Presenting: Our 2021 Presidential Inauguration Style Awards

Still buzzing from the excitement of yesterday’s inauguration events? Us, too. Between the historic firsts and the memorable performances, it was a day we won’t soon forget. And thankfully, we even got a good meme or two out of it (thanks, Bernie!)

To reflect on the biggest fashion moments of the day, we present: the 2021 Presidential Inauguration Style Awards. From Jennifer Lopez’s OTT ensemble to a couple of fantastic sneaker moments, these are the style standouts from yesterday’s events.

The “I Can Still—And Will Always—Bring It” Award

Yesterday’s “wear purple” memo didn’t miss Michelle’s notice, and she made the gesture – which symbolizes bipartisanship; the two party colours coming together, and is also the colour of the suffragette movement – her own with a rich monochromatic outfit crafted by one of her favourite designers, L.A.-based Sergio Hudson. A cool, powerful outfit for a cool, powerful woman.

The “Fly Girl” Award

Lady Gaga’s Schiaparelli gown brought the drama during her performance of the American National Anthem, but the accompanying brooch by the brand really stole the show. “A dove carrying an olive branch. May we all make peace with each other” the star said on Twitter, and we couldn’t agree more.

The “I Should’ve Listened to Coco” Award

Gabrielle Chanel once said, “Elegance is refusal.” Jennifer Lopez, in a blizzard of white Chanel, could have followed her advice and lightened up on the hardware and pearls.

National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, wore a custom yellow coat and sumptuous satin headband by Prada, as well as earrings gifted by Oprah (!). We love how she styled the ruby red headwear, crown-style, over a stack of braids for a look truly fit for a queen. This is one of the 2021 Presidential Inauguration style moments we’ll always remember.

The “It’s Easy Being Green” Award

Author, lawyer and activist – and Vice President Harris’s niece – Meena Harris looked cozy and chic in a sage shearling coat by Coach from the New York-based brand’s Fall 2020 collection, which she wore over emerald separates by Ulla Johnson.

Deb Haaland, the U.S. Representative from New Mexico’s 1st congressional district and President Biden’s nomination to become the new Secretary for the Department of the Interior, paid glorious homage to her Laguna Pueblo tribe ancestry in a ribbon skirt made by Aiukli Designs.

Vice President Harris’s step-daughter, Ella Emhoff, is a fashion designer and student at Parsons, and she showed off her style savvy in an embellished coat from Miu Miu. She wore the sparkle-adorned piece with a prairie-style dress by cult label, Batsheva.

There were plenty of classic pumps on view yesterday, but Ashley Biden – daughter of Joe and Jill – stepped out of the box in a pair of tall, lace-up boots by American designer Gabriela Hearst (who was just tapped to join Chloé as its Creative Director).

A post shared by Bernie Sanders (@berniesanders)

In a look that launched 1,000 memes, senator Bernie Sanders made waves – and stayed true to his eco-minded and frugal agenda – with his re-wearing of a pair of mittens given to him by teacher Jen Ellis, which were made with upcycled yarn and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. Perhaps Bernie is the 2021 Presidential Inauguration style icon we never knew we needed.

Most Precious Kicks

Meena Harris’ husband, Nikolas Ajagu, caused a stir on Twitter in Dior Air Jordan 1s, which originally retailed for $2,000 but are now going for up to $10,000 on resale sites.

Most Poignant Pearls

On this historic day, I’m wearing Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm’s pearls, given to me by her goddaughter, who said that her godmother “would not want it any other way.”

Because of Shirley Chisholm, I am.

— Rep. Barbara Lee (@RepBarbaraLee) January 20, 2021

Many piled on the pearls for the inauguration ceremony, including Kamala Harris in a strand designed by Wilfredo Rosado; but the most meaningful were worn by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a U.S. representative for California’s 13th Congressional District. The strands once belonged to Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to US Congress.

The lewks didn’t end with the inauguration’s finale, though. A number of stars turned up in the Celebrating America special event in the evening, including Katy Perry, who stunned with a rendition of her song “Firework” and a patriotic but walking-prohibitive ensemble by Thom Browne.

Most Dynamic Duo

Talk about a perfect pairing! Performing their new song “Better Days” during the evening’s festivities, Justin Timberlake wore a dapper suit by Tom Ford, while Ant Clemons donned an all-black-everything look punctuated by his signature bright red toque.

