The collection features three mini Pocket Pearls: a portable twist on the brand’s bestselling Pocket Blush formula.

No one tells you what happens after the flames are gone: waking up in a home that isn’t yours, lacking basic essentials, repeating every detail of your loss to adjusters. For Arija, the focus should have been on grieving, not on endless paperwork and a payout far short of what she’d lost. “I kept thinking ‘How can I even think of rebuilding my home right now?’” No one is ready to deal with an insurance claim after a devastating loss.

We’re less than a week into the month of September—and although it still feels like summer, autumn-coded plaid shirts are beginning to pop up everywhere. From the farm to the runway (remember Bottega Veneta’s viral flannel top modelled by Kate Moss during its spring/summer 2023 presentation?), this gridded pattern has long been synonymous with fall fashion, but the stylish set appear to be doubling down on the lumberjack look this season. Here to embrace the trend?

If fashion week season has the big four—New York, London, Milan and Paris—the film industry has the big five: Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Toronto and Sundance’s new home in Boulder, Colorado. Over in Italy’s floating city, the stars are arriving at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, and they look good.

Today, she is at Château de La Colle Noire, the late Christian Dior’s Provençal refuge, to chat about the fragrance’s newest chapter.
