Refillable, Reusable Receptacles
Brands are creating carefully crafted containers designed to live on your shelves instead of landfills. It's hard not to get hooked on Tata Harper Skincare's Restorative Eye Crème, a plumping formula that makes eyes look less tired. Thankfully, there's a good contingency plan for when you run out: Both the starter receptacle's pod ($130) and the refill pods ($110 each) contain 96 pumps' worth of the formula (tataharperskincare.com). Kate McLeod's Forest Stone is a palm-size orb of cocoa butter and plant-based oil, which melt with body heat to become a silky yuzu-and-woodsy scented body moisturizer. The "stone" comes packaged in recyclable paper and a reusable (and compostable) bamboo canister, and you can purchase refills online ($45; katemcleod.com). Irene Forte Skincare Apricot Penta-Acid Face Polish ($110; ireneforteskincare .com) contains a blend of physical and chemical exfoliants, including wheat bran and red grape skin, made from upcycled materials from Northern Italy. The glass jar is refillable, and the refill component is also recyclable (with a prepaid shipping label to UK waste management company First Mile), which gives it a second life. The new perfumes from La Bouche Rouge come in five scents: Rose, Nude, Ambre, Rouge, and Bleu. Thirty percent of the ingredients are derived from upcycled raw materials, and each scent comes in a glass spray bottle ($195 each). Refills ($95 each) are packaged in 100 percent upcycled aluminum tubes, a first in the fragrance industry (laboucherougeparis.com).

The Surreal Life of Tyla - Inside the dizzying, meteoric rise of a true African pop star.
The night before the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Tyla was unusually calm. The South African singer was about to give a surprise performance at the Prelude to the Olympics, held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton and attended by celebrities from Zendaya to LeBron James.I was asked to do the event by Pharrell [Williams, Louis Vuitton Men's creative director], so it was insane-an instant 'Yes, she says. Sometimes I'm nervous, like I'm really nervous. But this time, Tyla looked forward to the show the entire day.
Wellness - Amazing Grace - Actress Toks Olagundoye was making people laugh on TV while managing intense treatments for breast cancer.
My work makes me really happy, says Toks Olagundoye, an acting veteran who plays Olivia Finch on the Paramount+ reboot of Frasier. That's one reason she stuck with the hit show's first season despite a shock diagnosis: During the course of preparing for and filming the series, as well as Paramount+'s Fatal Attraction, she underwent chemotherapy and six surgeries to treat breast cancer. Feeling healthy ahead of Frasier's Season 2 launch on September 19, she talks to ELLE about her healing story.
Shanghai Rising - An international fashion presence and an appreciation for the city's own talent are powering a renaissance in China's largest city.
A year ago, Louis Vuitton wrapped the giant warehouse space housing Fotografiska Shanghai in electric blue. The occasion? "Nóng Hó, Shanghai" (Shanghainese for "Hello, Shanghai"), a four-week cultural festival of book clubs, architecture tours, and live music to promote the maison's City Guide Series. "Everything was built in 48 hours, whereas in London that would've taken weeks," says Shem Jacobs, a recent transplant to Shanghai and Fotografiska's director of partnerships, Asia. "The efficiency here is really amazing."
