JUNE GEMS
By Lauren Knowles // DIGITAL Editor
Cheers to it OFFICIALLY being summer!
June—you gave us a little extra sunshine, a lot of patio drinks and the perfect excuse to finally get dressed up. But how has fashion kicked off this summer? We’ve rounded up a few of the most stylish moments on Instagram from the month of June to give you a glimpse. Bring the heat!
DIALED IN TO BOTTEGA
As part of Bottega Veneta’s digital journal ‘Issued by Bottega,’ Issue 02 of the virtual series dropped this month. The brand tapped some of fashion’s favourite photographers including David LaChapelle and Carlijn Jacobs who shot our favourite image from the series. Inspired by Bottega’s phone cord accessories, Sylvie Macmillain is the nail artist behind this fun nail moment we can’t get over.

RUPAUL x BALENCIAGA
You know we couldn’t talk about June without mention of Pride Month! To close out the celebrations, RuPaul and Balenciaga collaborated to create the ultimate Pride merch ready to wear all year ‘round. The capsule collection features unisex shirts, hoodies and caps for fans to flaunt. You betta werk!
BLONDE MOMENTS
Though her iconic 20 season reality show may have come to an end, we’re still Keeping up with Kim. In a recent Instagram post the star sports new Skims’ from their Outdoor Basics Drop 1, but our eyes are on this glam. We’re partial to an edgy bleached brow and a blonde moment, so we’re feeling this.

ANOK YES
Fashion model, Anok Yai, is the star of Hood by Air’s latest campaign photographed by Philip-Daniel Ducasse. A portrait shot from the campaign gets up close and personal with the model, revealing glowing glam and summer skin by makeup artist Jamal Scott. Both Ducasse and Scott label Yai ‘Black Barbie’ in their respective Instagram posts from the shoot, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
