Tomi Talabi is the founder of The Black Beauty Club , a cultural platform redefining how we see, celebrate and invest in Black beauty. Since launching in 2020, The Black Beauty Club has become a go-to destination for conversations, experiences and collaborations that center Black women at the heart of beauty and culture. Previously, Talabi led global communications at Estée Lauder Companies and spearheaded inclusive storytelling at Pinterest . Over the past 10 years in the beauty industry, I have watched Black-founded brands get covered on a schedule: during Black History Month, on Juneteenth, around a moment of social reckoning or alongside a time of struggle. Too often, the stories center survival, scarcity or support, instead of the things we would lead with for any other beauty brand: innovation, performance, desirability, cultural relevance and commercial potential. This framing matters because it does not just stay in the press. It follows founders into investor meetings, ret...

America's sun-care market has long trailed behind its global counterparts (especially Europe and Asia's expansive SPF innovations), but now, we're one step closer to slathering on better sunscreen. Surprisingly, some good news came out of Washington, D.C. last week: On June 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially approved bemotrizinol (BEMT) as a permitted sunscreen active ingredient. It's a major win for stateside SPF fans (and, frankly, anyone with skin), as it marks the first new addition to the FDA's over-the-counter sunscreen monograph since 1999. What is Bemotrizinol? BEMT — also known by its trade name Tinosorb S — is a broad-spectrum chemical UV filter that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation. "One of its most notable characteristics is that it is highly photostable, meaning it does not significantly degrade when exposed to sunlight, allowing it to provide consistent UV protection throughout sun exposure," Dr. Hadley Ki...

Andrew Dahling 's beauty awakening began at age 8, when he was left home alone for the first time: He snuck into his mom's makeup bag, and later got caught trying (unsuccessfully) to rub off waterproof mascara. While his parents were "gagged and shocked" when they found him, Dahling remembers that moment as the beginning of his beauty path. "When I was a kid, I went through this era where all I drew were women with tons of makeup and big lips and big eyes," he tells Fashionista. "Glamour and women always fascinated me, and I was enamored by the world of makeup, hair and fashion from an early age." Andrew Dahling.

Hi, Fashionista readers! Where do I even start? At a time when the media landscape is changing daily, with print magazines closing and digital teams shrinking, I know how rare it is to have a new job. If you saw "The Devil Wears Prada 2," you got a peek inside our new reality. But I'm here as Fashionista's new deputy content editor, and there are a ton of exciting things happening. Fashionista has been growing and growing, especially in social and video, and I'm thrilled to be joining such a talented team. But let me back up a bit and tell you a little about myself. I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (where the Hadids now casually own a farm). I was obsessed with media and magazines from an early age. My favorites were Lucky, Jane, Seventeen, CosmoGirl, Teen Vogue and so many others that sadly no longer exist in print. I also grew up at a time when movies glamorized magazine careers. Films like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "13 Going ...

These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Friday. The Path to Reviving Barneys New York Barneys New York faded after its 2019 liquidation, but now One Lux Solution will be opening a Barneys store in Naples, FL, later this year. Authentic Brands Group, who owns the retailer's intellectual property, has given One Lux the exclusive rights to roll out Barneys in Florida. Authentic Brands has also been in discussions with the landlord of the former Barneys flagship building on Madison Avenue over possibly reviving Barneys with a new lease. { WWD /paywalled} A Victoria's Secret Shareholder Is Trying To Oust the Chair Australian billionaire Brett Blundy wants to oust Donna James, the long-term chair of Victoria's Secret & Co.

"Longevity" is the latest buzzword on every wellness brand's lips (and marketing materials). As so-called biohackers use high-tech wearables to optimize their routines with and everyday consumers look for better ways feel healthier, the $6.8 trillion + global wellness industry is entering a new era of longevity-focused solutions. Transdermal vitamin patches are stepping into the spotlight as a result. Of course, transdermal patches — or stickers that gradually diffuse preloaded substances into the user’s bloodstream — are nothing new. You've likely heard of nicotine patches, which were first developed in the 1980s to help people quit smoking, or birth control patches, which have been an approved hormonal contraceptive since 2001. Transdermal drug delivery goes back millennia (think medicinal plants and oils), but the stick-on patches we know today stem from the first iteration approved in 1979 to treat motion sickness. Now, the expanding global transdermal patch ...

"I thought it was a scam," designer Kuai Li recalls of the DM she received from Kylie Jenner's stylist , Mackenzie Grandquist, in 2023. In her defense, most people in her position probably would, too. At the time, Li was a first-year graduate student pursuing an MFA in fashion design, with little experience and limited industry attention. The odds of Jenner's stylist coming across her work? It was too good to be true, she thought. But before deleting the message, Li did some research. "It turned out she was exactly who she said she was," Li says. Grandquist had seen a design of hers and "really wanted to bring some new things to Kylie Jenner." Kuai Li. Photo: Courtesy of Quine Li It only takes a quick glance at Li's work to see why Grandquist was so impressed. The Brooklyn-based designer has established a distinct de...

Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site. This in no way affects our editorial decision-making. Chloe Kim has been busy . The Olympic gold medalist (she became the youngest woman ever to win Olympic snowboarding gold in 2018) is still competing, having recently become one of the biggest stars in action sports , with eight X Games gold medals and multiple world titles. She's also hit up red carpets, made headlines with her boyfriend, NFL star Myles Garrett, and became Batiste's global brand ambassador. (Yes, that good drugstore dry shampoo.) Somehow, the 26-year-old athlete also finds time to read — and the girl knows ball. "I love romantasy," Kim told Fashionista at the "Batiste Pit Stop" truck at The Grove in Los Angeles. "I know 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' is coming out with the next book. I've been obsessed with 'Fourth Wing.' I've gone through all of the books." She also loves to shop, and she even did her ...
