Medik8 Has 30% Off Skincare Favorites For Black Friday

Refinery29’s beauty director Jacqueline Kilikita used this moisturizer down to the very last drop, and while this might not seem like an impressive feat, for a beauty editor whose job it is to try everything all at once, it says something about how excellent it is. “I love the cushiony texture that sits somewhere between a gel and a cream; it quenches my parched patches in seconds, all without leaving behind a greasy or tacky residue,” says Kilikita. The star ingredients are peptides (essentially skin-strengthening proteins), hydrating hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, which act like glue in between skin cells to keep them healthy and happy. “For me, ceramides are a must when I choose a moisturizer, especially in the winter when my skin becomes sensitive to cold weather and central heating,” adds Kilikita. Even better? It doesn’t break her out like other face creams. She’s already on her third tub.

ACL Fest Showcases 2010s Indie Favorites

ACL Fest Showcases 2010s Indie Favorites

If one thing was apparent after two weekends of the annual Austin City Limits festival, it’s that the never-ending cycle of nostalgia is shining a renewed spotlight on indie rock of the 2010s. With a lineup featuring darlings from that era such as Empire of the Sun, Cage the Elephant, Passion Pit, Phantogram, Dr. Dog, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and MARIN, ACL felt like stepping back in time with just enough of the right modern twists.

Fans chasing the throwback sound were faced with several scheduling dilemmas. On Friday, Empire of the Sun and Cage the Elephant took the stage at the same time across the massive Zilker Park from one another, with some spry attendees attempting to catch some of both. Cage’s set on the American Express stage was highlighted by fireballs and frontman Matt Shultz’s acrobatic stunts, while Empire of the Sun packed fans like sardines into the smaller Miller Light stage for a kaleidoscope of of EDM and trippy visuals.

Likewise, Passion Pit’s set at the Tito’s tent was often drowned out by T-Pain’s performance on the main stage, but songs such as “Sleepyhead” were still potent enough to jolt one back to the era of oversized shirts and Tumblr logins.

One of the weekend’s top names, the Strokes, were at a time a blueprint for many 2010s-era acts, and even frontman Julian Casablancas commented on the seeming generational divide on display at ACL. “It sucks that they make you choose, not to get political,” he said after joking that the band was going to take a break to watch some of Sabrina Carpenter’s simultaneous headlining set. The group’s 17-song performance featured nine songs from their first two albums, including five from 2001’s landmark Is This It.

As for Carpenter, she delighted not only Texans but fans of a certain age by welcoming the Chicks for a cover of their chart-topping 1998 single “Wide Open Spaces” and a version of Carpenter’s own “Please Please Please.” Red hot U.K, singer Olivia Dean served as the nightly audience member who is comically “arrested” during the song “Juno.”

Acts such as Joey Valance, gaming- and meme-loving hip-hop duo Brae and queer indie pop star King Princess drew large crowds of young fans throughout the weekend, while MJ Lenderman bridged the gap between indie rock and more jam-leaning sounds, creating the perfect vibe for a midday festival set on a shaded side stage. Wet Leg balanced punk attitude with dream pop, while Magdalena Bay juxtaposed bedroom pop vocals with cheekily retro set design.

Beyond dueling Sunday headliners the Killers (who busted out a rare cover of the Pet Shop Boys-popularized “You Were Always on My Mind”) and EDM star John Summit (who often spins cuts by 2010s artists such as Tame Impala, Kesha and the Temper Trap), Gregory Alan Isakov gave heartfelt thanks to the crowd for warching his first ACL set some 20-plus years into his career, Doechii impressed with her energy and stage presence and Gigi Perez cut threw the hot sun with her powerful singing at the Lady Bird stage.

13 Fashion Favorites From French Editor Eugénie Trochu

13 Fashion Favorites From French Editor Eugénie Trochu

by jummy84 September 15, 2025
written by jummy84

Eugénie Trochu is a Who What Wear Editor in Residence known for her transformative work at Vogue France; her Substack newsletter, where she documents and shares new trends, her no-nonsense approach to fashion and style, plus other musings; and she’s working on her upcoming first book that explores fashion as a space of memory, projection, and reinvention.

I’ve been in fashion for 15 years. I’ve watched trends rise and fall, silhouettes get reinvented, and countless “returns” arrive with their carefully packaged storylines: the “empowered” pencil skirt, the “perfectly cut” capri pants, the “next-generation” ballet flat, the “reinvented” trench coat. I’ve sat through shows that were choreographed down to the last detail. I’ve written reviews of collections—some sublime, others questionable. I’ve interviewed obsessive designers and exhausted stylists. I’ve learned how to read what clothes are saying, especially when no one is really looking anymore.

And yet, every morning when I open my closet, I come back to a wardrobe that barely shifts. Not a rigid uniform but a loose framework. Not a costume but a vocabulary. These are pieces that have stayed with me, year after year.

There’s the black Levi’s 501s, the Prada blazer, the Ralph Lauren men’s shirt I never returned, the oversize denim overshirt that rescues me from hesitation. There are white socks that peek out, gold family jewelry, vintage rock tees I bought more for what they evoke than what they display.

Some things I’ve worn to newsrooms, shoots, weekends à la mer, or meetings where I felt slightly out of focus. Others I wear to write, to walk, to think, to keep quiet. What I wear every day was never meant for photos. But it holds me. Grounds me. Knows me. So maybe it’s time to talk about it.

In the end, my wardrobe isn’t a strategy. It’s a selection. A discipline. A form of intimacy. I don’t dress to hold an image. I dress to hold a day, an idea, an intention. And everything I wear—my black jeans, scuffed ballet flats, sturdy blazer, rock T-shirts, inherited gold jewelry—serves exactly that: to carry me through without disguising me. There’s nothing spectacular about what I wear. But everything is precise. Everything is chosen. And maybe that’s what real luxury is, after all: knowing exactly what you love to wear, and why.

The Black Levi’s 501s (or Low-Rise Jeans on Sarcastic Days)

The black 501 is my foundation—worn through at the right knee, a little tight at the waist but still sharp. I’ve worn it with a white shirt to a Dior dinner and with a shapeless sweatshirt during the close of a September issue. The low-rise version is from the early 2000s (thank you, Vinted) but without today’s Y2K hysteria. I mean actual low-rise jeans: slightly loose, just enough hip to remind you the body exists, not enough to make it a statement. I pair them with a more intricate top and a leather jacket—Helmut Lang fall 1999 energy.

The Not-Too-Perfect White Tee and the Striped Men’s Shirt

I have dozens: Uniqlo, Petit Bateau, Hanes, a couple of unraveling Margielas, and one “vintage” shirt that’s just my dad’s. It has to be soft, washed-out, almost pale. Too new, and it looks suspicious. I tuck it into jeans, and roll the sleeves. That’s it. The striped men’s shirt is different. Thin stripes, slightly worn collar—mine’s Ralph Lauren. I stole it from an ex who wore it too well. Now I wear it better. Half-buttoned, half-untucked, paired with patent kitten heels so it says “I’m working” when I’m really just out buying Parmesan.

The Denim Jacket (or Overshirt on Sleepless Days)

A classic Levi’s jacket, found at a flea market in Los Angeles in 2011, softened by time. I wear it like a structured comfort blanket. On tired mornings, I reach for the oversize denim overshirt: longer, looser, more enveloping. I throw it over anything—a dress, a tee, an existential crisis. It’s my “I’m here, but don’t ask too much of me” piece. It does what a The Row trench does, without the offshore account.
