Alice bands are back!

Alice headbands may return back to fashion thanks to Victoria Beckham.

We know this woman.

She is persistent and if she chooses something to wear she wears it as long as it is needed so that everyone could understand the piece she wears has become part of her style and look.


Now her choice is an Alice band, a feminine headwear people wore some fashion seasons ago. The style icon wears it everywhere now, at the airport, in the street, at shops.

I’m sure that soon fashionistas all over the world will follow her example and we’ll see lots of trendy-looking girls wearing the same pieces on their heads.

Absolut Vodka “No Label” Edition

Following the now popular de-branding aesthetic, Absolut Vodka introduce their “No Label” Edition, further emphasizing the company’s slogan: “In An ABSOLUT World, There Are No Labels”. The meaning of the initiative is to challenge labels and prejudice to make the world more diverse, vibrant, and respectful… through alcohol.
