It’s possible that, in 2019, you could get more bang for your buck by resolving emotional family issues than by slurping down algae smoothies (I mean, dream scenario do both.). At the end of the day, wellness is not an industry at all. Becoming well begins in the heart and mind. If applied on their own, these important protocols fall short when it comes to addressing the underlying roots of the luster you lack. You can feel totally lackluster while popping $300 worth of supplements weekly.

The truth is that you can be perfectly unwell while flawlessly executing on a thirty-day fitness plan. Charcoal, for example, is an incredible tool for health and we’re so glad that more people became acquainted with it in 2018, but just look at the way the craze – and the backlash – around this natural substance have been mismanaged by individuals and businesses alike. While we love exploring new trends, wellness is not a one-size-fits-all industry.

What would it mean for you to be deeply vital in 2019? What would you look like? How would you feel? What would you leave behind in 2018? ‘Deeply vital’ is definitely something that only someone in wellness would say, but it’s a good phrase to mull over this year. If you dabble in all the wellness trends, from charcoal to cruciferous overload, and follow every spike of interest in culturally relevant vegetables, you may have a lot of fun, but you may never give your mind and body the opportunity to root down into lasting habits that will make you deeply vital. Here’s the thing about “wellness”… in and of itself, it cannot make you well.

Like fashion, wellness is easily defined by two very different elements: lightening-speed trends that border on the shocking (Kanye and shroom lattes) and seasonless classics that never go out of style (Celine and green juice). Our grandkids may not rock the same compression leggings-with-AllBirds combo we’re wearing to grab blue-green smoothies at Erewhon in the future, but you can be sure they’ll be grabbing health-inducing concoctions in something designed for max mobility. Milan also offered up a major '90s moment with a number of throwback beauty trends making a high fashion comeback with body glitter at Blumarine, poker straight hair and bandanas at Fendace (the Fendi and Versace show) as well as face gems at Etro (think Gwen Stefani circa 1996).Despite our appreciation of a good trend, wellness is timeless. At Moschino (which moved to NY from Milan), model Taylor Hill hit the catwalk with a cot mobile, complete with colourful beads and squishy toys attached to her head. A theme of shiny optimism and nostalgia emerged. And while some aesthetics were strictly editorial, plenty were surprisingly wearable, too, with some * extra options thrown in for fun.Īcne Studios showcased sequinned lips in sunny coral shades and hair stylist Guido Palau dyed his models' hair bold shades of candy floss pink and sky blue at Loewe. The fashion shows at New York, London, Milan and Paris gave us an entire edit of hair and makeup escapism via neon bright eye accents, pastel cheekbones and breezy summer hairstyles. Luckily there's plenty of inspiration to get us feeling creative and itching to skip our “everyday beauty” routine. We've never been more ready to shake off winter and dive straight into the spring/summer beauty trends.
