The alternative lifestyle and gothic fashion brand, Killstar hosted an incredible holiday event at the Pink Metal bar located in Bushwick Brooklyn. Killstar’s Black Hexmas, the brand’s edgy take on “X-Mas”, event stayed true to its theme as the gothic antithesis of Christmas.  The celebration of Black Hexmas came with dazzling burlesque performances, festive holiday drinks, and appearances by Summer House/Winter House’s Lindsay Hubbard, RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Aquaria.

.I love Christmas just as much as I love a good-themed party and I must say, walking into the Pink Metal bar was like walking into another world. Everything from the Black Hexmas themed drinks to the gothic Killstar photo booth, was all an exciting experience. As someone who wouldn’t describe my style as, gothic, I can still appreciate a good piece from any fashion brand. The ‘Doom Vegan Leather Vest‘ worn by Lindsay Hubbard is one of my favorite pieces from the brand because it’s so versatile and can be styled in a multitude of ways.

See how Lindsay styled her ‘Doom Vegan Leather Vest’ Black Hexmas Killstar look below!

Exclusive: MYRASWIM Founder Bianca Elouise Dishes on Dressing A-Listers

by Samantha Bergeson
written by Samantha Bergeson
Former pro surfer, designer, and celebrity fan favorite? There’s little that MYRASWIM founder, CEO, and Creative Director Bianca Elouise can’t do.
And don’t let the brand name fool you: MYRASWIM doesn’t just stop at the beach. The clothing line includes stunning ready-to-wear garments and menswear, in addition to high-quality and high-fashion swimsuits.
Back in 2013, Australian designer and former pro surfer Elouise founded the premium swimwear line, now beloved by celebs like Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and Jennifer Lopez. The body-positive branding accentuates curves in a stylish way, with a minimalist aesthetic and signature high-cut bottoms. MYRASWIM is sold internationally by Net-a-Porter, SSENSE, and Olive LA.
Below, Elouise discusses her design inspiration, celebrity secrets, and favorite pieces from the latest collection. Before jetting off to your own tropical holiday vacay, hear Elouise’s exclusive go-to picks!
The Knockturnal: What inspired you to shift from surfer to designer in 2013 and start MYRASWIM? 
Bianca Elouise: I grew up being a creative. Mum always said I was born with it. Being a child always wanting to do art, I started to sew and sketch in my teens. After my sponsorship contracts with Billabong ended, I had to start buying my swimwear. What I wanted I couldn’t find. So the ideas and work started from there…
The Knockturnal: MYRASWIM has already garnered a huge A-lister fan base. Which celebs have you worked with personally? 
Bianca Elouise: We have worked so hard to gain and maintain relationships with some of my fav celebs. Going from PR pitches and stylist pulls to dealing directly with the clients themselves is fantastic. The respect and loyalty they show to my work is mind-blowing. It’s an honor. I work directly with Karreuche, Eva Longoria, Lori Harvey, Tracey Ellis Ross, Ryan Destiny, J.Lo, Lara Worthington, Eniko Hart, and Emily Ratajkowski. They’re all such lovely people!
The Knockturnal: What about the brand is distinctly universal, and also distinctly Australian? 
Bianca Elouise: Being swimwear, it’s 100% Australian. We invented the bikini! The bikini was first designed and worn on the Gold Coast, my home city, many decades ago. I take pride in continuing that.
I’ve worked very hard to distinguish my brand identity globally. You would think it would be impossible to recognize a plain black bikini. Back when I started, that was hard to find! But with my designs, fabrics and cuts, I’ve for sure established a brand recognized by just those things. Many people say, ‘I can tell when it’s Myra, ’ which is a HUGE compliment as a designer.
The Knockturnal: Where do you draw design inspiration from?
Bianca Elouise: History, 80’s/90’s swim fashion is 100% me. I wish I could have lived through that period.
In saying that, I design for myself. I never lose touch with where I started. I started making what I could not find to fit my shape and size, and I continued to do that.
The Knockturnal: How do you describe the MYRASWIM customer? 
Bianca Elouise: Confident and stylish. I’ve received a lot of feedback over the years from women that say they’ve never wanted to wear a swimsuit, but as soon as they get into one of mine, they feel so confident and beautiful, and that brings so much joy to my life. My customers love or learn to love their bodies; feeling comfortable wearing minimal garments is sometimes hard, but I’ve designed to develop that ‘I love my body’ feel when wearing MYRASWIM.
The Knockturnal: What are some of your favorite pieces from this latest collection? 
Bianca Elouise: I love the Borne one piece. Having a super high cut and waistband, I feel like this piece looked terrific on many different bodies. It was for sure a customer favorite. But in saying that, I love the tonal colors I chose. The oyster shade was such a beautiful color, and I’ve decided to follow it through to SS22.
The Knockturnal: How do you think the fashion industry, especially swimwear, is addressing body positivity? 
Bianca Elouise: Using a diverse range of models is helping just that. I see a lot of brands using from XXS to XXXXL models, and it’s incredible. Every brand has a different demographic and market, and not all swim brands have the same customers. But just seeing a wide variety is helping women feel more comfortable wearing swim.
The Knockturnal: What led to the decision to expand into kids and menswear? 
Bianca Elouise: I see a lot of family fashion on social media. I’ve had feedback from mothers who own Myra garments saying they would love a plain swimsuit for their kids; everything is so patterned and colorful that we want simple, stylish things for children too. It took a couple of years to process, but I finally took the step. We’ve had a great reaction to the collections, especially matching designs for adults, and mums love to match their minis. And expanding to mens & boys recently was along the same lines. My dad helped me with the men’s designs; we nailed it!
The Knockturnal: Lastly, what are some of your holiday traditions? Will you be at the beach in MYRASWIM? 
Bianca Elouise: I was fortunate enough this year to be able to buy a beachfront home. So this year for Christmas we will be spending it here. We usually spend the day at the beach as it’s summertime here. Lots of summer foods & refreshing drinks. I have a small family, so it’s normally just a chilled summer day all in our MYRASWIM, of course!

