The Met’s Spring 2027 Costume Institute Exhibit Will Honor John Galliano

It's been rumored for years but has officially become a reality: The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that its Spring 2027 Costume Institute exhibition will spotlight designer John Galliano , marking the first major museum show dedicated to his four-decade career. He's only the third living designer to receive a solo exhibition following Yves Saint Laurent in 1983 and Rei Kawakubo in 2017. The exhibition is titled "John Galliano: Horizons," and will be open May 9, 2027 through Jan. 9, 2028, at Great Hall Gallery in The Condé M. Nast Galleries at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. Drawing extensively from The Costume Institute's holdings — the largest collection of Galliano's work in the world — the show will span his landmark 1984 Central Saint Martins graduation collection, through to his namesake label and tenures at Givenchy , Christian Dior and Maison Margiela , culminating in his famous Spring 2024 Artisanal collection for the latter.

The Most Romantic Scent a Person Can Wear, According to Megan Thee Stallion

Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site. This in no way affects our editorial decision-making. At this point, the U.S. government should officially rename "summer" as "Megan Thee Stallion's season." After all, by a show of hands, how many of us now casually refer to the months from June through August as "hot girl summer," courtesy of the award-winning rapper? Megan Thee Stallion certainly hasn't been shy about capitalizing on the snappy catchphrase, having first released a self-designed swimwear line in 2025. Now, she's bringing the heat to the fragrance world with the launch of her   Hot Girl Summer Eau de Parfum . "It's fun, sexy and Megan Thee Stallion in a bottle," she says of the scent. Its concept is summertime in a bottle, defined by notes of creamy coconut milk, orchid blooms and warm vetiver oil. Ahead, the artist dishes more about her first-ever fragrance, as well as shares her most romantic scent, favorite ...

How Do Small Beauty Brands Compete in the Labor-Intensive World of Live Selling?

If you've ever been scrolling TikTok and landed on a Live, it can be a little jarring. Why is everyone yelling? Are these products actually legit? (Usually, yes.) The world of live shopping is vast, and TikTok is just one part of it, albeit a big one. U.S. livestream e-commerce sales hit $14.64 billion in 2025 after a nearly 50% growth surge. Brands know they need to be in the space but the problem is, how? Marketing and sales teams are stretched thin. Budgets are tight. The top beauty brands on TikTok Shop are part of huge companies, such as Medicube, Tarte Cosmetics and Phlur. How are indie brands with small marketing budgets and a skeleton crew supposed to keep up? We spoke with live shopping experts, brand founders and marketing executives to find out exactly how they're making it work. Community Comes Before Conversion Sales are obviously important, but real numbers can take time. Many brands look at a live-selling platform as a community-building channel instead of jus...

Can Indie Sun-Care Brands Reach 'Tanmaxxing' Gen Zs?

Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site. This in no way affects our editorial decision-making. In spite of (warranted) dermatologist fist-shaking, Gen Z is still tanning. TikTok is inundated with poolside videos of young creators flaunting bikini tan lines and promoting "base tans" (which, spoiler alert, are a myth). So-called "tanmaxxers" — or Larry the Lobster variants — are religiously tracking the UV index to map out peak times to bake in the sun. In fact, a particularly concerning statistic came out of a 2024 American Academy of Dermatology survey : 28% of Gen Z respondents said getting a tan was more important to them than preventing skin cancer. The sun-care industry has long been up against a formidable tanning culture — and now sunscreen fearmongers and MAHAs favoring beef tallow over dermatologist-approved SPFs — but how can independent brands cut through the online chatter around chasing a high UV index and resonate with Gen Z beauty consume...
