015 , when they constructed outfits for her Revival tour, is sharing some of her fondest memories with fans on Instagram. Kate started with Selena's little leather Coach dress , which she wore for the American Music Awards in 2017, explaining there was no need for a gown for this specific event but a desire for leather, since Stuart Vevers is known for creating some of the best leather outerwear in the industry. Kate was inspired by Frantic , Roman Polanski's 1988 film, and it shows! If you scroll through the 'gram Kate posted , you'll see how the whole look came to life, including those diamond drop hoop earrings, taking direct influence from the movie's wardrobe. After Kate told the story of this first outfit, she invited followers to write in with more requests: "If you want to k
