Levi's Golf Wang-Inspired Anniversary
A noteworthy milestone of this year’s 501 Day has been the collaboration with Golf Wang, Tyler the Creator's fashion label.
Having been in business for an astonishing 147 years, Levi’s Jeans celebrates each anniversary with their 501 Day, in homage of their signature 501 jeans. Each May, Levi’s hosts worldwide events and campaigns commemorating their legacy as the leading brand of jeans for over a century. A noteworthy milestone of this year’s 501 Day has been the collaboration with Golf Wang, Tyler the Creator's fashion label.
Levi's and Golf Wang are two brands that complement each other well due to their respective mission statements. Levi’s 501 jeans embody self-expression and individuality, as their simplistic build makes them adaptable to customizations and redesign. Meanwhile, Golf Wang is a brand rooted in whimsicality, consisting of brightly colored hats, sports jerseys, and duffel bags emblazoned with random images such as chicken and waffles. Defying the hip hop fashion convention of glorifying luxury items, Tyler opts to imbue with his products with dark, absurdist humor.
Together, Levi’s and Golf Wang have previewed a more vibrant iteration of the classic 501 jeans, one spangled with multi-colored polka dots as Golf Wang’s heart-and-flower logo adorns the back pocket. These rainbow jeans are truly a vivid, fantastical creation, and they are available for purchase on both of Levi’s and Gold Wang’s websites on now.

QUAY X LIZZO FOR GOOD
You're going to need a pair of sunnies to shade your eyes from the shine of Quay's new collection.
You're going to need a pair of sunnies to shade your eyes from the shine of Quay's new collection. The Australian sunglass company just dropped a new line in collaboration with, the only and only, Lizzo. With a spark and originality that only the artist herself could embody, the new shades will be the vibrant addition to your summer wardrobe that you’ve been craving.
The singer, songwriter and performer took the world by storm with her fun, empowering, resilient music and energy, and these qualities become tangible as they are integrated into the new designs. Featuring colorful yet sophisticated styles, the collection has superstar written all over it.
The Lizzo inspired line includes a variety of silhouettes such as aviators and cat eye, as well as sunglasses with metal brow bars and studded embellishments like mini stars and rhinestones. Some of the shades are also offered in a translucent rainbow finish. No matter what style you choose, every pair will help you shine a little bit brighter before you ever even hit the sun.
Probably the most significant reason why this new collection outshines that of its predecessors is the fact that proceeds from every purchase will be used towards donating meals all across the United States. In addition to teaming up with Lizzo, the Quay company has also partnered with Feeding America during this time of uncertainty. Each individual purchase is the equivalent of 100 meals that are distributed by local food banks.
Besides the obvious charm and enthusiasm of the new collection, the ability to contribute meaningful meals and provide a sense of security to fellow Americans is what makes this line one of our favorites of the season. You will undoubtedly add a spark to your style when wearing these fun and eccentric shades while simultaneously making a difference in the lives of people who need it most.

Selena Gomez's Makeup Brand is Hiring A 'Director of Social Impact' for Rare Beauty
Selena Gomez's makeup brand is hiring a 'director of social impact' for Rare Beauty
Selena Gomez's makeup brand Rare Beauty is looking to hire a director of social impact. The position is about celebrating uniqueness on the company's social media and encouraging everyone to love themselves as they are.
Gomez has been candid and open about her own mental health struggles in the past. Rare Beauty's CEO Scott Friedman said, "When we first began discussing this project, she immediately focused on the ways she could use this brand to help people who are struggling.”
Friedman said the new position will help shape conversations around many of Gomez' aspirations and passions: beauty, self-acceptance, and mental health. He said, "The director of social impact will help us go beyond words and really take action to support mental health awareness. We can only do this if a leader is solely focused on this responsibility. This position is a vital part of holding our brand accountable, both internally and externally." Gomez said, "We had always planned on having someone lead this mission, but we felt that it was imperative to hire the best person for the job now.” More people than ever are discussing how their mental health is being affected during the coronavirus pandemic.
Friedman added there's still a stigma around mental health, which the company want to help tackle. He said, "Many people are hesitant to openly talk about their struggles because it's seen as a weakness or flaw. In the beauty industry specifically, there's an expectation to look a certain way all the time and to alter your appearance in order to mirror celebrities, models, or influencers." The goal is for people to see their differences not as flaws, but rather as what makes people unique, special, and rare.
Gomez will be very involved in the hiring process. He said, "She has always placed the social purpose of this brand at the same level of priority as the products we are developing, so our new director of social impact will work closely with her to help bring these goals to life. As we gear up for our product launch later this year, I look forward to seeing the team rally around and execute on Selena's creativity and vision," he said. “It’s hard not to be inspired by her passion for helping others and we’ll continue to weave that into the DNA of Rare Beauty.”