Holiday Glitz and Glam at the YSL Beauty Pop-up

by Megan D'Souza
written by Megan D'Souza

On a chilly Friday evening in Soho, we ducked into YSL Beauty’s holiday pop-up to catch an inside look of the exclusive, captivating world YSL Beauty has to offer. From December 10th-12th, YSL Beauty hosted an extravagant experience for customers to browse, enjoy, and participate in. To celebrate all the YSL products and brand magic, interactive displays such as “The Libre Lounge” and “The Y Studio” scattered the auditorium. We explored each of the areas and left with a little more glam in our lives.

 

At the Y Studio, pop-up visitors got the chance to walk a catwalk in YSL Beauty style, from backstage to front-and-center, posing in the middle amongst a gold-bathed stage and setup. We recorded our model walk and got to take home the studio-quality video. At the Libre Lounge, we snapped pics in front of the flame-effect “LIBRE” display and sampled the floral namesake perfume while relaxing on plush couches. From the YSL Cafe stand, we grabbed vanilla chai lattes complete with brand-themed latte art and got a caffeinated pick-me-up before our scheduled makeovers.

 

When our turn came for the beauty chair, skilled makeup artists curated a unique look for each of us by asking our personal styles, makeup comfort level (natural or colorful / glam), and what our night held in store so they could give us the perfect look to take us through the rest of the day with confidence. I got to try a gold smokey eye from the new eyeshadow palette, and a matte red lipstick that perfectly captured the holiday spirit – we left the makeup zone, and the pop-up event, with that YSL Beauty glow that brightened our nights. We hope you got the chance to stop by their glitzy festive popup this year, and stay tuned for more YSL Beauty popups in the future by signing up for their mailing list!
