'They were magically mirrored' reads the Instagram post before delving further into the symbolism and the metaphors of twinship.

Looking outside-in, Fashion Week can appear inclusive and often seeks to be a "ground-breaking" event for change. However, that said diversity largely remains to be a spectacle for the runway (only), with
actual inclusive fashion straying far away from the clothing rails themselves.
Karoline Vitto,
Fashion East's emerging talent, is here to change that.

Marni’s NYC debut was a whirlwind of fiery colours, bold silhouettes and all things mismatched and DIY - without compromising the brand’s inherent elegance (of course). Francesco Risso, the man behind Marni's creative genius, never ceases to impress us and always stays loyal to his vision of challenging the status quo. Risso invites his audience (including a tightly packed front row with Doja Cat, Kendal Jenner and Anna Wintour) to an obscure tunnel under the Manhattan Bridge.

Like most, we love a good self-care moment. Whether it's a face mask over a glass of wine in the evening or an hour a week in therapy, self-care comes in many different packages. It has to be said -- it is important we don't reduce self-care to skincare and bubble baths, but taking time for yourself and taking care of your body can also be powerful. And after an enlightening get-together of the Glamcult's team, we compiled our go-to wellness faves we think you should all get in your routine -- from lube to lip balm.

There are only a handful of brands that throughout their lineage have continued to carry the artistry of yesteryear to today. Balenciaga is one of them. The brand, known to be a trailblazer of style, was founded in 1919 by Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga in San Sebastian, Spain. Making his name as a couturier and dubbed "the master of us all" by Christian Dior, Balenciaga quickly shot to the top (and stayed there). Today, we see a very different side of the brand, now placed in the careful hands of Demna Gvasalia, however, the identity and attention to detail remain.

There are very few brands that can match the momentousness of the iconic works of Stanley Kubrick. But in showcasing their F/W '22 collection, Gucci has done just that. The collection -- which also features the much-loved Adidas collab -- is loud, lary and straight out of a movie, making the moss-green frills and deep purple beret's a perfect match to the scenes of The Shining, A Space Odyssey, Eyes Wide Shut and more.

The highest compliment of all? It's giving Doja Cat. Knowing her star status in the land of style, Miss Cat has just dropped news of her limited-edition clothing line and it's a camp-inspired collection of slogan tees, hoodies, sweats, jockstraps and thongs. Adorned with "YES" and "It's Giving" (alongside some cute kitten graphics), each piece is cut in a 00's crop, boxy fit. Tantalising us with a Kardashian-style paparazzi campaign -- we see Doja at the garden centre, picking out plants and living her best bald babe life.

At the UFOI Hauff set the scene for this Sunday: deep, dark and exceptionally heavy. This was a day full of icons -- new and established -- as we flitted around the trees of Het Bos between the São Paolo electronics from Cashu and Badsista to the Amsterdam trailblazers of Antal and Hunee at The Greenhouse.

Entering the festival week with excitement and some apprehension as to what's to come (5-days of my dream line-ups ya'll), tonight and Wednesday proved to be not only mood-setters but also a mood-stabilizers. Within the wildly atmospheric building of Amsterdam's Muziekgebouw and beyond into the IJ, the evenings began as I meant to go on: with a great collection of people, drinking wine under the sunset.

Every track, every move, every tour TikTok has us strongarmed further into obsession, so when she released her latest track, Despachá, life was put-on-hold and we listened on repeat to our heart's content. Described as a 'summer anthem', Despachá is providing pure up-tempo dance energy, giving our stiffened hips the unwarranted confidence to pop a meringue and feel like hot shit.

At the risk of sounding too Carrie Bradshaw-Esque, what happened to sexual wellness being sexy? In a flurry of mass-produced flavoured condoms, neon-coloured lube bottles and plastic cock rings, one thing major brands seem to have left in the lurk is the option to have sex in style. So, I ask: why not make the necessities of the bedroom just as sultry as what's going on beneath the sheets?

Described as both "hallucinatory" and "extreme", his work is emotionally charged and ritualistic in nature. Combining dance with the mediums of theatre and visual art, Belfiore explores notions of Queer-culture, mythology, religion and more, where the eclectic backdrop of genre-bending soundscapes intrinsically compliment.
