An Ode to Earthy Tones at AW23 Copenhagen Fashion Week – The Glass Magazine

WITH A desire to remodel what the fashion industry stands for, Copenhagen Fashion Week inaugurated its autumn/winter 2023 celebration by setting high sustainable standards unmatched by other cities. Whether that’s through certified materials, circular productions, or zero-waste practices, designers were challenged to create collections that met at least 18 requirements.

Of course, sustainability was already a primary value for all, which also inspired the most standout theme of the season: natu

Highlights From Copenhagen Fashion Week You Might Have Missed

If there's one set of brands that are worth keeping an eye on, it's those that showcase their collections at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Over the past few years, the shows have left everyone in the fashion world talking, and for Fall 2023, the Danish capital is shaking things up once again, disrupting the industry and redefining Fashion Week.

Even if you didn't pay much attention to Copenhagen Fashion Week, chances are you saw some of the highlights on social media. There was that viral TikTok fro

Wait, should you be eating your retinoids?

Gwyneth, Reese and Selena all rave about it, and retinol has become a skincare staple essential to your nighttime routine. From soothing summer-induced pigmentation to reviving a lost glow, this little serum is said to offer a host of skin benefits. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned lately, it’s that not all complexions – especially winter-dry skin – can handle its strong formulation.

How Aeron’s Founder Eszter Áron Overcomes Challenges That Comes With Fashion Inclusivity — fashion on the beat

I approached Eszter backstage to congratulate her and discuss the inclusivity approach she took for the collection. With a poise and grounded attitude, Eszter first reflected on the aesthetic of her approach as a whole: “The collection was created as we were starting to go back to work and in the office. Because one of our main focuses is dressing the modern woman with a timeless wardrobe, the soft beige, brown, and navy hues were inevitable. That said, we also added bright blue and orange tones

Are your health and wellness goals making you emotionally drained? Here’s how to tell

The last time I took a look in the mirror, there were several things I wanted to improve about myself. After spending over half an hour scrolling TikTok, I pinpointed that my hair needed a full routine – including a weekly hair oil mask and daily scalp massage. Then, I noticed that my face looked puffy and wrote down a list of extra self-care steps to try, including daily dry brushing, gua sha and lymphatic drainage massage. These thoughts started tallying up before I’d even had a chance to thin

‘Butt amnesia’ is a thing – these expert-approved exercises prevent it

‘Butt amnesia’ might sound like a ridiculous term that I just invented, but it’s actually something that’s been circulating around for years under various guises. Ever heard of ‘dead-butt syndrome’? No? Well… you must be surfing a different area of the internet to us. No matter the term, the whole ‘numb bum’ situation is making a comeback among people in their early 30s – and for good reason. Since lockdown, we’ve swapped office desks for dining room tables, meeting rooms for comfy couches, and
