For those with larger busts, Leitz says don’t skip the underwire tops. Sethi and Pollack suggest V-necks, halter tops and high waists as figure-flattering components for a tummy-control swimsuit. Pollack adds that chlorine naturally affects the coloration and quality of materials, so opting for a high-quality pick will elongate the life of your swimsuit. She says the latter dries faster and is a thicker material that provides more support. Leitz recommends opting for spandex, a spandex blend or high-quality Lycra. The stylists agree: investing in swimsuits made out of quality materials is the way to go. While instinct might have you immediately reaching for black, both stylists say darker colors in general like greens, purples and blues also do the trick. Pollack and Leitz both say color-blocking is another way to create the illusion of a slimmer waist. “Ruching creates the appearance of a slimmer waist and a flatter tummy, kind of like an optical illusion,” Pollack explains. Leitz and Pollack emphasize the significance of ruching in swimsuits (and general apparel) for its ability to disguise your tummy area. “If it's not then you'll feel uncomfortable and not enjoy wearing your swimsuit,” Sethi notes in an email. ![]() Sethi and Pollack say above all else, your swimsuit should be comfortable.

Her website has claimed her for years to be the "19 year old sensation from Texas" despite her actual age, while her supposed sister Tori Stone is the "18 year old sensation".

In early 2006, Jordan Capri announced her retirement from the porn industry, but returned later that year.

It transitioned from a predominantly senior-citizen-centered approach to one that prioritized the needs of children and young people. Mr Abe's tenure witnessed a shift in focus within the social security system. And also enabled the introduction of measures to alleviate the financial burden on families in higher education. This financial boost facilitated the implementation of key initiatives such as free early childhood education and childcare. In October 2019, his administration successfully secured approximately ¥2 trillion JPY (about $13.85 billion USD) in financial resources by raising the consumption tax rate from 8% to 10%. ![]() The policies implemented under Mr Abe's leadership sparked a range of discussions and debates, attracting both supporters and critics. These initiatives can be seen as transformative in reshaping the postwar framework of Japan.

This article has been updated with a conversion of 8 hectares to its equivalent in acres.During his tenure, Mr Abe played a significant role in reforming Japan's Basic Act on Education. The development around that tower also aims to incorporate greenery and open grounds, and will become “the largest city block” in the Japanese capital, according to its website. At 390 meters (nearly 1,280 feet), Torch Tower will loom above Azabudai Hills when it completes in 2027. Other countries have meanwhile raced ahead, constructing ever-taller skylines - the Azabudai Hills skyscraper is still dwarfed by towers in New York, Taiwan and Dubai.Īnd it will soon have competition nearby, with a new torch-inspired building rising in Tokyo. Japan was once known for its technological advances and rapid urban development, though many of its tallest skyscrapers were built before the turn of the century. The UK’s Heatherwick Studio designed one of the development’s low-rise structures.Īrchitects who worked on the project previously told CNN that the residential interiors pay homage to Japanese craftsmanship and lifestyles, such as the way Japanese homes are usually laid out. The towers were designed by renowned US architecture firm Pelli Clarke & Partners. The wider development is expected to accommodate about 20,000 employees and 3,500 residents, along with a projected 25-35 million visitors per year. “To accommodate local traffic, we even constructed new roads running through the complex,” according to the website. Tokyo tower to become Japan's new tallest skyscraper The various structures will make up a “city within a city,” developers said. Spanning an area of more than 8 hectares (nearly 20 acres), the project aims to revitalize the entire neighborhood, with other on-site facilities including a spa, fitness clubs, an art gallery and a museum. The building, one of several within the development, will be multi-purpose, hosting branded hotel residences, office spaces, a university medical center, retail shops and restaurants, and the largest international school in central Tokyo, according to the release. The project has been under construction since 2019, with just “final touches” left to do in the coming months, according to a press release by building developer Mori Building Co. The completion of the tower, announced on Monday, brings the sprawling Azabudai Hills complex one step closer to its scheduled opening in the fall. That surpasses the Abeno Harukas skyscraper in Osaka, now Japan’s second tallest building at 300 meters (984 feet). The tower, with gently curved edges and a crown resembling flower petals, reaches 330 meters (1,083 feet) in height, with 64 floors above ground. The new tallest building in Japan is here - and the gleaming skyscraper is part of an expansive “modern urban village” in central Tokyo, years in the making. ![]() |
