A Bathing Ape's BAPE Store® COMMES des GARÇONS combines the laidback-meets-edgy aesthetic of the two brands, combining crisp wooden installations with eye-catching camo walls designed by none other than Kawakubo herself.

Charlotte Tilbury held its first-ever virtual event
Charlotte Tilbury herself hosted the brand's first-ever Zoom event
Many events got cancelled due to the pandemic, but as they say, if there's a will, there's a way! We got to join Charlotte Tilbury's first-ever Zoom event last 15 April hosted by the brand's founder herself. Over 250 participants and influencers from across Asia celebrated the launch of the brand's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir. As the product name suggests, this serum is meant to deliver youthful and radiant-looking skin by harnessing the power of key ingredients such as polyglutamic acid, golden vitamin C, and more. Despite its digital nature, the event felt as intimate as ever with the participants discussing the exciting new release clad in their best outfits and beauty looks. Talk about putting the 'social' in 'social events' even against limiting circumstances.

However, it seems like the TikTok community is finally catching up. Would you try out this trend to level up your con-call look?
