In a time when self-care has never mattered more, and the fact that you have more time on your hands, there's really no reason not to kick your beauty game into high gear.

Gucci has been upping its beauty game in the past few seasons, so it comes as no surprise that creative director Alessandro Michele is presenting a new product for spring. The Mascara L’Obscur sets itself apart from other formulas with its flexible elastomer brush. The design features a thin brush tip ensuring ultimate comfort and ease of application, catching the smallest of lashes and separating each lash to prevent clumping. The ultra-rich texture coats each lash to thicken and intensify without smudging, flaking, or feathering.

The Brands We Love That Are Fighting Against Coronavirus
In the dire times that our world is currently facing, nothing beats coming together as a solid community. And as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases continue to climb, heavyweight entrepreneurs and global businesses are doing what they can to rise to the challenge. Whether it's transforming factories from manufacturing high fashion to medical necessities, funding research or spreading important messages to their mega fan base, here are what some of the brands are doing in our fight against the pandemic.
Armani
The Armani Group is diving deep to support the cause of fighting the pandemic. Aside from donating US$1.4 million to hospitals and health organisations including Luigi Sacco, San Rafaele, Istituto dei Tumori and Instituto Lazzaro Spallanzni, with partial funding that will go towards Italy’s National Civil Protection Department, Armani has also switched up its production plants to produce single use medical overalls that will be distributed to healthcare workers throughout the country.
Burberry
British luxury house Burberry is switching gears to produce surgical gowns instead of their iconic trench coats. Donating over 100,000 surgical masks provided by a global supplier, along with medical gowns and masks produced in their Castleford trench factory in Yorkshire. Alongside these supplies, Burberry is also set to support vaccine research at Oxford University, as well as charities including FareShare and The Felix Project, which are offering aid to communities affected by the outbreak.
Bvlgari
Roman jeweller and watchmaker Bulgari continues to support the scientific and medical community in their fight against coronavirus. Following an important donation to the Spallanzani Hospital for Infection Diseases, Bulgari has decided to manufacture 100,000 bottles of hand sanitiser gel to be supplied to medical facilities and more through the Italian Civil Protection Department. The 75ml gels are bottled in recyclable plastic and the luxury brand will continue to manufacture and distribute in the coming months.
Chanel
Chanel is one of the latest to jump onboard the battle against coronavirus with its factories transformed into face mask and medical gown workshops. Prototypes are currently being designed and production lines are ready to go once approved by French authorities. While helping to close the gap between mask shortages, Chanel has also promised to retain the jobs of all 8,500 employees in France during this economic struggle too.
Dior
The French fashion label has recently joined its fellow LVMH brands in the production of Coronavirus supplies. Dior has just revealed that it has reopened their Baby Dior Atelier in Redon and dedicated its efforts to making new masks on a volunteer basis. Apart from medical staff, the masks by Dior will mainly be distributed to workers in supermarkets and other sectors still open and operating on a daily basis.
Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder is contributing US$2 million to Doctors Without Borders to support its efforts in countries that lack substantial resources to protect and fight against Covid-19. In addition, they will be reopening their factory in Melville to start producing hydroalcoholic hand gel and donating two million surgical masks for high-need groups including front-line medical staff in New York.
Gucci
In response to the Covid-19 outbreak, Gucci calls on the #GucciCommunity to launch two crowd-fundraising campaigns, alongside a donation of US$2.2 million. Accompanying the campaigns is a “We Are All In This Together” call-to-action, represented by an illustration depicting a person with their hand to their heart — a symbol of solidarity, gifted by Rome-based artist MP5. Half of the funding will go towards supporting the efforts of the National Civil Protection Department in Italy, in partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo. The other half will be channelled into supporting the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organisation, which will be matched by Facebook.
Ralph Lauren
Making the largest donation amongst all luxury companies so far in the war against Covid-19 is Ralph Lauren. The Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation has committed to US$10 million in relief efforts to help their team, partners and communities impacted by the pandemic across the globe through financial grants such as the Emergency Assistance Foundation, the brand’s Pink Pony Fund and more.

The 7 Luxury Candles, Incense and Essential Oils We’re Burning at Home
When you close your eyes and think of your favourite scent, what do you smell? Is it freshly cut grass; a burst of zesty citrus; a field full of lavender; or maybe even bread baking in the oven? Whatever it is, it's likely to be your favourite because it relaxes you. For centuries, ancient cultures have used fragrances and scented oils as a form of aromatherapy to soothe and relax stressed souls. In this sense, not much has changed. Today, we use scents in the form of candles, essential oils and incense to create a calm and relaxed ambiance at home. And since we're at home a fair bit at the moment, we thought it fitting to share our top seven luxury items to light up at home today.

