Fashion Week Will Be Going Digital This Summer With Virtual Runway Shows and Movies
June 08, 2020 at 03:34PM It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more digital fashion shows this summer. The coronavirus pandemic has caused the fashion industry to change its regular Fashion Week format for the next few seasons, and many major events like the Met Gala, the CFDA Awards, and the Cannes Film Festival have all been postponed indefinitely. We’ve already seen designers like Jacquemus adapt to the new normal by creating fashion campaigns shot via FaceTime starring celebrities like Bella Hadid. Carine Roitfeld even turned her CR Runway show into an online event that premiered live on YouTube, as did Vogue with its virtual event A Moment With the Met. The British Fashion Council announced that London Fashion Week would be taking place online in June this year. The new digital format will allow brands to showcase collections in whatever format they want, ranging from a virtual runway show all the way to a podcast. Milan Fashion Week will be hosting the first Milan Digital Fashion Week from July 14 to July 17 for the men’s Spring 2021 collections, as well as women’s and men’s precollections for next spring. The Camera Nazionale della Moda in Italy is set to unveil the full calendar of the mainly digital fashion showcase later this week. Its president, Carlo Capasa, stated in an interview with Vogue that it’s creating a new platform with Microsoft for these digital shows. “Every one of the 35 or 40 brands showing is free to use their

Storm Reid Is My Stay-Home Style Crush, and My Closet Knows I’m Taking Notes
June 05, 2020 at 06:54PM I can’t be the only one who has watched Storm Reid noshing on her toast in a blue floral Aritzia top, jamming out to “If It Isn’t Love” by New Edition 1,427 times. Someone else is with me, right?! The 16-year-old Euphoria actress, activist, and “fashionista,” as she calls herself, currently has one million followers on Instagram, and I am one of those true fans – dedicated to watching every Instagram Story she posts and tuning in to see which outfit she’ll wear next. “I’m an athlete, and nothing motivates me more than a cute spandex set, because at the end of the day, I’m a fashion person too. Me and Storm, we’re like two peas in a pod.” It’s not just because she’s beautiful, relatable, focused on spreading light and positive energy, and willing to cherish the good in the world (like her relationship with her mom, who she dresses up with frequently), it’s because I sit here like a cheese ball with a big toothy grin on my face replaying her content over and over again. Somehow, she’s been getting me through this lockdown and these last few weeks of disappointing world events. That being said, I’m looking at her today with a fashion lens, because her wardrobe is exactly what I want to be wearing. Storm rotates from her workout outfits, many of which are courtesy of Outdoor Voices, to her beautiful tops and printed dresses that are striking, yet comfortable. Her

The brand is one of many in the fashion industry like Kering, Stella McCartney, and more pledging money to organizations that are focused on combating systemic racism.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure these funds are distributed to groups that will drive meaningful impact toward combating systemic racism.

Banana Republic Isn’t Just Pledging a $20M Clothing Donation: The Brand’s Doing More
June 04, 2020 at 08:42PM Over the past few months, we’ve spotlighted fashion businesses stepping up and taking action, whether it’s to help support Americans affected by the COVID-19 crisis or to stand behind the Black community with donations, acknowledging the racially unjust murder of George Floyd and the larger conversation surrounding Black Lives Matter. Brands with a large platform can and should acknowledge voices that are struggling in America, and Banana Republic – notably a part of parent company Gap Inc. – is striving to make a difference. BR teamed up with Delivering Good to donate more than $20 million of new clothing to those in need in order to help America get back to work. It’s a project they’re calling “Will Work For a Better Republic,” and it comes after months of actionable Instagram posts the brand has put up, all of which are meant to encourage positive thinking. “By supporting Delivering Good [an organization that helps kids and families through tragedies], Banana Republic is helping men and women across the US, including those facing poverty, homelessness, and job loss. Among our network of more than 700 community partners, we will focus this donation on nonprofits with workforce training and re-entry programs and markets that have been especially affected by the current crises. This donation will have such a positive impact on men, women and disadvantaged young adults,” said Delivering Good President and CEO Lisa Gurwitch. In effort to promote equality, Banana Republic has also come together with
The CFDA Announces New Initiatives to Address Systemic Racism Within the Fashion Industry
June 04, 2020 at 08:31PM After demonstrations have been held across the United States to protest the unjust death of George Floyd, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, aka the CFDA, has announced a series of actionable initiatives they will be setting in place immediately. With many designers like Brother Vellies’s Aurora James calling for action from larger corporations, it’s about time we see organizations within the fashion community, like the CFDA, speak up on how they will be supporting the Black community. Steven Kolb, The president and CEO of the CFDA, and designer Tom Ford, who is the Chairman, outlined a list of tasks that will be undertaken by the organization to strive for change within the fashion industry. “The CFDA will create an in-house employment program specifically charged with placing Black talent in all sectors of the fashion business to help achieve a racially balanced industry. This program will be tasked with identifying Black creatives and pairing these individuals with companies looking to hire. The CFDA will also create a mentorship program and an internship program focused on placing Black students and recent graduates within established companies in the fashion sector. The CFDA will implement and make available to our members a Diversity and Inclusion training program. We will make immediate contributions and take up fundraising activities in support of charitable organizations aimed at equalizing the playing field for the Black community such as, but not limited to the NAACP and Campaign Zero – amongst others.” The
9 Beautiful Engagement Ring Stories From LGBTQ+ Couples
June 04, 2020 at 07:05PM All LBGTQ+ couples are different, so when it comes to engagement rings and exchanging vows, there are no set rules about the bling that comes with the declaration of love. Some couples gift each other rings upon proposal, while others hand-pick their stones and bands together, ordering them from the same company or boutique so there’s less of a surprise, but lots of room for personalization. A lot of people have partners that don’t like to wear jewelry at all, and that’s cool, too. Just like with all of the other little bridal details, the options are endless. I’ll never forget when my sister sent me a text message: “How can I figure out Megan’s ring size?” she asked me, after having already ordered her girlfriend a promise ring that ended up barely even fitting over the knuckle of her pinky. At least it wasn’t a diamond! Luckily, they have time to practice and dream up some options, since they both want to wear engagement rings down the road but prefer very different styles. They may even learn a thing or two from some of the couples I talked to below – lifestyle blogger Allie sneakily hacked onto her wife’s Etsy account to find out what designs she had been saving, while Bobby, senior market editor at Who What Wear, and his partner, Robbie, knew from the start they wanted something classic and timeless, thereby vowing to go on all future ring hunts together.
