Vans launches new Colourways of the Hylane

Mail & Guardian10-06-2025

Vans is releasing the iconic Hylane in bold new colourways that blend Y2K skate nostalgia with modern streetwear energy.
Vans is expanding the story of the Hylane, the Y2K skate-inspired silhouette that's been turning heads since its reintroduction. Now, the retro-futuristic style is back in updated colourways that are dialed in for skate-inspired looks, and everything in between.
Rooted in late-'90s skateboarding and reimagined for today, the Hylane takes cues from the original 1999 Upland silhouette. Chunky, cushioned, and unapologetically nostalgic, it hits that sweet spot between function and fashion. Puffed-out skate tongues, glossed Sidestripes™, 3D logos, and embroidered details that take the aesthetic to another level. Beneath it all sits a reverse waffle outsole, a Cold Cement Cup sole for long-haul durability, and padded collars built for comfort.
With the love for Y2K looks and chunky sneakers in full swing, the Hylane fits right in. It's a style born from the skate era that helped shape streetwear as we know it.
These new colorways bring a modern energy to a familiar form, keeping the Hylane's identity intact while pushing the palette into new territory. The Vans Hylane is now available at Vans retailers and

True to life or not, ‘F1' movie taps into sport's rich history of drama

The racing scenes in Brad Pitt's movie F1 are impressively authentic, but the filmmakers have also made much of how the sport's past is woven into the plot, with a hefty slice of Hollywood artistic licence. "We drew from history. A little this, a little that, then we had Lewis Hamilton keep us straight," Pitt said at a New York premiere ahead of this week's general release in cinemas. Apple's senior vice-president of services Eddy Cue, a lifelong Formula One fan and Ferrari board member, told reporters after a media screening "there's not a single event in here that hasn't happened in a real race". That does not mean, of course, that such events could happen or that they served as anything more than inspiration. The Apple Original Films blockbuster, with scenes shot during grand prix weekends, is a redemption story, with Pitt playing ageing driver Sonny Hayes on an unlikely comeback alongside a young hotshot at a struggling team. Seven-times world champion Hamilton provided advice and is credited as a co-producer on a movie scripted for audiences unfamiliar with the sport.

Hair hacks and hairstyles for the gym girl

Being a gym girl is a full-time lifestyle. From early morning workouts to post-office pilates, we're always on the move. But what about our hair? Just because you're hitting the gym hard doesn't mean your hair has to suffer. Whether you're trying to stretch your wash days or just avoid the dreaded sweaty-hair look, here are some game-changing hair hacks and cute gym-friendly hairstyles to keep your locks looking (and smelling) fresh for longer. Hair hacks for post-gym freshness Dry shampoo before the gym (Not after!) Most of us reach for the dry shampoo after a workout, but flipping the script can make all the difference. Spraying dry shampoo into your roots before exercising helps absorb sweat as it happens, preventing it from soaking into your strands. Use a sweat-wicking hair wrap or scarf Tie your hair up with a silk or moisture-wicking headband to absorb sweat along your hairline. This not only keeps your scalp cleaner but also protects your edges from breakage due to friction and moisture. Scalp wipes or micellar water after workouts If your scalp gets extra sweaty, keep micellar water on hand to gently cleanse your roots post-gym without needing a full wash. Dab it onto a cotton pad and swipe at your roots to refresh your scalp. Blow-dry the roots on cool If your scalp is damp post-workout, use a blow-dryer on the cool setting to quickly dry it out and prevent that musty, sweaty smell. This helps maintain volume and keeps your hair from looking limp. Switch to a silk scrunchie or claw clip Say goodbye to hair ties that cause creases and breakage. A silk scrunchie or a big claw clip keeps your hair secure and gentle, reducing tension and damage. Gym girl hairstyles for hair longevity 1. The high braided ponytail Keeps your hair off your back (literally), reduces sweat buildup, and still looks cute enough to run errands afterward. Use a smoothing serum to tame frizz before you braid for a sleek finish. 2. Double dutch braids (aka boxer braids) These are sweat-proof, secure, and perfect for even the most intense workouts. Bonus: undo them post-gym for effortless waves without any heat. 3. The claw clip twist Simple, chic, and totally trending. Twist your hair into a claw clip before your workout to minimise sweat exposure and kinks. Plus, it's the easiest style to take down and refresh with a little dry shampoo. 4. Top knot with a headband The MVP of gym hairstyles. A high top knot paired with a moisture-wicking headband keeps your hair protected and your hairline dry. Great for both short and long hair. 5. Bubble braids This trendy Y2K-inspired look isn't just cute—it keeps hair contained with less tension than a regular braid or pony. All you need are a few elastic bands, and you're good to go. Try not to wash your hair every gym session—over-washing strips natural oils and leads to dryness. Alternate gym days with protective styles like braids, buns, or twists. Keep your hair moisturised—especially if you're sweating a lot—so your ends don't dry out. Plan your gym schedule around your hair wash days when possible. Working out hard doesn't mean compromising on looking good. With the right hacks and hairstyles, you can hit your fitness goals and your hair goals at the same time. Because strong is sexy—and fresh hair is forever. Stay sweaty, but make it stylish. ALSO: The post Hair hacks and hairstyles for the gym girl appeared first on Woman and Home Magazine.

Harvey Weinstein judge declares mistrial on rape charge, third sex crimes trial planned

Weinstein cofounded the Miramax studio, whose hit movies included Academy Award winners as Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction . Weinstein's downfall began in 2017 and helped spark the #MeToo movement which encouraged women to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by powerful men. A different jury in the Manhattan court found Weinstein guilty in 2020 of raping Mann and sexually assaulting Haley, but New York state's highest court overturned the conviction last year. More than 100 women have accused Weinstein of misconduct. Thursday's mistrial came one day after the jury foreman told Farber other jurors were shouting at and threatening him for refusing to change his vote on the rape count. The foreman did not indicate publicly how he planned to vote, and Farber sent jurors home to cool off. The prosecution told the 12 jurors in closing arguments on June 3 the evidence showed how Weinstein used his power and influence to trap and abuse women. The defence countered the accusers lied in the witness box out of spite after their consensual sexual encounters with the Oscar-winning producer failed to result in Hollywood stardom. Weinstein's eponymous film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018, five months after sexual misconduct accusations against him were widely publicised. Reuters
