The New Beauty: A Modern Look at Beauty, Culture, and Fashion

In recent years, the beauty industry has
shifted the conversation towards the individual in a way it hasn't done
before. While people, and women in particular, have historically been enticed
into this industry to achieve rather rigid ideals set by society, the current
conversations brands and consumers are establishing embrace individuality and
celebrate identity. From using makeup as a means to challenge gender, to the
link between hairstyling and community-building, or the rituals of skincare
as a form of self-care, we are rediscovering beauty as a way of defining who
we are and what we value. Modern Beauty explores this shift from historical,
scientific and journalistic perspectives, in a title that will not only
appeal to industry insiders, but also to all those readers with an interest
in feeling well in their own skin - and letting the world know. What to
expect: - A contemporary look at the universe of beauty, as told by New York
Times wellness and beauty writer Kari Molvar. - A relevant insight for those
linked to the beauty industry, which is in a moment of transformation, as
concepts such as wellness, feminism and inclusivity become equally important.
- An exploration that goes beyond the superficial and presents beauty from
historical, scientific and journalistic perspectives. Partner Bio: Kari
