I had the chance to speak to young fashion designer, Laura Albertí, about her intellegent, high-concept designs.

Baking Soda Skincare.
Baking soda has long been one of those well kept beauty industry secrets, with brands like Philosophy, GlamGlow, and Dr. Dennis Gross using sodium bicarbonate or other baking soda derivatives in their products. Offering mild exfoliation, pore minimization, blackhead removal, and a cure to mild acne, it’s no wonder skincare companies have been capitalizing on this simple yet powerful ingredient. I round up the best way to save on this trend with DIY.
Victoria Beckham Esteé Lauder Collaboration.
Victoria Beckham is no stranger to makeup lines. Most recently, the Spice Girls alum worked with London-based nail bar and polish producer, NailsInc, in a colour collaboration everyone was dying to get their hands on (and dying to get on their hands). Since the success of Judo Red and Bamboo White, we’re sure Beckham has been approached by countless cosmetics companies to put her stylish twist on their brands. And considering the NailsInc Nail Duo by Victoria Beckham was limited edition and impossible to find during its debut week (let alone a year later), the world needed her to accept one of those offers.
Dilip Kumar’s Health Scare.
Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar was recently released from hospital. Best known for his roles in Madhumati, Shakti, and Gunga Jumna, his upwards of 60 years spent in the industry has made the so-called “Tragedy King” one of the most admired actors of all time. With SHE Canada, I explain how the Tragedy King has escaped his latest brush with his namesake.
SHE Picks: Environmental Indulgences.
In honour of Earth Month wrapping up, I counted the most painless ways big businesses helped us save the planet this year. From donating clothes to eating pizza, here are the best ways you can help out Mother Earth next April.
Quintessentially Quaint.
Inspired by Signe Roedbro’s yearning for the comfort of childhood clothing, Danish brand,By Signe, was founded just last year and operates with only a small team. With the intimate crew carrying out everything from design to debut under one roof, By Signe has mastered minimalist Scandinavian design and the Danish concept of hygge. Pronounced hoo-gah, hygge is a uniquely Danish idea that has no equivalent phrase in English, but can be roughly translated to “providing physical and mental comfort”. Keeping this definition in mind, the notion might be best understood through my chat with the designer herself.
