THE WORLD OF POIRET

1 week ago | violetgrey.com | Laura Regensdorf

Inspired by the creative milieu of the couturier Paul Poiret, a new beauty house makes its debut exclusively at VIOLET GREY. It’s an opulent exercise in getting dressed—here in the guise of high-performance skin care. Written by LAURA REGENSDORFPhotography by BEN HASSETT The name Poiret is synonymous with wearable flights of fancy from the early 20th century: dropped-waist dresses, sumptuous opera coats, harem pants and kimonos calling to mind adventures well outside Paris.
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

Written by Laura Regensdorf Patience is a virtue, an increasingly salient maxim in this warp-speed age. The task is to bide time, thereby building resilience and stoking anticipation and coolly floating above it all. Eventually, there’s the reward.

Written by Laura Regensdorf For the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jason B. Diamond, familiar faces are part of doing business. “My cell phone would be a matter of national security, I think, if you could see who’s in it,” the doctor jokes, though some fans make themselves known.

Written by Laura Regensdorf DISCOVERED There is no mistaking the appeal of a long session at the Korean spa, from the thorough sloughing to the communal recharge. But to achieve that feeling of brand-new, born-this-very-minute skin at home is a feat.

PIA BARONCINI

Written by Laura Regensdorf “My husband always laughs that he’s never met a woman who gets ready so quickly but takes such a long time to go to bed,” says Pia Baroncini, the founder and creative director of the fashion brand LPA. For the mother of two with a stacked slate of projects—including a podcast and Substack, an olive oil label out of Sicily, and marketing strategy for her husband Davide’s line, Ghiaia Cashmere—it’s understandable that the evening routine is a sacred one.
MBR LIQUID SURGERY SERUM®

2 months ago | violetgrey.com | Laura Regensdorf

Written by Laura Regensdorf DISCOVERED It’s the holy grail of skin care: a topical formula that bottles up the transformative results of an in-office procedure. If this sounds too good to be true, it often is! Puffed-up claims and unearned hype have made skeptics of us all—which is why it’s such a thrill to land on a real wonder-working product.
Gucci Westman

Written by Laura Regensdorf “People like Jennifer Aniston have texted me so many times over the years, ‘When are you going to make me something that can make my skin like that?’” says the editorial makeup artist Gucci Westman. That, of course, refers to Westman’s on-set specialty: conjuring a healthy, sun-kissed glow that feels resolutely natural, as seen in her deep catalogue of Vogue covers and red-carpet work. But is it really possible to bottle up such carefully wrought finesse?

HABELO ACTIVATING HAND SERUM & TREATMENT-BOOSTING GLOVES

Mar 28, 2025 | violetgrey.com | Laura Regensdorf

Written by Laura Regensdorf DISCOVERED There’s a tendency in skin care to prioritize the face over the body—an understandable bias toward what greets us in the mirror and fronts our day-to-day interactions. But by that logic, we should care every bit as much about our ever-present hands. Weathered by winter chap and summer sun, dishwashing and paper cuts, the hands have a way of showing life experience—in other words, the fine lines, thinning skin, and discoloration that come with age.
EIGHTH DAY’S NIGHT CREAM TREATMENT

Mar 14, 2025 | violetgrey.com | Laura Regensdorf

Written by Laura Regensdorf DISCOVERED Ask any dermatologist for their must-have skin care recommendation, and the answer will very often be this: retinol. In truth, that word is a stand-in for the entire class of retinoids, from prescription-strength retinoic acid (effective but notoriously irritating) to the easygoing retinols that don’t always pack a punch.
