Zara x Stefano Pilati

Stefano Pilati, former artistic director of Yves Saint Laurent, is launching a capsule collection for men and women at Zara. The designer has imagined 300 pieces, clothing, shoes and accessories which will be on sale worldwide from October 3. It is the model Gisele Bündchen who poses with the Italian designer, under the lens of the famous photographer Steven Meisel, and the result is very successful. Zara is thus continuing its move upmarket, because for some time now, the Spanish brand’s prices have increased, certain collections have been launched in limited editions, and the in-store experience has become more pleasant; automatic cash registers and automated exchange points have been installed there. Zara thus wishes to distance itself from the giants ofultra fast-fashion Shein and Temu, and offers more distinguished collections, while increasing the number of online events. Moreover, Cindy Crawford and her daughter Kaia Gerber participated this week in the first video stream shopping from Zara, a live shopping event. The two star models are seen trying on different Zara ensembles chosen by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, an eccentric French fashion editor, who has worked with top fashion photographers and designers.

Tested and approved: radiant screen

We told you some time ago about this new range of screens, called Ultra Violet, which undoubtedly saved us from a lot of sunburn last summer. But just because it’s cooler doesn’t mean we should neglect good habits. The Australian range has just released a new product, this time in serum form, but still broad spectrum (SPF 50). Slightly oily, let’s be honest, the serum penetrates quickly, gently hydrating the face, without the slightest tingling. To be used before makeup, which will fortunately fade the slight oily finish. We love the radiant effect here, which produces an immediate healthy glow, which lasts as a bonus. Ideal for stretching out your summer complexion at the start of autumn! Please note that the product is not cheap, but that it can be consumed drop by drop, which is not to be neglected.

$56.50 for 50 ml, on sale online and at Sephora