It’s official, the KarJenners are at it again, but this time in foot wear. Kylie Jenner has just recently announced her newest launch, KylieSkin x APL slides.
Who is APL? Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL), have been a long time fan of the KarJenners as they have sported their sneakers for years. Their sneakers are practical for the gym with their light weight and serious comfort, I should know, I own a pair or two! Not a fan of the gym, but still want to look like you flawlessly worked out? Well, you’re in luck because their style can’t be beat. The clean modern look they showcase with their on trend color schemes allow you to look your best, but also be that athletic self you want to show off. ;)
So, what do these slides have that make them worth buying? First off, slides are a major trend this year, so if you buy them you’re already winning. But, the legendary blush pink that KylieSkin promotes could very well be their main attraction, and not to mention, they also have the comfort and style that APL is known for. Their strap is soft and flexible, and they even have “antimicrobial mesh footbeds” which literally massage your feet while you’re going for a stroll. Maximum comfort much? There definitely doesn’t seem to be a downside to these cute, yet casual baby pink slides.
They retail at $100, I know a bit expensive, but why not splurge for self care? You can find these babies on KylieSkin’s website: KylieSkin . Go ahead…click the link, I know you want them!

Ah, the fluffy, off-duty-model brow. What’s not to say about them? How we all long for that luscious, brushed-up look à la pretty much every runway for the past couple seasons. A chic and modern departure from the pomade-heavy Instagram brow, simply just brush up your brow hairs for this j’en sais quoi, effortless beauty moment. Well, maybe it’s not quite effortless, and maybe not that simple. Those blessed with naturally thick brows, this is your time to rejoice. Pop some champagne, why don’t you!

On April 18th, 4:20 EST, cool-girl brand Milk Makeup debuted the newest addition to their Kush line: the triple brow pen. Available in six colors, this pen features an angled, triple-tipped felt applicator that deposits sheer, buildable pigment, allowing the user to easily mimic hair strokes. This long-wearing, water-resistant formula also contains plant-derived oil, sunflower oil, and aloe to condition your brows throughout the day. Additionally, this product is vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free.
The Kush Brow Pen retails online for $22 USD, and can be purchased at milkmakeup.com. Whether you brush it lightly through your hairs for a feathery, woke-up-like-this brow, or fill them in for a bolder look, this product can do it all.

Now that summer is just around the corner, Salute, a Hong-Kong based brand, just recently dropped their spring/summer collection on April 18th. A$AP Rocky and many other fashion lovers are seen showing Salute’s unique jewelry off. Salute’s sense of individuality is high and they know how to create a line that's different from others, this is what draws my eyes in.
This jewelry collection is also pretty budget-friendly, coming in at about $50 for the bracelet and $70 for the necklace. Building on its traditional theme, the bracelet and necklace are primarily based on the expression “Flower Anarchy”. The name resonates with the design of the jewelry perfectly, while creating a name to draw customers like me in.
The accessories include eye-catching charms and pearls accompanied by silver accents. The charms are the best part, they include daisies, rainbow flowers with peace signs, smiley face daisies, and pearls. The necklace is split up by small beads and long silver rods. Each charm is uniquely arranged and appealing to the eye, the different sizes of the pearls give the necklace and bracelet a more detailed and complex look. I love a brand that creates a style of their own, one that doesn’t copy trends, but one that makes trends. That’s why Salute is a good place to spend your money whether it be on clothing or jewelry. Either way, you're paying a good price for what your'e receiving!

