On the Plus Side: Men’s Fashion Gets Extra

O

h, James Corbin. The 23-year-old boy from Brixton, a rising star in men’s modeling with a disarmingly cherubic mien and the kind of big, beautiful eyes that strike you like deep pools of joy and wisdom, is without doubt the most beautiful person I’ve ever met in real life — even if I found myself singing his name to the Jeremy Corbyn x Seven Nation Army mash-up. Perhaps it is all that revolutionary zeal: at 6ft 1in, with a pout that could launch an Ancient Greek fleet, young Corbin is making waves as one of the few — indeed, only — plus-size male models in the luxury fashion game. ‘I sincerely want change,’ says Corbin, sitting at home in Kensal Rise. ‘I just want to have the full experience that a normal model would get and I feel like I deserve that. Plus-size people deserve that and we don’t

The Evolution Of The Health Tech: Positive Change Through Interoperable Solutions

The Evolution Of The Health Tech: Positive Change Through Interoperable Solutions

The American Healthcare Industry has experienced many large-scale changes in the past few decades. This timeframe has afforded us many drastic reforms in the industry such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or the widespread shift towards Value-Based Care. However, the most noteworthy and significant change is the gradual adoption of software solutions into the healthcare industry. The digitization of healthcare has brought numerous benefits to healthcare organizations that are able to streamline their day-to-day operations. More importantly, these solutions have made life easier for care providers and patients by simplifying the delivery of care. In order for these complex systems to operate, they need to display competency in Interoperability.

How Interoperability Ties It All Together

Interoperability in the context of healthcare refers to the use of many complex systems and information technology (IT) to exchange and interpret health-based data. As many software systems were designed for specific tasks, the

Timothee Chalamet is the first solo man to grace the cover of British Vogue

While some might argue Harry Styles was an obvious choice as the lead solo male cover for British Voguethe first in its 106-year history, the honor has been bestowed on 26-year-old American Timothee Chalamet (Harry was instead the first solo male cover for American Vogue in December 2021, the first solo male cover in its 135-year history).

Chalamet was tapped by editor-in-chief Edward Enninful to appear on the October 2022 edition of British Voguelensed by Steven Meisel in a wardrobe of rock/punk-inspired looks from a range of designers including Mugler, Prada, Balmain, Miu Miu and more.

Ultra-Processed Foods May Impair Cognition in Elderly
Processed or ultra-processed?

An article earlier this year in the European Journal of Nutrition reported that high consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked to worse-than-average performance on one particular test of cognitive function in older US adults (60+ years-old) who did not have chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The particular test was “Animal Fluency.” Never heard of it? Me either. Keep reading.

The study included 2,700 participants, average age 69. Participants were asked to recall what they ate in the prior 24 hours. Foods were “classified according to NOVA, a food classification based on the extent and purpose of industrial food processing, into four mutually exclusive groups: (1) unprocessed or minimally processed foods, (2) processed culinary ingredients, (3) processed foods, and (4) UPFs [ultra-processed foods].”

Ultra-processed foods? “…most foods described as “Frozen meals” or “Lunchables”, as well as some items described as consumed in “Restaurant fast food/pizza”

Improving Patient Care Through Technology Orchestration

Improving Patient Care Through Technology Orchestration

As healthcare shifts towards a more patient-centric approach, health providers across the world are looking for innovative ways to enhance the patient care journey. The infusion of software solutions into the healthcare industry has helped providers improve the overall patient experience. One of these solutions is Care Orchestration, a method that uses Information Technology (IT) to improve the care journey. Care Orchestration can be defined as the coordination of many complex computer systems, servers, and applications in a way that enhances the care journey. In a clinical setting, Orchestration allows for a simplification of patient workflows and an overall improvement in efficiency. Care Orchestration helps healthcare providers streamline their existing care journey by identifying and addressing their current inefficiencies.

Care Orchestration and Value-Based Care

Care Orchestration is an instrumental asset for health systems that seek to adopt a value-based outlook. This system is a polar opposite from the traditional fee-for-service

The Target Fall Designer Collection is All About Versatility

Kika Vargas’s approach to design might be a little more look-at-me than La Ligne’s, with colorful hand-drawn prints featured on the standout dresses from the collection (there’s also a great purse that resembles a winter puffer jacket). But she also believes the clothes in her collection are perfect for a grand event or a coffee run. “I want them to wear it throughout the day,” she says.

For Vargas, who is primarily based in Colombia, working with Target meant the chance to lean into greater size inclusivity. “We don’t necessarily get to work that often with the bigger sizes,” she says, “so it was really nice to be able to focus on inclusivity, to go from an XX-small up to a 4X.”

But are there any targets in Columbia? “No,” she answers with a laugh. Nonetheless, designing for the powerhouse company was a cherished and nostalgic experience. Vargas spent much

The British-American fashion designer Harris Reed kicked off London Fashion Week with his signature flare for putting on a theatrical production through his work and giving traditional design codes a gender-fluid flip. This time, he explored the themes of a debutante ball, rewriting conventional female tropes with his take.

For his Spring/Summer 2023 demi-couture collection, he played up waist-cinching corsets and voluminous crinolines in regal colors like fuchsia and marigold, teaming them with rocker-ready black thigh-high boots and grandiose headpieces from milliner Vivienne Lake, who designed the sky-scraping halo and bell-shaped creations this season.

Whether she’s dressed for a “casual Thursday” or is “all pretty in pink” for a dinner outing, Gia Giudice loves a good blazer moment. The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter often incorporates blazers into her stylish outfits, and she showed off her most recent eye-catching look during a trip to California on September 20.

While in Los Angeles to support her mom, Teresa Giudice, for the premiere of Dancing with the Stars, Gia shared a look at her head-turning street style. She paired an oversized blazer from Hazel Boutique with a bra top and Aritzia jeans. Gia also donned open-toe Prada shoes and completed her outfit with several designer accessories, including a Chanel belt, Versace sunglasses, and a Dior purse.

In a 2021 interview with BravoTV.com, Gia opened up about how her mom has recently inspired her fashion choices, although that wasn’t always the case. “My mom is
