June 18, 2020 at 08:29PM E-commerce giant Farfetch has announced the launch of a new online sustainability calculator designed to help consumers gain a better understanding of the environmental impact of their purchases. The fashion footprint tool outlines the impact of specific materials used within a piece, as well as the savings they would make if they opted to buy the item second-hand. To coincide with the launch of the calculator, Farfetch also released a report in partnership with the London Waste and Recycling Board which focused on the pre-owned market (in the US, UK and China). The report found that, on average, a pre-owned purchase can save 1 kilogram of waste, 3,040 litres of water and 22 kilograms of CO2 compared to a new piece. Thomas Berry, the director of sustainable business at Farfetch told WWD, “A lot of consumers have said they want to buy into brands doing the right things, and that they would want to stop buying from brands that are not doing the basics in terms of sustainability.” He added that the tool is designed to help customers choose from “a range of great fashion that we have on Farfetch, a large amount of which just happens to be conscious.” The addition of the calculator is the latest in a string of sustainability-focused initiatives by the e-commerce platform. Earlier this year, it held a pop-up for archival, pre-owned Chanel pieces and introduced a donation service in partnership with Thrift+ in the UK whereby users can sell

These Are the 25 Prettiest Beauty Products for a Seriously Chic Dressing Table
June 18, 2020 at 06:35PM I’m not sure about you, but I get a huge amount of joy from using certain beauty products. Whether it be a super nourishing, luxurious body cream or a red lipstick that perfectly cushions the lips, some products just have that special touch. It makes sense, therefore, that in times like these, I’m turning to such products more so than ever in a bid to lift my spirits. Similarly, with spending more time at home than I’m used to, I have also been finding ways to inject some joy into my surroundings. After several homeware orders, I’m actually starting to run out of space. So last week, as I perused my beauty shelves, I had a eureka moment. Instead of keeping all of my most beautiful, mood-lifting beauty products behind closed doors to experience one once or twice a week, why not keep them out on display for all of the world to see (well, just me for now)? With the rise of social media platforms like Instagram, aesthetics and packaging have a bigger role to play than ever when it comes to the success of a beauty product, and I’m not complaining. As every new launch gets prettier and prettier, it seems such a waste to hide them, no? So if you like the idea of your beauty products doubling up as chic ornaments for your dressing table, keep scrolling.

Laverne Cox Is Highlighting Trans Representation in a New Netflix Documentary
June 18, 2020 at 06:03PM With the new documentary Disclosure, executive producer Laverne Cox, director Sam Feder, and producer Amy Scholder offer a much-needed, in-depth look at the history of transgender representation on-screen. The doc sifts through trans portrayals in film and television, going as far back as 1914’s A Florida Enchantment to as recent as 1999’s Boys Don’t Cry and 2018’s Pose. Featuring commentary from Cox and trans artists and creators including Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, the work outlines how far trans stories have come, their evolution throughout the years, and how they reflect society’s concepts of gender and sexuality. After first premiering at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, Disclosure will finally be available to stream on Netflix this Friday, June 19. And it couldn’t come at a more pressing time. The title will hit the streaming platform just days after the Trump administration scrapped legislation that would protect transgender people from health care discrimination, in the wake of author J.K. Rowling’s transphobic tweets and essay, and as Black trans lives continue to be taken—and often forgotten, misgendered, and deadnamed—by racist violence and police brutality. “That’s the paradox of our representation, is the more we are seen, the more we are violated,” advocate and writer Tiq Milan says in the Disclosure trailer.
