Annemarieke van Drimmelen's 'The Female Gaze' Focus for Zara Lingerie

ZARA’s new lingerie collection launched at the end of October, as a collection of elegant must-haves priced for higher-income shoppers. The Spanish retailer’s first intimates collection launched with more than 125 pieces, including bras, bodysuits, panties and elegant innerwear.

Prices began at $17.90 for panties and $199 for a silk pajama top.

“A parallel femininity is explored through a more ‘everyday’ approach, designed with the intent of being worn from morning through night,” the company said in a press release.

What did stand out in Zara’s lingerie collection launch is their ‘The Female Gaze’ approach to photography, starring models Edita Vilkeviciute, Karly Loyce and Sara Blomqvist. Ludivine Poiblanc styled the campaign with creative direction by Fabien Baron. Photographer Annemarieke van Drimmlen is behind the lens.

Humanrace 'Clean' Beauty Skincare Is Pure Pharrell Williams Philosophy

Humanrace 'Clean' Beauty Skincare Is Pure Pharrell Williams Philosophy

Pharrell Williams has launched an epic skincare brand at humanrace.com. Not only does the brand name Humanrace dovetail perfectly with the singer/rapper/designer/entrepreneur’s philosophical mindset. But because the two words are typically split in typography, searching for the single word brings up Pharrell Williams’ new venture in Google’s top position. Nice — and I doubt he paid much for it.

Yes, it helps that Humanrace’s November 25 launch covers the current issue of Allure magazine, lensed by Ben Hassett. All the relevant details of Humanrace’s DNA are covered in Brennan Kilbane’s interview Pharrell Dives Into the Beauty Business.

The chief sensations officer of Humancare is perfectly at home Zooming from his Miami kitchen about the super simple, skin-loving essentials developed with his longtime dermatologist, Elena Jones.

Eyeing the New South

It was an impactful, online New York Times ad recruiting artists to Virginia that first attracted me to Virginia Beach. That July 2017 midnight sighting was followed by the August 12, 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. That memorable weekend left me wondering if a move to Virginia was realistically in my destiny.

My cousin Jo and I spent several November 2017 days in Virginia three months later, and I remained positive about the move — highly impacted by the ‘truths’ about Jefferson that were openly-discussed in our tour at Monticello.

Looking out over a desolate, wintery Civil War battlefield was sobering post-Charlottesville, and I felt more strongly than ever that creating a New South was part of my older and wiser DNA.

I can say with total honesty, though, that news of Pharrell Williams’ 2019 ‘Something in the Water’ festival sealed the deal, removing any further hesitation about moving to Virginia. All systems became GO!

The beauty entrepreneur’s Allure interview with Brennan Kilbane delves into activism in a post George Floyd world.
