Off-White debuts beauty line
Virgil Abloh's beauty line Paperwork debuted posthumously on Off-White's Fall 2022 runway back in February and is now available for purchase on the brand's site and Farfetch. According to Vogue, Abloh saw the expansion into beauty as "another canvas, another surface for human expression." The collection acts like a "toolkit," complete with four signature scents, an assortment of face and body stencils and a range of six nail lacquers. {Vogue}

The resilience of Glossier's Emily Weiss
Courtney Rubin's thoughtful portrait of Glossier's Emily Weiss for Bustle explores how the millennial entrepreneur is on a mission to scale her makeup company, no matter the setbacks. "Looked at one way, the tech debacle was another story of a startup pivoting and losing its way. Looked at another way, the layoffs were a sign of Glossier's — and Weiss' — maturity," writes Rubin. "The beauty company was giving up on its biggest dreams in order to double down on its attainable ones. Caution, after all, is how a CEO avoids becoming a cautionary tale who chases vaporware at the expense of their core business — and ends up the subject of a streaming mini-series." {Bustle}