The 6 New Spring Fragrances of 2020 to Wear Now
While we agree that florals for spring isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it is undeniably the season for newness. Whether you’re looking to switch up your beauty routine, inject some colour into your wardrobe, or changing up your fitness routine, spring is all about new beginnings. And what better way to thaw the winter blues than bring in bright and breezy scents to take you all the way through to autumn. Here, we have set our sights (and noses) on these six fragrances that hit the right notes for spring spritzing.
Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Femme
[caption id="attachment_198948" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Femme[/caption]
If fruits and florals are what you’re after in a scent, then the new Gucci Guilty edition is the way to go. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas opens with a transparent and green freshness using bergamot, grapefruit and watery accord, which is then layered with tangy notes of raspberry and pretty petals such as violet and jasmine, along with musk, patchouli and amber as its base notes. The result is a concoction of bold and bright characteristics that are harmoniously blended together -- think summer romance in a bottle.
HK$840/50ml
Atelier Cologne Pacific Lime
[caption id="attachment_198951" align="alignnone" width="5440"]
Atelier Cologne Pacific Lime[/caption]
Atelier Cologne’s latest perfume creation in the Joie de Vivre collection is Pacific Lime; a fragrance that is designed to take you on a journey. The bouquet bursts with refreshing citruses like zesty Mexican lime, Italian lemon, rich coconut from the Philippines, fresh American spearmint, and Chinese eucalyptus. Light and bright, this scent exudes a sense of travel and discovery even when you’re homebound.
HK$1,590/20ml; HK$1,120/100ml; HK$550/30ml
Calvin Klein CK Everyone
[caption id="attachment_198950" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Calvin Klein CK Everyone[/caption]
Who can forget the perfume that ruled the 90s – CK One. The bestseller was way beyond its time with the minimalistic, easily wearable and unisex approach. Two decades later and perfumer Alberto Morillas, who is the nose behind the original CK One, continues to follow the same brand ethos but is taking it a step further by adding clean and environmentally conscious to its list of attributes in its latest release, CK Everyone. Formulated with 79% naturally derived ingredients, you will find citrus notes in the organic orange oil paired with blue tea accord and vibrant cedar wood. The genderless fragrance is all about freshness and sweet sensuality with a little bit of an edge. It won’t be a surprise that this bottle might be as big (if not bigger) of a hit than CK One.
HKK$500/100ml
Chloé Nomade Absolu de Parfum
[caption id="attachment_198952" align="alignnone" width="1262"]
Chloé Nomade[/caption]
As the name suggests, Nomade is all about new voyages, exploration and freedom. Envision the sun reflecting on the sand in the heart of the desert in a landscape of colours – was the inspiration behind the scent says the house’s founder Gaby Aghion. Borrowing references from men’s cologne, Nomade combines warm oakmoss and soft sandalwood with sweet Mirabelle plum and velvety davana to create a new intoxicating, sensuous scent for spring.
HK$1,125/75ml; HK$945/50ml; HK$665/30ml
Guerlain L’Heure Blanche
[caption id="attachment_198949" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Guerlain L'Heure Blanche[/caption]
An ode to the colour white, L’Heure Blanche meaning The White Hour, is a light and airy fragrance that is like the first whisper of springtime. Soft and delicate, the ingredients and materials which come together are naturally white in tone; from milky notes and white amber to enveloping musks and powdery iris. The result of which is a gentle lingering of abstract floral accords that bring out feelings of beautiful rainfalls, a sense of expansive openness, and a breath of fresh air.
HK$5,400/125ml
Isabey La Route d’Emeraude
French perfumer Isabey debuted its first fragrance back in 1924 with La Route d’Emeraude. Many years later, the timeless scent has endured the coming and going of trends and is still relevant for spring 2020. With a strong floral bouquet and jasmine as its hero ingredient, the light sweetness of the flower adds a gentle freshness, which is both powerful yet passive at the same time. The top notes of bergamot, cinnamon and rose are blended with orange blossom, jasmine and ylang-ylang combined with base notes of amber, musk and vanilla. A refreshing scent that is reminiscent of blooming gardens from the Far East.

8 Fashion Podcasts to Tune in to
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And this is best encapsulated by fashion: You cannot separate Alessandro Michele’s Gucci from its warm-toned, surreal campaign images shot by Glen Luchford, for example. Neither can you think of Alexander McQueen’s designs without picturing the spectacular runway shows where he unveiled them. And any dress, bag or shoe you desire has likely found its way into your heart through a photo of one celebrity or another wearing it.
Besides the clothes themselves, images are the most powerful medium for fashion brands to tell a story. Lately, however, some brands have decided that a thousand words are not enough. They want more, something to fill up the space of 20 minutes or even an hour. Enter podcasts, fashion’s latest dip into modern tech trends.
Podcasts have boomed in the last couple of years thanks to our increasingly plugged-in, multitasking lifestyles. The beauty of podcasts is that they are audio-only, so you can be entertained while staying productive. For fashion fans, they offer a rare peek behind the curtain at the world of their favourite designers.
It’s fashion, unfiltered: creative directors get personal, sharing their creative processes, inspirations and ideas. Their celebrity muses and creative collaborators also talk about their craft, linking fashion to art, music and film. And it’s not just brands that are hopping on the podcast bandwagon. From journalists to stylists, fashion insiders have also launched their own series, sharing hot takes and insights on the industry.
Ready to dive into the world of fashion podcasts and be inspired (or schooled)? Here is our selection of the best ones to start listening to.

The Fashion Houses Rolling Out Designer Wallpaper for Luxury Interiors
It's official: wallpaper is well and truly back in 2020. And since taste in design, much like fashion, can vastly range from the modest to the maximalist, fashion houses are doing their bit to offer different forms of expression for your interiors. Whether it's geometric shapes or lines that tick your box, or the injection of life with colourful flora and fauna that tickles your fancy, here are seven fashion houses that have taken their designs from the runway to your walls.
Hermès
[gallery size="full" ids="195686,195685"]
In a collaboration with architect and illustrator Nigel Peake, this Hermès wallpaper depicts the area surrounding their flagship store in Paris.