The Beauty Industry After CoVID-19
Despite the growing convenience of online shopping, consumers still prefer to try before they buy when it comes to their makeup. Yet, retail beauty is on an indefinite hiatus, with stores like Sephora and Ulta closed for the shelter-in-place period.
There’s no amount of internet research on undertones, swatches, or ingredients that can compare to just trying a foundation on your face. The same can be said for serums, or eyeliner, or lipstick; there’s just an unmatched security in test-driving a product before you buy it. You can see for yourself whether the shade suits you, how it wears throughout the day, and how it reacts with your skin, all before committing to the purchase! This is one of the greatest allures of brick-and-mortar cosmetics.
For the average makeup consumer, places like Sephora are the easiest way to try a multitude of products at once. In fact, e-commerce contributes to 15% of all US retail in 2008 but only accounts for 5% in the health and beauty sector. Despite the growing convenience of online shopping, consumers still prefer to try before they buy when it comes to their makeup. Yet, retail beauty is on an indefinite hiatus, with stores like Sephora and Ulta closed for the shelter-in-place period. Launches have been delayed, with data showing that customers are simply not interested in new products right now. Brands with e-commerce infrastructures have quickly announced sales and free shipping, and social media has become even more pivotal to marketing makeup. As non-essential businesses reopen, the hygiene concerns of beauty retail mean that the industry may recover much slower than other retail sectors.
CoVID-19 will catalyze a rapid shift to digital services and technology in the beauty industry. Currently, the industry is rapidly adapting to remote work, with service providers like hair stylists and makeup artists offering online classes and consultations in lieu of direct contact. Artificial intelligence and augmented reality will also continue to play a huge role. Sephora’s Virtual Artist is an app feature that leverages AI and AR to allow shoppers to try on products with surprising accuracy from the comfort of their home. Combined with other features that help you through your skin type or style, Sephora has done a phenomenal job of approximating their retail experience online and sets an example for how the rest of beauty retail will adapt. Although these virtual services aren’t quite the same as hitting up your local Sephora, it can come pretty close.

KITH and Sailor Moon Team Up For New Collaboration
Over two decades later, Sailor Moon’s legacy is still felt throughout pop culture, a milestone that is commemorated by the clothing brand KITH.
Sailor Moon was one of the flagship anime in the 1990s that introduced an entire generation to the distinct art style and boundless creativity of Japanese animation. Over two decades later, Sailor Moon’s legacy is still felt throughout pop culture, a milestone that is commemorated by the clothing brand KITH.
KITH has officially collaborated with the Sailor Moon franchise itself in celebration of the television show’s 25th anniversary. The label’s latest products are hoodies and t-shirts depicting the eponymous superhero with the KITH logo. As a series that resonated most with young girls, Sailor Moon proved that femininity and strength are mutually inclusive, a sentiment best symbolized by the pink cropped hoodie with an image of the Sailor Scouts wearing KITH clothing emblazoned upon it.
Conversely, Sailor Moon’s character design, consisting of her colorful dress and signature blonde pigtails, is prime for graphic streetwear, creating a look that is casual and youthful, yet feminine. KITH’s new merchandise will undoubtably reignite older consumers’ nostalgia for their beloved childhood cartoon, all while subtly invoking the younger generation’s curiosity about the anime, eventually leading to another era of young girls becoming invested in the iconic heroine. Overall, KITH exemplifies the modern art of mainstreaming what was once a niche interest through the innovation of fashion trends.