Watch the Music Video For Billie Eilish and Rosalía’s Brand New Single

After teasing a collaboration for what feels like forever, Billie Eilish and Rosalía’s highly anticipated collaboration is finally here. The new song, titled “Lo Vas a Olvidar (You Will Forget Her),” just dropped today, along with the music video for the single, which was directed by Nabil. Fans have been patiently awaiting the single since Rosalía’s tweeted about it back in March 2019, saying “can’t wait to finish our song” alongside a photo of the pair.

And luckily for us, it looks like the song did, in fact, get finished. In the dark and moody music video for the Spanish single, Eilish rocks her signature neon green roots, and both singers don some matching conceptual nail art covered in gemstones and what looks like wire.

The song is also featured in an upcoming special episode of HBO’s Euphoria’s “Part Two: Jules,’” which will air tomorrow, January 22, on HBO Max, and Sunday, January 24 on HBO. The episode will take viewers into the world of Jules (played by Hunter Schafer), including how she spent the holidays as she reflects on the past year with Rue (played by Zendaya).

Watch the full music video for Billie Eilish and Rosalía’s brand new single, “Lo Vas a Olvidar (You Will Forget Her)” below.

Six Ways Technology is Changing Fashion For Good

“I tend to have rose-coloured glasses when looking at the industry,” says Toronto-based journalist and Electric Runway founder, Amanda Cosco. Her view of the fashion world is not only positive but global and multi-dimensional, as she’s provided insight into how technology is changing fashion for over five years on her innovative and informational platform.

After exiting 2020 – a year that saw virtual runway shows across the globe, a huge bump in e-commerce consumption, and consumers’ awareness of their carbon footprint at an all-time high – it’s no surprise that she’s feeling optimistic about the future of fashion. And she shared the six key ways we’ll see the industry continue to improve, thanks to tech innovations.

A better fit is within reach

“With so much moving online, our expectations are getting higher as consumers,” Cosco says of how user experience is continually being scrutinized and refined. And this user experience is perhaps most important when it comes to our satisfaction with an online purchase because it needs to fit without being physically tried on first; after all, how eco-friendly is it to keep buying and returning pieces if they’re not the sizing or silhouette we expected?

Cosco says that we’ll continue to see more leaps in fit technology, from brands like Unspun’s use of body scanning technology to the release late last year of an improved version of the Zozosuit – a sensor-covered wearable that helps retailers and brands better understand the contours of a consumer’s body.

Sustainability efforts keep on growing

Speaking of Unspun, Cosco also notes that the brand’s customizable, on-demand manufacturing approach addresses pervasive sustainability issues within the fashion industry as well. “You take pictures of yourself, answer some questions and pick finishes, and they send you a pair of custom-made jeans that wouldn’t have otherwise been manufactured,” she says. “It’s a complete reversal to the mass manufacturing model that we’re used to seeing.” She adds that “it’s interesting that bigger companies like H&M have worked with a company like Unspun, because they know that what they’re doing is the future, and the way [fast-fashion retailers] have been doing business has bottomed out.”

Technology is also improving the way companies and creatives source more sustainably minded textiles, with Cosco pointing to the example of Queen of Raw’s use of blockchain in creating “a marketplace for excess materials.” The New York-based platform, which was founded by Stephanie Benedetto, highlights that for every yard purchased from the site, 700 gallons of water is saved.

“Additionally, you have ThredUp, which is using artificial intelligence to pair shoppers with thrift clothes,” says Cosco, addressing the potential in previously owned clothing – for both purchase and rental – to reign, thanks to connections created online. “The second-hand market is only being enabled by technology.”

Inclusivity and self-expression will thrive

Brick-and-mortar shopping comes with a whole host of prohibitive issues for different shoppers, from entry being barred for wheelchair users to cash registers not being accessible for those shorter in stature to clothing racks being separated by gender. By contrast, the digital world makes room for many, and welcomes self-expression in countless forms.

“We’re seeing this with games, where people will change their ‘skins’, even paying money for new [ones],” Cosco says of domains like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which utilize QR codes to enable players to choose pieces from even the most high-end brands. “We’re living more online, and it’s becoming more of an outlet for the expression of who we are via fashion,” she adds, noting that the ability to switch up our style while gaming replaces the fast-fashion impulse to always have something new on – but without the same environmental impact.

