the FIND • WITH ONE WELL-HEELED foot in the future and the other grounded in the codes of the past, Nicolas Ghesquière has placed Louis Vuitton into a timeline of its own. His spring/summer 2020 collection is a trip back to the belle époque of Paris, a time when culture and technology flourished thanks to a lengthy period of peace and prosperity. The optimism of this golden age is embodied in the Swift loafer, where cycling-inspired technical fabric merges with leather for a sporty take on a classically feminine style. The shoe’s defining detail—an architectural heel in the shape of the house’s emblematic flower monogram—proves that heritage is as rich a reference point as ever.

To achieve the perfect tousled bob, you’ll need to devote equal attention to your haircare—choosing the right shampoo and conditioner—and styling.

Breast WISHES • It took 17 years of loathing her implants—and ultimately removing them—for KIM IZZO to finally accept herself.

on the spot • When it comes to skin health, dark spots are a telltale sign of damage. They’re the radiance foe that French pharmacy favourite Caudalie, pioneer of clean, plant-powered formulas, is devoted to nixing.
