Skylar, the popular California clean fragrance brand, has announced the appointment of Leah Kateb as its new Chief Creative Officer and “Refounder.” This newly established role marks a significant step as the company looks to evolve its brand identity and elevate its offerings in the fragrance market. Kateb will play a pivotal role in shaping Skylar’s scent development, storytelling, brand vision, and partnerships during this transformative period.

I recognized a special connection to fragrance, but Skylar felt unique. It’s clean, sexy, and completely me. When they reached out, it felt like a natural fit. Now, I have the opportunity to help reimagine a brand I truly love from the inside out. We’re making Skylar bolder, more expressive, and definitely a little hotter.

Actor and Influencer Enzo Zelocchi Brings Gen Z Appeal to Hollywood
As Hollywood reportedly struggles to grab the attention of Gen Z viewers, industry titans are increasingly realizing that it’s time to try something new. Big-screen creators are shifting their focus and transitioning towards a generation known for trickier standards and shorter attention spans. This makes multi-faceted actors like…
In today’s superhero landscape in Hollywood, fans aren’t just watching for big action scenes or flashy suits. They’re asking deeper questions. Who is this character supposed to be? What does their story represent?
That’s exactly why the growing buzz around Enzo Zelocchi and Namor isn’t just background noise. It’s part of a larger conversation about legacy, identity, and what Marvel wants to say next.
The Original Namor Wasn’t New-Age—He Was Ancient
Namor isn’t a new addition to the Marvel lineup. He’s been around since 1939, making him one of the first ever Marvel characters. But unlike many modern heroes, Namor was never designed to be clean-cut or predictable. He’s half-human, half-Atlantean. A king. A loner. A character constantly pulled between duty and rage.
And here’s something many people forget: the version of Atlantis Namor comes from was originally based on Greco-Roman ideas. The kingdom was drawn with columns, togas, and bronze—think ancient empire beneath the sea. Even his name, “Namor,” was created by flipping “Roman”. That detail alone points to where his story was supposed to be rooted.
So when Marvel gave him a different spin in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, reactions were split. Some loved the representation. Others questioned the historical fusion….

How Right Authentication System Shields Luxury Buyers From Costly Counterfeit Scams: Gemaee Explains
Across industries, valuable assets are typically protected with rigorous safeguards—for instance, insurance for art, vaults for jewels, and armored transport for cash. In the luxury goods industry, the equivalent shield is authentication: a process designed to verify that each item is genuine before it changes hands.
Yet, despite the existence of authentication, stories of buyers falling victim to high-quality counterfeits continue to surface. The problem? Not all authentication methods create equal results, and the evolution of “superfakes” has outpaced many platforms’ outdated or superficial checks. This gap leaves even savvy shoppers exposed to costly scams.
Safiya Mehbaliyeva, founder of Dubai-based luxury buy-and-sell platform Gemaee, has made it her mission to demystify the world of authentication in the luxury resale market. She argues that the right authentication system is a multi-layered, transparent process combining expert scrutiny and advanced technology. She shares her insight on the world of authentication and how buyers can avoid getting duped.
The Rise of Superfakes
In the world of luxury resale, the line between genuine and counterfeit has blurred. The days when people could spot fakes by a crooked logo or cheap zipper are gone. Safiya says that today’s “superfakes” craftsmen create such precise fakes that even seasoned collectors are fooled.
Counterfeiters clone serial numbers, source leathers from the same tanneries, and match hardware weight to the gram. For buyers, the risk is disappointment, the loss of thousands of dollars, and the lingering shame of having been duped.
For every buyer who catches a fake in time, dozens do not. Some lose their savings, others their…