Experiential is in a new dimension

Pre-pandemic, you couldn’t interact with the fashion world without hearing the term “experiential”, which described how you related to a brand’s products, ethos and community IRL. “Before, we saw the store as the centre of experience,” Cosco says. “Now brands that are still betting big on experiential are looking at digital to create those experiences.”

She highlights the recent immersive pin locations created to celebrate the collaboration between The North Face x Gucci; and we’re all waiting to find out exactly what Monday’s announcement about the “interactive, entertainment-first” launch of AZ Factory means. The label – which was founded by beloved designer Alber Elbaz – is set to make its debut on January 26^th during next week’s Haute Couture events, and has exclusive partnerships with e-tailers Farfetch and Net-a-Porter to launch its wares.

Fashion Week evolves ever-more

In addition to wondering what Couture Week will bring in terms of presentation style and the designs, other imminent fashion weeks are also set to remain online only (both London Fashion Week and Stockholm Fashion Week said this month that their events in February would be entirely digital). What that involves, enticingly, is anyone’s guess.

Cosco notes that last year’s fashion week presentations presented a bit of muddiness around their format. “Is it a livestream? Is it a fashion film? Is it a meet-and-greet with the designer?” she recalls about the myriad of ways brands chose to introduce their latest collections to the world. “We saw lots of experimentation, and it’s interesting to see what happens when creativity has constraints.”

Accountability is inescapable

 “If fashion week as we knew it represented a centrepiece of fashion as a whole, I don’t think that centre is holding anymore,” Cosco says while discussing how technology has changed not only the way we see and buy fashion, but also how the business of fashion operates. Recalling the Circular Fashion Summit she attended last year (virtually, of course, thanks to the use of an ocular headset), she says that as an industry “we’ve been questioning our role in keeping some traditions alive and squaring that with this new wave of digital.”

That doesn’t just mean companies are finding better ways to create sustainable products, though; Cosco says that there’s been an important uprising within the garment worker community online, giving it a necessary voice when it comes to factory and brand practices.

Ultimately, Cosco sees only a way forward for fashion thanks to a year where we learned to live online. “For people like me who have been looking towards the future of fashion and wishing that markets would adopt quicker, it’s been exciting,” she says. “[But] it’s bittersweet, of course, that it took a pandemic to get the industry to catch up.”

American Fashion Designers Are Front and Centre at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration

Following Melania Trump’s farewell ensemble of all-European designers earlier this morning, American fashion designers got a major shoutout at the 2021 Inauguration ceremony. President-elect Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and Douglas Emhoff all wore pieces by American designers on Inauguration Day.

A post shared by Joe Biden (@joebiden)

President-elect Biden appeared in a custom navy Ralph Lauren suit, breaking from tradition and forgoing the expected choice of Brooks Brothers, which 41 of the past 45 U.S. presidents have worn for their Inaugurations, including Barack Obama and Trump. Second Gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, also chose Ralph Lauren for his Inauguration Day suit, as well. Dr. Jill Biden wore a custom Markarian-designed matching blue coat and dress set embellished with Swarovski crystals and pearls, complete with a matching silk face mask by Colorado-born, New York City-based designer Alexandra O’Neill, of up-and-coming American label Markarian. According to a press release, Dr. Biden chose a blue dress to signify “trust, confidence, and stability.”

Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris wore designs by two Black designers, a dress and coat by Louisiana-born Christopher John Rogers, and heels by Sergio Hudson of South Carolina. Vice President-elect Harris finished her look with a pearl necklace by Wilfredo Rosado and a David Yurman American Flag Lapel Pin.

Kamala Harris Wears Pyer Moss the Night Before Inauguration

At a COVID-19 memorial ceremony last night, Kamala Harris – who will be sworn in as the first female and first person of colour to be Vice President of the United States later today – notably donned a camel coat by New York-based brand Pyer Moss, helmed by Kerby Jean-Raymond, for the occasion. The look set the tone for what we can expect in terms of how Harris will use her wardrobe as a symbol of support for Black American creatives such as Jean-Raymond, who won the CFDA Fashion Award for American Menswear Designer of the Year in 2020.

