Can an Awards Show Solve Fashion's Sustainability Challenge?

MILAN, Italy — Second only to oil, fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Practically every stage in the life cycle of clothing has negative implications for our planet. And if the world’s population rises to 8.5 billion people by 2030, as expected by the United Nations, overall apparel consumption will rise by 63 percent, from 62 million tonnes today to 102 million tonnes in 2030, significantly amplifying the scale of the problem, according to a recent report by the Boston Consulting Group and Global Fashion Agenda, a forum on fashion and sustainability. Now, Livia Firth ’s sustainability consultancy Eco-Age and the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI) have teamed up to co-host the Green Carpet Fashion Awards, a glitzy event which will showcase the “Made in Italy” supply chain, celebrate the Italian producers that champion ethical practices, and spotlight sustainability success stories before a crowd of celebrities and industry insiders at

These New $100 Jeans Will Fit Better Than Your Favorite Vintage Pair

Image
As far as denim goes, there are pretty much two camps of thought. Either you constantly search the web for the most recent drop of your favorite brand's new pairs, or you're a die-hard vintage buyer who won't even look at a new pair. If you fall into the latter category, what we're about to say next will go against your entire outlook toward denim shopping, but we promise it's worth the disruption. Many have tried before to re-create the way vintage jeans fit, their thick material, and so many other seemingly impossible-to-capture details. What sets the brand B Sides apart from the rest is its relentless search for "stretch that doesn't look like stretch" which led them to a "family-owned mill in Georgia, founded in 1845, that carried a thick, slubby indigo twill with stretch—a decades-old material kept in production solely for manufacturers of farm gear."  Additionally, the brand is retailing its creations at affordable

Which Brand Won London Fashion Week?

WHO won Instagram at London Fashion Week? According to the social media platform’s in-house data team, the answer is Topshop, which beat Christopher Bailey’s ode to Britain at Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger’s celebrity-packed extravaganza to become the most buzzed about show on Instagram, the company revealed exclusively to Vogue . Topshop amassed more tags, mentions, and comments than any other designer during London Fashion Week. So how did the home-grown, high-street mainstay best both a heritage icon and a spectacle that had not one, not two, but three Hadid siblings? Aside from the parade of top models, which included industry darlings Adwoa Aboah, Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn, Topshop’s presence is unrivalled on the social media platform.  The brand posted more videos and stories than any other designer during London Fashion Week - and twice as many stories over the last month than third-place Hilfiger. But with the longest runway and the largest in-person audience o

McCain sinks Obamacare repeal again

Senator John McCain has said he cannot support his fellow Republicans' latest effort to repeal Obamacare, dealing it a potentially fatal blow. The Arizona senator, who is battling brain cancer, said he "cannot in good conscience" vote for the new plan, which President Donald Trump backs. Mr McCain said it was wrong to pass such far-reaching legislation without input from the Democrats. It is the second time he has thwarted his party leadership on the issue. Republicans need 50 votes in a 100-seat chamber they control 52-48 to succeed. With Democrats united in opposition, there is little margin for error. Mr McCain's objection could doom conservatives' seven-year campaign to erase Democratic former President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement. In a statement on Friday, the Arizona senator said such a bill demands extensive hearings, debate and amendment. "That is the only way we might achieve bipartisan consensus on l
