This is a therapy in which multiple vitamins and antioxidants are administered intravenously and it is touted as a quick fix for multiple lifestyle issues such as dull skin, exhaustion, hangover, jet lag, etc.

However, reportedly, Kendall Jenner ran into complications after an IV drip session — held just before the Oscar night — went awry. This has made everyone sit up and question not only the safety of these procedures but also their validity.

A typical wedding in Bangladesh is a melting pot of all things Bengali, and often blur the arbitrarily drawn lines of caste and class, only differentiated by the varying budgetary strengths. This unification of wedding and other celebrations becomes even more visible when we look into the steps and ritual observed in most weddings — be it meeting the family, presenting a token gift, or the brides return 'visit' right after a few days of leaving for her new home.

Some keep it simple, with just a day of revelry with friends and family, and others like a drawn-out affair, with four or five functions with different rituals and themes for each of them.

Anna Sui on Fashion, Interiors, and Her New Collection for PB Teen

Anna Sui is having a moment. The celebrated designer is currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, as well as its accompanying catalog. And next week, Sui will launch her first home collection—a capsule in collaboration with PB Teen. For anyone familiar with Sui’s one-of-kind aesthetic, this comes as no huge surprise. She has routinely been inspired by interiors throughout her design career, as she discusses below. But this project is special for a couple of reasons in particular. For starters, Sui was inspired by her very own teenage bedroom and even created a replica of her vintage vanity. What’s more, fresh off her museum-driven dive into her meticulous archives, Sui based many pieces off of her iconic and fantastical designs. And while every single piece carries with it some of Sui’s signature style, her bedding collection directly references fabrics first seen on the runway. Now that’s something worth dreaming about. Here, Sui gives us an exclusive first look at her collection, and discusses the ins and outs of her creative process.

Spurgeon spent two and a half years in prison.
