FROW News #93: Your Weekly Roundup of Fresh Fashion Finds, Beauty Drops & Culture! 💅💋✈️
Hey FROW Fam! Happy Easter! 🐣🌷 We hope you're enjoying the unpredictable weather and all the sporadic sunny moments just as much as we are. We've got a lot to recap on, as you know, there have been a lot of new updates this week. I mean... baby, you're a firework? Actually, no, that's a space rocket with Katy Perry in it. We don't know the reasoning or why they took the trip to space, but it has been met with a lot of mixed responses online, especially to do with the environmental impact - I mean it's World Earth Day on Tuesday, and we are living in a time where we should be taking care of our planet. (Stay tuned on FROW - we'll be posting more content about sustainability very soon.) We wonder if the mixed opinions have them feeling as environmentally friendly as a "plastic bag drifting through the wind".
In other news, PUMA is encouraging early-morning runners with their 'Go Wild' global campaign. They have been setting up 5 am drops, empowering runners around the world to rise to the challenge and chase the runner's high no matter what time or where. They are giving away free pairs of trainers (latest Deviate NITRO™ 3, Forever Run, and other new PUMA running shoes), all you have to do is run and be the first to one of the High Drop locations in London, Boston, Las Vegas, New York, Mexico City and Tokyo. We love seeing brands that champion communities. Visit their IG for more info.
Plus SZA has announced that she will be launching her beauty brand, 'NOT BEAUTY'. She'll be starting with a drop of three lip glosses, which she was inspired to make as she needed a gloss that would last a whole concert, and she had had enough of not being able to find one in the current beauty market. Speaking of glosses and pop icons, RiRi showed up looking sparkly and stunning to promote her new lip glosses in The Fenty Beauty Avenue Pop-Up in Sephora Champs-Élysées Paris.
But anyway, much more to come, so keep scrolling!

Say Goodbye to Gaping Backs and Hello to SKYBAK🩱💙🏊♀️
Let’s be real, finding a one-piece swimsuit that actually fits when you’re tall or have a long torso is like looking for a four-leaf clover. Straps dig in, backs gape, the rise is questionable, and don’t even get us started on the lack of style. It’s like brands forget tall women exist or worse, assume “just add length” is a solution, spoiler: it’s not. Enter Helen Skybak, a 6ft woman who got very tired of compromising on swimwear. After years of frustration and failed fits, she decided to take matters into her own hands. So, SKYBAK Swimwear was born, a luxury, sustainable swimwear brand made exclusively for tall women and long-torso beauties who are done settling for less.
Swimwear should feel like a second skin, not a stretchy struggle. Their debut collection is where old school glam meets modern design, with timeless silhouettes, premium recycled fabrics (hello, Carvico VITA), and thoughtful details that celebrate tall women in all their long-limbed glory. Whether you’re drawn to the sculpted elegance of ‘The Ellie’ (£185), the bold belted vibe of ‘The Ursula’ (£175), or the retro charm of ‘The Satine’(£185), each piece is made to fit you. So if you’ve ever felt overlooked by the swimwear world, SKYBAK is here to say, We see you. We made this for you. And you’re gonna look amazing! Check out the collection at skybak.co.uk and get ready to feel seen.

Your Skin’s Secret Garden Awaits 🤫🪴🦠
‘Meet Your Microbiome’ is a 45-minute service. Lush has a workshop for customers to understand their skin, helping you to make more informed decisions when choosing products for your skin. The experience includes getting hands-on, making Lush’s bestselling Angels On Bare Skin cleanser to take home, having a free on-face skincare application and consultation, learning deeper insights into your skin and its microbiome and having a closer look at why Lush's products are fresh, not sterile.
But what even is the microbiome? Much like the forests and seas of planet Earth, the microbiome is the skin’s own ecosystem and an essential part of the skin barrier. So basically, in our terms, you have to take care of your skin ecosystem and water and weed it by using the right products that lush is going to explain in this service. And for any of you who want to elevate your skincare experience, Lush is launching a new, lifting facial spa treatment- the 'Rewilding Facial' (50 minutes, £125), with ingredients that help not just benefit your skin microbiome but also the biomes around the globe. This 50-minute lifting facial utilises hot and cold therapy, facial massage and lymphatic techniques to make skin look sculpted and rejuvenated, all to the tune of a bespoke soundtrack of historic nature folk songs (*cue audience oooo sound here). Sounds very fancy, send us your before and after pictures, we would love to see the results.
To book a space for the free complimentary ‘Meet Your Microbiome’ service, click here on Eventbrite. The Rewilding Facial is available in Lush Spas nationwide. Visit their website for more information.
