Simone Biles and Athleta Girl Collaborate on a Collection
Olympic athlete Simone Biles and Athleta Girl are collaborating on a new collection. “I wanted to create a collection with Athleta that was stylish for young women to throw on for class or take on the go to practice,” said Biles. “My hope is that the line gives girls the freedom to discover their own personal style. I want every girl to feel special in every item.”
The collection is aimed at those going back to school, promoting the importance of inner confidence in young girls. “The collection includes my affirmations ‘Use Your Voice’ and ‘Courage Is Your Superpower’,” she said. “For me, affirmations are gentle reminders that help tap into my inner confidence. I hope young girls feel like they have an ‘inner Simone’ when they wear it. If they’re ever having a rough day or feel like they can’t do it, they can look down and have that daily reminder that they can.” The collection is available for purchase online and in-store.

Dior Beauty Partners with Lucibel on LED Mask Technology
Dior Beauty is going one step further with its beauty technology by collaborating with Lucibel on an LED mask. It will be available to use in Dior spa, the at-home version will be available to purchase from January 2022. The innovative French lighting company has designed an LED mask for anti-aging and regenerating the skin. The user should wear the device for 12 minutes twice a week, the designer label shared. Moreover, it’s 20x more effective than traditional LED masks on the market.
“Because the body is made up of living cells that have a vital need for exposure to light, the mask acts first of all as a natural energy source to balance the metabolism, restore harmony, and soothe the mind,” said Dior. “Young skin sees an instant effect on quality and imperfections (reduced pore diameter, rebalanced sebum levels, and a luminous complexion). More mature skin sees an anti-aging action that is strengthened over time (smoothed wrinkles, elasticity and volume density).”