Harris’s outerwear choice was not only distinctive thanks to its offbeat design detail of a curved panel across the back shoulders; it more importantly marks a shift in ideology within the White House orbit. While incoming President Joe Biden has reportedly selected a suit by Ralph Lauren for the inauguration, Harris’s bold move last night shows us that she’s not afraid to step outside the status quo with her outfits.

Using fashion as a means of advocacy and calling attention to important issues is certainly nothing new for women who hold political power; and Harris’s coat is an especially potent visual cue for consideration given Jean-Raymond’s outspokenness about tokenism in the fashion industry. But sartorial choices have also been weaponized against such accomplished women; consider the backlash toward Finland’s Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, and her decision to wear a blazer with nothing underneath for a magazine photo shoot last year.

Harris’s navigation of the sexism inherent in people’s opinions of how women dress is worth observation; but last night’s outfit heralds an exciting and much-needed opportunity for change. And now, we wait to see what Harris emerges wearing for her swearing-in…

Melania Trump Exits The White House in An All-Black Outfit and $90,000 Birkin Bag

It’s the (long-awaited) end of an era. Earlier this morning, Donald and Melania Trump made their final exit out of the White House, as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to be sworn into office, on Inauguration Day 2021.

For her final outfit as First Lady, Melania chose a somber-looking all-black ensemble, including a Chanel jacket, Christian Louboutin So Kate black patent leather stiletto heels, oversized sunglasses and a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag estimated to be worth well over $70,000 USD.

In case you’re in the market for something similar to Melania Trump’s Birkin, you can snag your very own Hermès Birkin 35 Crocodile Porosus Black GHW on 1st Dibs for a mere $112,150.48.

After speaking with the media and offering their final goodbyes, the first couple boarded Air Force One to head to President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida where they will stay for the time being.

The 2021 Sleep Horoscope You Didn’t Know You Needed

Welcome to 2021! After the uniquely challenging year we survived in 2020, one thing is certain for every Zodiac sign: We could all use more sleep and self-care. But are you really setting yourself up for the best possible sleep? And what even is your go-to sleep position? Don’t worry, plenty of rest is in this year’s forecast, and we have all the answers you need in your 2021 sleep horoscope. No matter your sign, we’re seeing lots of Zs in your future.

ARIES
Sleep style: The Climber

Settle down there, Aries! We know you’re cheerful and determined even in the face of adversity, but even the most ambitious hyped-up ram needs to take some time to chill out once in a while. Maybe it’s time to channel that energy into some bedtime meditation?

Your guide to better sleep in  2021: An Endy mattress helps minimize motion transfer, so even if you’re up half the night writing inspirational quotes on the wall again, your partner can sleep soundly as they won’t feel a thing.

TAURUS
Sleep style: The Cuddler

You, Taurus, are the most sensual of all the star signs, so you just can’t stop yourself from wiggling up to your partner (or pillow) next to you. For you, bedtime = playtime. We’re all for it.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: The new year will bring even more opportunity for bedroom exploration, so you may want to invest in Endy’s mattress protector—which guards against dust, moisture and “wear and tear” to help keep your mattress like new.

GEMINI
Sleep Style: The Dreamer

Oh, whimsical Gem—you’ve spent 2020 fantasizing about all the gorgeous warm places you’d rather be and forgetting that you put that sourdough bread in the oven. Is it your fault you can now watch every single episode of The Golden Girls from your bed as if it were your manifest destiny? No, no it is not!

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Lean into your strengths (ie: lounging and watching Golden Girls) by adding some silky soft Endy organic cotton sheets to your viewing setup so you can dream in luxury.

CANCER
Sleep Style: The Mummy

You may be a bit tough on the outside, but everyone knows you’re a big softy on the inside, and you love turning the hygge factor in your cozy home up to “fireplace-channel-all-day, every-day” levels.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Is it getting hot in here? Maybe it’s time to try sleeping on a cooling and Canadian-made Endy mattress, specially designed with foam that disperses and releases heat fast.

LEO
Sleep Style: Starfish

Yes, Leo, everyone knows this is *your* bed. And you definitely need all of it. Nobody is challenging your claim to the bedroom throne—you are the bed queen!

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Queens need a mattress that’s worthy of their beauty rest, which is why the Endy—with its open-cell comfort layer (that’s science for “Your Highness”)—evenly distributes pressure points on your body so you can relax more fully into your sweet dreams.

