“Peloton and I both believe that the power of music can help uplift, motivate and inspire those on their fitness journeys,” said Beyoncé in a statement.

Beyoncé is reportedly the most requested artist by Peloton’s global community of members so it’s fitting that the fitness company has teamed up with the Grammy-winning musician for a multi-year partnership.

The partnership is timed with Homecoming season, the annual fall celebration for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. Like with everything else this year, most of the Homecoming festivities for 2020 went digital, with Beyoncé and Peloton adding to the virtual celebration with a series of themed workout experiences across multiple fitness categories, including indoor cycling, running, strength, bootcamp, yoga and meditation.

“Peloton and I both believe that the power of music can help uplift, motivate and inspire those on their fitness journeys,” said Beyoncé in a statement. “I’ve been a Peloton member for several years, and I’m excited to partner with a company that helps people, young and old, be the best versions of themselves, in an innovative and adaptable way.”

The tome, titled Proenza Schouler 2020 New York, is available for pre-order now.

Just in time for holiday gift-giving (and treating yourself to inspiring reading material for the cozy winter months ahead), Proenza Schouler has launched pre-orders for its new creative project – a book called Proenza Schouler 2020 New York.

Labelled as a “love letter” to the bustling metropolis where Proenza Schouler was founded 18 years ago, the brand’s founders, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, produced the project in collaboration with artist Daniel Shea, who is best known for photography that explores patterns in urbanization.

“New York City means its mythology, its history, its contradictions, and range of experiences,” Shea said in a statement about the book. “It’s always changing and experiencing challenges and tensions and then also resistance to these changes. I think this contemporary moment makes sense within this identity, but with the added pressure of external forces, like the pandemic. So people are looking to each other to define different paths forward. I’ve always deeply loved New York, and now I’m falling more in love with its people.”

If you binged Netflix’s fall hit Emily in Paris and wanted a season two immediately once the finale had ended, then you’re in luck because the Darren Star-run show has officially been renewed for a second season.

Netflix cleverly made the announcement today in the form of a note from Sylvie Grateau (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) in which she writes that Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) “will need to remain in Paris for an extended period of time.” She added, “We hope that by extending her time in Paris, Emily will further the relationships she has already made, delve deeper into our culture and perhaps pick up a few words of French.” The note ended with Sylvie admitting that “we love having her in Paris” but telling Madeline not to let Emily know that.

The cast – including Ashley Park (who plays Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (hunky chef/neighbour Gabriel), Camille Razat (Camille), Samuel Arnold (Julien), William Abadie (Antoine), Bruno Gouery (Luc), Collins and Leroy-Beaulieu –  also reunited in a video announcing the news