VIRGO
Sleep Style: The burrito

Okay, Virg, we all know you were an insomniac before it was popular, which also means you’ve been all about the Endy weighted blanket before all your friends started texting “OMG have you tried this weighted blanket?” Wrapping yourself in this blanket burrito-style is your favourite way to tune out and stop seeing spreadsheets on the ceiling (a la Beth in The Queen’s Gambit).

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Time to tackle that insomnia and up your sleep game by adding a customizable Endy pillow to your regime. Fastidious Virgs will love the fact they can adjust the amount of shredded foam on the inside.

LIBRA
Sleep Style: Half and half

Libra, you even bring your diplomatic game to your snooze set up. You believe everyone—yourself included—should get the best of both worlds, so you devote your sleep to both the outside-blanket air and under-blanket zone. They both should get a piece of you, it’s only fair.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: The anti-bunching baffle-box construction of the Endy duvet means everything will stay in its proper place so you can experience cozy warmth and cooling air circulation in the correct half-in, half-out percentage.

SCORPIO
Sleep Style: The Pillow Fort

We know you love controlling your environment, Scorpio, and when you set your mind to something, nothing can stop you. Turns out, in all the mayhem of the past year your mind was set on building the ultimate pillow fort, your very own magic citadel to sleep and seek refuge in.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: It’s time to level up—you deserve it. Fortify the barricades with a mountain of fully adjustable Endy pillows, a comfy safe haven from which you can slowly take over the world.

SAGITTARIUS
Sleep Style: All Balled Up

Sag, your endless quest for knowledge can sometimes leave you drained. Seriously, no one can memorize every single Real Housewives episode, not even an energetic superhero like you.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Give yourself a break and lounge around like Yolanda Hadid on some luxe Endy sheets. Your brain (and body) are due for some blissful rest.

CAPRICORN
Sleep Style: The Face Plant

Cappies, we know you’re laser focused on career success, but it’s possible you’re driving yourself a little too hard, evidenced by the fact that by the end of your ambitious day you literally faceplant into an exhausted slumber.

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: If you’re going to insist on laying like this because efficiency is king and you swear it “makes you smarter, faster, stronger!” (does it, though?) make sure you can still breathe by resting your noggin on a comfy and adjustable memory foam Endy pillow.

AQUARIUS
Sleep Style: The Yogi

You’re a big thinker Aquarius, and spend a lot of time laying in bed having thoughts like: “Saving the world be like…” and “If my name is Aquarius then WHY AM I TECHNICALLY AN AIR SIGN? Who am I? Who are you? What is life even?!”

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: Give your deep bedtime thoughts some rest on the stylish and built-to-last Endy bed frame. It’s Canadian-made and assembles in minutes, no tools (or existential crises) required.

PISCES
Sleep Style: The Un-Wakeable

Hellooo? Hellooo in there—Pisces? We know you’re really enjoying exploring your imagination (or, let’s be real, hiding) during dream time but you’ve still got to get up and do your daily water colour paintings at some point, ok?

Your guide to better sleep in 2021: If you’re going to continue spending half your days under the covers, invest in a more restful sleep with a perfectly balanced Endy mattress so you can wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world.

“Drivers License,” The Song That’s All Over TikTok, is Officially the Biggest Song in the World

If you’ve opened TikTok even once in the last couple of weeks (even just for a minute), then you’ve definitely heard 17-year-old Olivia Rodrigo’s hit single, “Drivers License.” The hard-to-miss track appeared seemingly out of nowhere and is now impossible to avoid. Since launching on January 7th (yes, it’s really only been 12 days) the song has amassed over 46 million views on YouTube and is currently the sound used in over a million (!) TikToks. Even Taylor Swift is a fan.

Rodrigo isn’t completely new to the scene; she’s appeared on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark in 2016 and Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series back in 2019, though this is her first single. Today, “Drivers License” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #1, making it the 48th song ever to debut on top of the chart, joining hits like Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy,” Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.”

And that’s not the only record the song has broken. Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” has also surpassed Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” for the most streams in a single day for a song by a female artist in US Spotify history. It may only be the third week of 2021, but we’re calling it now: “Drivers License” is the breakup song of the year. If you’ve (somehow) not heard the track yet, do yourself a favour and watch the music video below.
